Yup, those Obamas are sure "uppity."

The last census has the GA 3rd District at 40% black. Wonder how many of them are "uppity."

I f*cking HATE that word.

Ask me why.

Oh wait...I know why.

Because it usually refers to moi.

Bastiches.

finding out it was Westmoreland - who was a judge who presided over my custody case ? it doesn't surprise me one iota. Still sad.

and the comments of the assholes insisting that "uppity" is not a racial slur and people need to "get over their past"?

HOLY FUCK.

Shit the definition given by the dictionary itself presents quite a case for run-of-the-mill insult-from-hell even without the racial tinge. The Obamas are well off. So where's the self-deprecation justified? Where's the "false" or "overblown" self-esteem? I'd wager they have earned the right to be as elite or self-satisfied as anyone moneybags republican.
Except funny difference? The Obamas are black.
Hmmmm

I am really finding it hard to believe that even the Repugs went there.
