Doesn't the "offensive term" need to originate from a 'majority' person? You know...to be considered/imagined to be 'offensive'?
If the term was re-introduced into the lexicon by a black man not matter? Bigly?
and that he used it to lament stereotypes of black men in entertainment
I've re-read Ehrenstein's essay a few times...I don't get much of a 'lamentatious feels'. Can you point it out for this slow southerner?
And if there was indeed "lament", who has been in charge of Hollywood entertainment for decades? Libs or Cons?
and that this is FAR different than a racist white man using it in a song to mock a black man. Really? This needs an explanation?
Uh, yeah. You claim this "song" is proof of Limbaugh racism. Yet he never recalled the term (black lib Ehrenstein did) nor wrote the satirical song. (Shanklin did).
The irony that eludes you ( & therefore makes this song brilliant satire) is a black lib (Ehrenstein) brought the subject up and used lib black men (Sharpton, Snoop) to deliver the "on the record" critique of Obama/guilty white liberals. All while sitting back as a harmless little fuzzball.
SATIRE: a literary technique employed by writers to expose and criticize foolishness and corruption of an individual or a society, by using humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule.
(Barack, the Magic Negro)
Shanklin merely wrote the satire, and Limbaugh amplified it.
Think of it this way: Savvy writes an essay lamenting how southerners are always portrayed as bumbling rednecks in Hollywood. I take that essay and sing a song called Savvy the bumbling redneck. See the difference?
You're now confusing satire (Magic Negro) with farce (your example re: me/Savvy).
FARCE: A farce is a literary technique which involves lighthearted comedy that centers around a ridiculous (that I would lament how southerners are treated in Hollywood) plot that usually involves exaggerated ('bumbling', by southern geography) and improbable events (I'd find 'insult' in being called a redneck.)
These different literary devices are taught in middle-school, in the South.
Proper distinction has to be demonstrated before advancement to HS.
When are they covered in hallucinogenic-legal Colorado?

Sometimes I think white conservatives need a manual to help them know how to behave in a modern world.
lol
BULLSHIT: a literary technique wherein a young writer will employ a heavy use of academic concepts, excessive quotes, references and sheer word count to distract from the fact that he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about.

A tried and true technique by Savannah ... go to great lengths to mansplain away what the average person recognizes as common sense so he can explain to us what Rush really meant isn’t racist, like this us the only incident, or what this Republican did wasn’t really a crime because years ago some Democrat did something bad ...
That’s the funniest part. He is actually somewhat intelligent, meaning he has to go to FAR greater lengths to complete the exhaustive mental gymnastics to overlook common sense.
Just like he still thinks AG William Barr is just a neutral observer and not trying to protect the Trump crime syndicate.
