Black Like Me: Jim Moran Declares Himself Arbiter of Blackness

And negtritude, I guess.

Which by the way is a real word and not a slur. It came up in Balderdash. (Not the real game -- you don't need the game to play Balderdash, you just need a dictionary. Anyone can page through a dictionary and pick an interesting word.)

So "negritude" is a real word.

Anyway, let Jim "Shaft" Moran tell you suckas that all this jazz from jive-turkey Allen West is nothin' but the White Man's Lies.

Video at the link. Here's Rapmaster Jim Moran layin' it out for y'allz.

"People like Mr. [Allen] West, and Governor Brewer and so on, particularly Mr. West, is not only not representative of the African-American community or of the Republican Party, let alone of the American public. So what he says really is of little or no consequence, but it's unfortunate," Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) said about Rep. Allen West telling liberal leaders to "get the hell" out of the country.

"He just seems clueless not that he has climbed abroad ship. He's climbed this latter of opportunity that was constructed by so many of his ancestors' sweat, sacrifice, blood, you know they did everything they could for his generation to be successful. But now that he's climbed abroad ship, instead of reaching down and steadying the latter, he wants to push it off. 'I'm up here. If you're not with me, too bad.' And President Obama, fortunately, is the kind of guy that says 'I was very fortunate to get where I am and I'm going to spend my life trying to steady that latter of opportunity by reducing college tuition and training our workers, trying to get a decent job for everybody. Making sure that while I'm African-American, it really doesn't matter. What matters is my commitment to public service, my love for this country and I'm going to leave a constructive legacy,'" he said.

Moran says that Obama "doesn't engage in this nonsense" and calls him our "Lion King" while comparing his Republican detractors to "hyenas."

"Lion King." Gee, that's not too on-the-nose, is it?

Now this other cat is black, but he's still jivin' and shuckin'.

He castigates a black woman who's running for Congress. How dare she.

Then he launched into a 16-minute argument filled with curse words and accusations that added up to her being too close to whites and not really having the interest of the black community in mind. Eventually, Bergmann bowed out of the conversation, and that’s when Matthews really let her have it — not only did he accuse her of being a “token negro” for whites, but he also slipped in references about Martin Luther King and even refused to shake her hand because he was afraid her “whiteness” would rub off on him.

By the way: This is the weirdest thing. He's the radio host, supposedly, but his mic is awful and you can barely hear him. He just sounds like a jivey robot buzz. On the other hand, the mic on the woman is mostly clear.

Nice work, guys. You're very good at your jobs. Or maybe you sound like shit because The White Man would never allow you to have a clear signal.

Thanks to BenK, who's at @benk84 on Twitter.

I used to like Jim Moran, back when he was producing phat grooves like this.
