Swearing, condemning “whitey” and the “white man”, dissing all his callers, goofy pionytail, funk music playing in the background, trombone zoom shots …

“Cut that bitch off!”
“I come in the name of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. Anyone resisting, goddamn my ass, kiss it!”
“Jesus is the way to peace. The fuck is you talkin’ about …”
“Repeat after me, bitch, I come in the name of Jesus!”
“Try to trip a n\*\*\*\*r uop like me, 'cuz I ain’t following whitey’s rules!”
Is this guy for real?

Supposedly so. [Here](http://www.directionzero.com/2006/video-the-spirit-of-truth/) is what the person who originally posted the video to youtube has to say:

> This was taken from a los angeles public access program in 1997. This is the only recording I have of him. I saw his show one week later, but he was very subdued, and didn’t curse. Then I never saw him again. I should have recorded the subdued version of him, but unfortunately, I didn’t. I really don’t know anything about this guy. I’ve researched this on the internet, but have never found any information. I even called the number on the screen back in ‘97, but never got through. What can I say, the guy remains a mystery.
