The phrase "Magical Negro" has academic, archetypal, and artistic referents and applicability, along with its cohorts: 'noble savage', 'the man who knows indians', 'wise man who educates Hero', and others. I refer those interested to Joseph Campbell's works on art, archetypes, and mythology. The stories are legion, from all cultures.

That said, kindly note that any use of the phrase to hurl as an insult (toward any human, org member or not) will incur negative sanction here.

Translation for my California friends: No n-bombs of any kind allowed here.
It's a problem only if it benefits you to make it one this time around. You saw it from the Clintons already, but I don't think you'll see it from the Republican leadership.

Is anyone who uses the back room black anyway? When we posted our pictures a while back i remember being blinded by the light.
