WaPo: Palin accuses president of ‘shuck and jive’ on Libya (That's racist!)
Washington Post ^ | October 24, 2012 | Erik Wemple

Posted on 10/24/2012 10:18:41 AM PDT by maggief

Like many conservative pundits, Sarah Palin is criticizing President Obama for his administration’s inconsistent statements on the Benghazi, Libya, attack. Unlike many conservative pundits, Palin used the term “shuck and jive” to describe Obama’s behavior.

In a Facebook post today, Palin wrote: “Obama’s Shuck and Jive Ends With Benghazi Lies.” She also used the term in the text of the post, which concludes, “President Obama’s shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end.”

Shuck and Jive.

I’m pretty close to Caspar The Friendly Ghost in complexion, at least in the spring before getting any tan so I can speak on this as authentically WHITE enough to comment.

Living in the South, I have heard that term used in reference to WHITE people lying or cheating each other quite often. It’s almost part of my family lexicon, used to head off any line of bullsh*t a family member is attempting to spread.

Also as a sign the phrase wasn’t exclusively a slur against the brothers of color, it was used on that more Cracker than a Saltine television program The Dukes of Hazzard. It was referenced more than a few times by the Duke Boys, two sterling examples of Caucasiology, almost exclusively when they were planning to pull something over on Boss Hogg, again, a whiter than Charmin Extra Soft individual himself.

So “mr.” wemple, you see there’s more to this phrase than a racist attack on the poor oppressed men and women of color. And if you and your brother in arms mr. roland martin had one iota of honesty in your souls, you’d not be making up an issue out of whole cloth .

However, I certainly believe neither one of you has the integrity to miss out on an opportunity to attack and slur a woman you disagree with in the most hate filled and destructive way possible. It’s just your nature.

Here’s Wikipedia before it reacts:

Shuckin’ and jivin’ (or shucking and jiving) is an American slang term for the behavior of joking and acting facetiously. The term can also refer to the speech and behavioral mechanisms adopted in the presence of an authoritative figure.[1] Shuckin’ and jivin’ usually involves clever lies and impromptu storytelling, used to one-up an opponent or avoid punishment.[2] Such behavior is believed to have originated in the era of slavery.[2]

Shuckin’ and Jivin’: Folklore from Contemporary Black Americans (ISBN 0-253-20265-5) is the name of a book written by Daryl Cumber Dance in 1981. In 1972, the Johnny Lewis Quartet record a soul jazz LP called Shuckin’ ‘N Jivin’ .[3]

The term is also used in the Southern United States referring to deceit or mischief involving lies.[citation needed]

Also Jay Carney used the same phrase a few weeks ago. Gotta love Sarah and how she is in the media’s heads 24/7..she used that quote on purpose because she knew once people started looking they would see that others in the Dem party used the same exact phrase

Nothing but respect for my girl Palin - Romney should appoint her to a high office in his administration.

Maybe Secretary of Whoop-Ass?

Naw, she’s anti-Semitic. She used the word “shtick” in the sentence. A vaudeville word used by Jewish comedians

I don’t think it was ‘Shuck and Jive’ .... I think it was probably ‘Snort and Crash’.
