For writing the name of a legit article and a parodied video?

"The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro .
He's there to assuage white "guilt" (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest."
There was no racism intended in that thread and the double standard is just rediculous...if there is not going to be a voice of opposition allowed in Know the Ledge then what is the point of the site?
I just want a legit explanation...since it seems i was banned more for my beliefs than anything that was allegedly done with malintent...all of my posts in know the ledge have logical reasoning that can be backed up with statistics and facts
Retta S i would appreciate an explanation because silencing the voice of opposition is just Un-American and ignorant....
here is smarterlyrics complaint of me
