The "U" Word…
You might want to add “uppity” to the list of racially insensitive words. Georgia Congressman Lynn Westmoreland is in hot water for calling Senator Barack Obama and his wife the “u” word.
Democrats are demanding the Republican apologize, according to the Associated Press. Apparently, the word is a derogatory term describing minorities seeking equal treatment.
The dictionary defines the “u” word as someone who is haughty, snobbish or has inflated self-esteem.
Congressman Westmoreland used the word while describing the pair as part of an “elitist class.”
The “e” word is still permissible — for now.
You have got to be kidding? Now calling someone uppity is racist? I guess down here in the south our grandparents didn’t know that when I was a little kid I remember adults telling us when we were being smart mouthed not to be uppity or we would “get it”.
Idiots. Uppity Idiots.
can say anything that "they" dont like without being racist. Why such a double standard We are about to confirm a superme court judge that will shape laws for years maybe decades that has showed by previse rulings that she can be preseive as rasicts but we just sweep that under the rug
