Meet the Hon. James David Manning, PhD.
OMFG. So, over at Dangerous Minds, Richard Metzger has a very scary/funny post about an extreme right-wing African-American media personality many are calling "the Black Glenn Beck." In the clip above, he seems to be inciting white people to start a race war, using talking points from white supremacist organizations. "White people are being kicked around, having their rights kicked to the curb, having their tax dollars fund prostitution... y'all gonna push these white folk 'til they can't take it no more?"
Richard says:
THE BLACK GLENN BECK: THE HON. JAMES DAVID MANNING, PHD (Dangerous Minds)His favorite thing to call the President, however, is “the long-legged Mack Daddy.” Manning also hates Michelle Obama, has called her ugly, a slut and has even suggested she visit the same plastic surgeon as Michael Jackson. Manning’s Trinity of Hell is comprised of Obama, Oprah Winfrey and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. It should probably come as no surprise that he’s been a guest on Sean Hannity’s Fox News and radio shows.
Manning is proud to call himself an extreme right winger and is beloved of birthers, survivalists, Obama haters, the NRA and other assorted wingnuts. On his five days a week, three hours per day talk show, which he co-produces with his wife, he does bizarre and extremely unfunny “mock interviews” with Fidel Castro, prays fervently for Bristol Palin and he even had “author” Lawrence W Sinclair (“Brother Lawrence” as Manning calls him) of Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder?
infamy on as a guest.

Great, now the bigots can say "See? We're not racist- we've got a black guy!"
"White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
Black man gotta lot a problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick"
"One hundred and two percent African, with a two percent margin of error? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Quick! We need an uncle ruckus image macro stat!
Ugh.
I just cant find humor in this. Its just frightning. I can't believe I share a country with slimeballs like this.
*barf*
That was so painful I couldn't finish.
Xeni-Thank you for keeping your posts diverse. No pun intended, OK maybe a little.
But I really love how you shake it up. What a trip. You gotta wonder if this guy knows it makes money.
A black Malkin, or is she a brown Manning?
I am surprised that he does not refer to himself as Dr. James Manning, PhD.
Life almost imitating art again.
Someone has to say it:
Countdown to 4chan exposing him to be an undercover FBI informant / COINTELPRO operative in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
Well I know who Glen Beck will keep as a pet after he gets his wish of rioting...
At this point in my life things like this don't phase me. People spewing irrational logic, hate mongering, and fear tactics isn't that abnormal for any talk radio show at this point. It's what gets the ratings. Unless your Oprah that's how it is going to be played, see Jerry Springer...
My parents lean toward the right, much more than myself, but I find it fun to discuss things with them. And 9 times out of 10 we all end up on the same page. I believe any single individual can and will make logical and reasonable choices if presented with clear and concise facts. Put that same person in a crowd, water down the facts, throw in a few off color lies, and yeah they follow the herd pretty quick. I believe the internets call them sheeple.....
This reminds me of the Dave Chappell skit about the Black White Supremacist.
For those who haven't seen the skit, it's about a blind black man who grows up in the deep south. No one ever tells him he's black, so he becomes a white supremacist.
Later, he finds out he is black. He ends up divorcing his wife for being a "n***** lover".
just to let you know... i'm *your* squishy lovey, cuddly eco-safe, card carrying liberal gun toting survivalist wingnut... since we're talking polemics
stupid++
i'm doing my damnedest to skew the culturegeist so that when Hegelian synthesis occurs we'll have made some positive yards.
long-legged, half-breed usurper?
btw, James David Manning's "PhD" was bestowed from his own "All The Land Anointed Holy" (i.e. Harlem) Theological Seminary, an unaccredited educational institution.
O-Come-On He awards himself a Ph.D. from his own unaccredited institution and you append it after his name like it means something? Don't dignify the fraud.
Can someone tell me what Obama has done to so thoroughly piss off the right?
'Cause if anyone should be pissed it's the lefties that voted for Change and instead got Obama.
guy's an idiot, turn it off
At first I was like HOLY SHIT, but then, at 8:35, I LOLed.
Here is a nice remix of his Obama rant
Obama PIMP

I thought that BoingBoing would be supportive of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivalism
Be prepared for the zombie apocalypse, and all that jazz. I didn't think that self-sufficiency was associated with other assorted wingnuts.
This guy's soundclips have long been a staple of the Howard Stern Show. I believe that Stern interviewed him at some point.
If I were to take a drink of hard liquor every time he said "long legged mack daddy" I would be smashed until next week ;)
Sheesh, this guy...yeah, 'nuff said.

Alan Keyes/James David Manning, PhD, 2012: "For the lulz."
One of my older right-wing relatives sent this to me just the other day in his weekly fwds that, I think, are meant to help me see the light. The comments earlier in the chain were half serious misguided notions mixed with hilarity. They certainly didn't seem to be giving this guy any respect but were pleased to have such a distinguished black man (He's got a PhD!) on their side.
Yeah, and that crazed leftist socialist national healthcare loving filmmaker John Pilger called our savior Obama a marketting creation too. Oh wait, he's not a right winger, so I can't dismiss him as a wacko while the Left is in power can I?
Wait, which hand is my Left? which is my Right? I'm so confused.

