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

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]

    azw88: YUP.

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

  5. CivicHoliday says at 4:27 pm, October 15th, 2008

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

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

    Oh great. Is Obama dealing to frat boys again?

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

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 4:29 pm, October 15th, 2008

    He’s not half-white enough.

  9. ManchuCandidate says at 4:29 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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.

  10. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:33 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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?

  11. Larry Fine says at 4:33 pm, October 15th, 2008

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

  12. nosnikreplliw says at 4:34 pm, October 15th, 2008

    ha ha ha. close the deal. with a white guy, no less!

  13. ihasasad says at 4:36 pm, October 15th, 2008

    O’keefe’s Tavern is very pretty with the xmas lights and the menz sitting together in the booths

  14. tunamelt says at 4:39 pm, October 15th, 2008

    What is a fake white?

  15. ihasasad says at 4:41 pm, October 15th, 2008

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

  16. ihasasad says at 4:41 pm, October 15th, 2008

    tunamelt: ecru?

  17. Toomush Infermashun says at 4:42 pm, October 15th, 2008

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

  18. Rebel Countess says at 4:47 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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.

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

  20. 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.

    ihasasad: Festooned with Christmas lights.

  22. slavojzizek says at 4:58 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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.

  23. slappypaddy says at 4:59 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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

  24. OzoneTom says at 4:59 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Larry Fine: He’s too busy prepping for the slap-down tonight, but Colin Powell could do some dancin’: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7670788.stm

  25. magic titty says at 5:02 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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.

  26. BoreExpert says at 5:06 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Not enough hot Barry pics. Stupid article…

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

  28. Oxy Moron says at 5:18 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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.

  29. facehead says at 5:35 pm, October 15th, 2008

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

  30. WhatTheHeck says at 5:53 pm, October 15th, 2008

    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.

  31. rocktonsammy says at 7:25 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Which white guys?

    FOX?
