Georgia Congressman calls the Obamas "uppity" |
|
Stay classy, Rethugs! http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?docID=news-000002944263On a related note, Lynn Westmoreland is the same asshat who went on Stephen Colbert's show a while back, preaching about how the Ten Commandments should be installed on public property, and got skewered when he couldn't name more than one or two commandments.

The closer we get to November, the more the lily white fundies start to panic.

6. It's even an embarrassingly wrong usage. |

No one "thinks they're 'uppity'." At worst, the Obamas themselves might think they're upwardly mobile--which is supposed to be a Republican GOOD QUALITY, right - you take the opportunities you have and you work hard and you'll succeed, right?
No, "uppity" is only a word you call someone else. Someone who has ambitions beyond the place YOU think THEY ought to have.
It's what working-class redneck kids call other working-class redneck kids who actually willingly read books and finish high school.
It's what angry, vengeful, insecure men call their soon-to-be-ex-wives--right before they shoot that woman and their children.
It's, as we all know, what a certain strain of white people call people of other ethnic groups who don't settle for the servant class.
Hi, I'm Withywindle, and I "think I'm uppity" because I got a scholarship to college. :hi: Doesn't make sense, does it?
Racist AND illiterate. Nice. But I must be "uppity" to notice that.
