Can someone spell out this situation for me?

I think the song is making fun of that article written by a black journalist. I personally don't find anything racist about the song. It might be dumb, but it isn't racist.

"negro" is no more racist than "honky" or "cracker". as far as i can tell, the singer is a negro. therefore, its existence is as racist as any song about "george bush: the magic honky"

edit: "george bush: the magic honky" would be sung by a white devil

Wait... are you saying that calling people "honky" or "cracker" is not racist?

they do have racist etymologies/origins from the era of american slavery.

since the singer of the barack song appears to be a negro, the use of the word "negro" within the song is not taboo. similarly, since i am a white devil, my use of the terms "honky" and "cracker" is not demeaning to those, like me, in a position of power.

LOL apparently this is a major news story again. There is a war going on in Israel, and all the media can focus on is this stupid song.