If you criticize Mr. Beck as being the white version of Dr. James David Manning, then obviously you have never watched his show or read any of his materials. Stop reading the NYT and watching Obermann and draw your own conclusions.
He's smart enough to have figured out that 'nutjob' is the easiest way to higher ratings.
@ Presterjohn:
John Pilger relates to David Manning's nutball rants how, again?
I agree with Xeni....OMFG
the connection is left as an exercise for the reader.
Ha!
This guy's gone wrong. Is it any wonder why people who can't take actual dialogue bring their opinions to one-way airwaves? I just saw "Inglorious Basterds" and this leaves me more queasy.
I stopped listening after "long-legged halfbreed
usurper illegal alien" at 4:54. How did I get so
far?
Anyway, he's not a PhD:
"Manning also holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree
from his own ATLAH Theological Seminary, an
unaccredited educational institution."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_David_Manning
I even doubt if hes honorable.
He sounds a little like Joe Morgan, the old Cincy Red. Just his voice. Anyway, this guy is just Howard Bealeing. Don't know why everyone's got their skivvies in a twist. He's so marginal he's not even on the page.
UNLESS folks need to believe he represents some big faction so they can BE ANGRY AND AFRAID on the net.
Manning's church is just a few blocks from where I live in Harlem. His earlier, and ongoing, claim to fame is the "No De, Nor Rain" boycott of nearly all businesses in Harlem except hair salons. The purpose of the boycott is to drive down real estate prices so that gentrifier's sell to "indigenous" Harlemites.
Or something. The actual philosophy is, as you might expect, not very clear.
He's also a disgruntled Hillary supporter. He's commented that Obama's father "went a-whorin' for white trash" and has stated you can't trust an African-American man who hasn't been arrested.
He was also part of the "We The People" Tax Fraud press conference last December that intoduced Dr. Orly Taitz on an unsuspecting world.
He sure can spew the words. Colorful is the nicest word I can think of. He gives us wingnuts a bad name!
Should explain to non-US people (like me, but I like to keep up with this lunacy) that his ranting against MSNBC and Oprah and such is part of the received stupidity of the barking-mad Right.
That is, the Mainstream Media is part of the leftist conspiracy.
According to this theory left-leaning journalists are able to supervene their various editorial boards and management and advertisers so that only their Marxist viewpoint holds sway.
The Fox network, of course, is the vanguard of community activism against Socialism in this crazed narrative.
@presterjohn
Congratulations. You've successfully equated a respected journalist with a self-serving conman. Reward yourself with the cookie of your choice.
"polemical campaigning style"? Yes, possibly, but Pilger is in fact, right. Manning is just another loon.
.
Now the bigots can say, "We OWN a black guy."
That's what it says in this field guide to the Republican "mind." Makes a lotta sense, if you've ever had a six foot iron rod driven through your brain.
Which, BTW, I do NOT recommend. Any more.
.
He's hardly the only one. There's plenty others like him. Just another preacherman trying to con you out of your hard earned cash.
I'll say it again and again, the human race is effin' insane.
true, true. Would you exterminate it if you could?
unicorn chaser , please , on the rocks with a twist please -- thank you so very much
mmm...difficult.....
(Sigh) I wish I were a long-legged mack daddy.

alas, the thermic lances lie ready, the clay cofferdams holding back the muriatic deluges lie under the shadow of the sledges, e'en the pneumatic scalers leak wheezily in pregnant promise, ablutions command, anon then.
Unicorn chaser, with a twist? (sorry, no rocks)

"Would you exterminate it"? No of course not. Just venting. Loved the "Withnail and I" clip. Fantastic movie.
@ 8 OMFG! never LOLd so hard! thanks for the link ;)
Thanks for the post. When are the riots again? I wanna be ready to join all the white people when they storm the streets and destroy their own stuff.
Also any of you see an Uncle Tom anywhere around here somewhere? Selling this whole outrage over a black prez is gonna just sound racist when I'm the one saying it.
MY GOD! It's like the Sam Fuller's movie, Shock Corridor!
It's so over the top. It almost seems like an act. You suppose he's acting so nuts just to point out how ridiculous people who believe this stuff look?
I'm a proud NRA member, and I resent Xeni lumping this loonatic in with the rest of us.
As a Libertarian, I support all 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights, and am a card-carrying member of the ACLU as well. The 2nd Amendment is just the one that is regularly attacked by the left as being out-of-place among the other nine, yet it is the 2nd Amendment that allows us to defend all of the others from being repealed by Congress.
This is not a discussion of the Second Amendment.
.
Yeah. It's only your pop-gun standing between us and the Marines. "Libertarians"! HAH! People too poor to be welcomed by the Republicans and too stupid to be Democrats.
.
Nice wristwatch.
You'll notice that some of us aren't laughing nor are we surprised.
