NYT Magazine Wonders, Hey, Who The Hell Is This Black Guy?

by Jim Newell  

The esteemed, venerable and important New York Times Sunday Magazine this week spends TEN WHOLE INTERNET PAGES speaking from the side of its jaw about this black feller, Obaramasama, and how none of the “real” whites like him really at all. See on the cover there, he’s talking to any white guy in a secret black cave with minimal lighting, and that white guy probably hates his filthy rotten guts. Or something? Oh bollocks, just make a glass of gin with scotch and read this million-word article by the reliable Matt Bai about a subject every magazine has written about fourteen thousand times already. Obama talks about Bittergate and some other stuff. [NYT Mag]

White people will always defer to thin people. Secret pecking order.

What happened, NYT Mag, did the tank get too full for the white people?

Lionel Hutz Esq. October 15, 2008 at 4:28 pm

Oh great. Is Obama dealing to frat boys again?

Slim October 15, 2008 at 4:29 pm

Obama’s black? I thought he just had a really good tan.

SayItWithWookies October 15, 2008 at 4:29 pm

He’s not half-white enough.

Yeah, damn those black charismatic intelligent well spoken former Harvard Law Review Editor with hot wife and Con Law Instructors who destroyed two political machines in the span of one year.

Texan Bulldoggette October 15, 2008 at 4:33 pm

Damn that’s a long article. Do they get paid by the letter over there at the NYT Mag? Do they think that the longer the story the more elitist & fancy it is?

Larry Fine October 15, 2008 at 4:33 pm

The old white guy is sayine, “Hey boy, can you do a little dance for me and the fellers?”

nosnikreplliw October 15, 2008 at 4:34 pm

What is a fake white?

ihasasad October 15, 2008 at 4:41 pm

I got through Matt Bai’s first page…if he’d leave out the robin eggs this would go much quicker dad-nab-it.

Is he really asking Obama to pimp for him? I could be wrong…

Rebel Countess October 15, 2008 at 4:47 pm

Why does Obama even bother with these relics, except out the goodness of his heart? Or maybe he just wants to shake hands with history, ’cause that’s what they are?

Does he actually think they can find a polling place on election day?

Hell, they spend half their work-time discussing the Steelers and half their off-time looking for the remote under the couch cushions!

Even their wives and kids know better than to try to engage them in conversation.

TJBeck October 15, 2008 at 4:52 pm

Oh, shit I didn’t know he was black. Screw it I’m voting McCain!

Miller October 15, 2008 at 4:53 pm

Hopefully the Washington Times or Post will publish a multi-part story on how to properly do an elaborate 14 step black handshake, so all those white guys in Washington won’t get off on the wrong foot with Obama by trying to shake his hand all regular like.

10-1 on election night, as the numbers roll in, and its like 54-46% for Obama, Joe Scarborough and everyone are going to urge us to focus on a few rural counties where Obama couldn’t quite convince the white people to vote for him.

I cream my bunched-up panties into a lather for a tall skinny smart guy who rolls up his sleeves like that. He’s got my vote. — Michael P. Mouse

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Why don’t they just write an article saying we’re uncomfortable writing about Obama’s race because we don’t think race should matter but we’re not 100% certain of because of racism and wait should it matter? So let’s talk uncomfortably about race and also we’re fucking idiots.

The end.

BoreExpert October 15, 2008 at 5:06 pm

Not enough hot Barry pics. Stupid article…

TGY October 15, 2008 at 5:17 pm

I would read this article if I thought it mattered. Demonstrations of venerability do not thrill me.

Oxy Moron October 15, 2008 at 5:18 pm

So I read this whole article and I think that in the end it said that, No, Hopey can’t close the deal with those white guys, but it won’t matter in the election. Thanks elitist NYT, I could have gotten that from Nate Silver without wasting 80 hours of my life reading lots of words on a tiny screen.

facehead October 15, 2008 at 5:35 pm

He just has to say “I’M RICH BITCH!” a few times and he’ll win their hearts.

WhatTheHeck October 15, 2008 at 5:53 pm

One day, not so long from now, the N.Y. Times will end up like the N.Y. Post – and will become useful only for wrapping fish.
It’s the pursuit of journalistic excrement.

rocktonsammy October 15, 2008 at 7:25 pm

Which white guys?

FOX?
