If you're not aware, the phrase "moon cricket" is a derogatory term for African-Americans. It has long been one of my favorites, but I've searched high and low and never been able to find out how the term came into being.

I've searched Google, browsed various dictionaries, and asked everyone from a 1960's era ex-klansman to a negro who purported to be a NOI member how "moon cricket" came into being, but I have had no luck.

Can anyone help me?

Most of the better terms are self explanatory. Its pretty obvious what vine pilot, yard ape, knuckledragger, and porch monkey mean for example. But moon cricket? Hmm.
