Andrew Cuomo: "Shuckin' and Jivin'"

Back in January, Clinton supporter and New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo had this to say about Clinton's win over Obama in New Hampshire:
It's not a TV crazed race. Frankly you can't buy your way into it. 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.
"Shuckin' and jivin'" is a racially loaded way to refer to black people make up stories to authority figures in order to get out of trouble.
