Obama & "Uppity"

Dis-fucking-gusting comment by Georgia Rethuglican L Westmoreland.

If I was in Obama's shoes, I'd be tempted to respond "Yeah, this 'boy' is 'uppity' - I dare to run for president! Does that have your lilly white knickers in a twist? Good!!"

It's just like those people who called Hillary a "bitch" and "ball breaker", but excoriated her for "standing by her man".

BTW, I think it's only fair to judge Sarah Palin and her family by Sarah Palin's own standards that she, and those like her, would impose by law on the rest of us. Bed, made, lie.

Unbelievable that someone running for re election would use a word like "uppity" these days and then say that he's only using the strict dictionary definition. He knew it was a racial slur when he said it and that's what he meant to say.

As far as Palin, I'd like to have about 5 minutes with her. In front of a camera. "You say you advocate abstinence only education for teens and no birthcontrol. How's that working for you now?" "You think it's a good thing to hunt wolves and bears from planes. Could I hunt you from a plane?"

Color me uppity

Gee, I am officially uppity, myself. That's because, when I got a very bad review at a former job, I asked my boss what was wrong with my work. His reply was "You're an uppity white bitch, and I don't like your style." (BTW, I was at that job far longer than he was. Us uppity people have ways of dealing with those who don't like our style.)
