Yep. The power of Twitter has been shown time and time again. What sparked that comment this time? Well, this happened:

[fatnotlazy]

Uppity

Sounds racist to me.

[Reno89519]

Just a little racism.

[Cowboy Bob]

Does the New Yorker also consider Negros to be uppity, or just Hispanics?

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

What’s the implication here, is that term the exclusive domain of some victim class?

[Kartographer]

To the liberal elites and the GOPe types all true Conservatives are ‘uppity’.

“What’s the implication here, is that term the exclusive domain of some victim class?”

I was thinking the same thing. However the fact they have a guilty conscience about it, enough to erase the comment, means that is the connection in their mind.

[Politicalkiddo]

Incredibly racist. I say we go loot that paper.

[longfellow]

The NY Times called him nappy headed.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Just “white Hispanics”.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I prefer when MSNBC called us “ oogity boogity”.

Better skip the break room as it is likely only stocked with veggies, nothing real to eat.

I imagine there's more than a few freepers who are younger & may not realize how in previous generations (baby boomers or older) someone might reference a more prominent minority as an "uppity xxxxxxxxxx" (fill in the blank). IoW, in their little mind, such a minority failed to be beholden to their supposed "assigned" socioethnic "placement" within society.

If any conservative had applied this adjective to a minority, it'd be front page news for weeks & months.

[DemforBush]

Scrub all you like, libbies. It’s much too late now...

[Pelham]

“Does the New Yorker also consider Negros to be uppity, or just Hispanics?”

The consider any conservative challenging our liberal overlords to be uppity.

[austinaero]

Nice! Shows the libs indeed will be stung if we use the race card on them.

My how the tables have turned.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

They should be relentlessly and mercilessly pressured to explain exactly why they deleted that term. Although he isn’t known for being much a Tweeter, I would nominate Al Sharpton to lead the questioning.

[grania]

Just a little racism

Gotta' keep those hispanics on the plantation.

TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT !!!

“Incredibly racist. I say we go loot that paper”

ROFL.

[Politicalkiddo]

I’m pretty young, but I’ve read a lot and I’m familiar with that appellation and its meaning when applied to “minorities”.
