There is a long history of the term “uppity negro” going back to slave days.
But I have seen my children acting “uppity”. Do you want to keep playing liberal’s language rules? You will always lose.
The fact is that there IS a negative connotation to the phrase Uppity Negro going back to the slave days.
However, Rush did not call her an Uppity Negro.
Her is actually what he said IN CONTEXT....
I’ll tell you something else. We don’t like paying millions of dollars for Mrs. Obama’s vacations. The NASCAR crowd doesn’t quite understand why when the husband and the wife are going to the same place, the first lady has to take her own Boeing 757 with family and kids and hangers-on four hours earlier than her husband, who will be on his 747. NASCAR people understand that’s a little bit of a waste. They understand it’s a little bit of uppity-ism. First ladies have not been known to hop their own 757s four hours ahead of their husband when they’re both going to the same place. The NASCAR people and the rest of the country are not so hip to 12- and 15-day vacations in Spain with 35 people along for the ride while they can’t get work, while they can’t get raises. While the price of gasoline is going up and the price of jet fuel and airline tickets, the Obamas are flying around like nothing costs them anything. Oh, it doesn’t. Sorry.
Yep my mama was after me being uppity. Kinda reminds me of Al Gore “You don’t have to get snippy about it”. Is uppity black and snippy white? or is one north and one south? PC is taking away good words.
