What you’re saying is that Cornell and Tavis are a modern version of Amos n’ Andy that we’re supposed to pretend is serious discussion. It’s long been a standard of black humor for some cretin to try to impress people by using words he doesn’t understand and can’t pronounce. I agree completely, and you could easily add Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to that. Rev. Al cracks me up, although MSNBC infuriates me for giving this racist criminal buffoon a platform as a “serious” commentator when he can’t even talk understandably.
Yes, you’re right. “Amos ‘n’ Andy’’. Wow. They were a little before my time but you’re right. Even though it’s a dark story and movie, there is a scene in “The Informer’’ where McLaughlin as “Gypo Nolan’’’ is spending his ill-gotten reward in a bar and he launches into a soliloquy of this kind of speech.
