Pam Spaulding alerted me to the demotardic shenanigans of Andrew Cuomo [1]. My quick response is ending up being a larger piece on race, so let me just get the news out first.

Andrew Cuomo, the Attorney General for the State of New York and Hillary Clinton supporter, has earned not just a culturekitchen Demotard award [2]. He also gets to hang on his door a Reappropriate "Racism Fairy" badge and enjoy a video prelude from Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing [3] :

Andrew Cuomo (who could easily be played by John Tuturro, the italian guy in the video clip) said of the primary process that, “You can’t shuck and jive at a press conference ... all those moves you can make with the press don’t work when you’re in someone’s living room. [4]”

His response to criticism for the quote? Well, what he really meant was "bob and weave" your way through a situation. That it was never meant as a reference to Barack Obama.

Yes, because "shuck and jive" is really all about bobbing and weaving.

Geezus.

I have more respect from Klansmembers than from Europeanoid liberals with repressed racist tendencies that get manifested in curiously inappropriate moments like, you know, when they're talking up their white candidate who's poised to lose the nomination to a black man.

I mean, at least the Klan is open about it. With these people, we gotta get into the whole bullshit about subconscious intentionality because, you know, they'll never own to the fact they're the product of a racist society.

This is what Pam has to say [5] :

You see folks, this is what I'm talking about. This whole "post-racial" nonsense is a simple fantasy or delusion uttered by people who think race isn't a problem anymore. I'd like that to be the case as much as anyone else, but the fact of the matter is for Democrats, the alleged party of tolerance, this kind of bush-league nonsense exposes the real problem -- that the lack of engagement on how race and political races bring out the worst in people, and plays to the base fears of voters.

And let's not forget the godfather of the political Blackosphere, Earl Dunovant of Prometheus6 [6]:

Let's be clear: there is no explanation for your staff passing on the terrorist smear, or raising questions about drug dealing as they have, that will satisfy me.

That said, I understand your efforts to be relevant but the fact is you have no experience using Black cultural expressions. So tell your people to stop trying. Black folks have a lifetime of experience understanding standard English.

'Nough said.
