I gave $100 to the New York Republican Party three years ago. I’ve been receiving a swarm of email ever since. Today I received two emails from a group called Mamas for McCain. They gave me 10 places on the internet where I could post anti-obama messages. This was one of them. And they made several suggestions of hateful things I could say about Obama. I don’t like that sort of politics. McCain is a nice man. I am grateful for his service to our country (although I’m getting tired about constantly hearing about it). But McCain is not the best man for the job. McCain has voted with Bush 95% of the time, and he has voted with his party 90% of the time. I feel terrible that I voted for Bush four years ago. I will not make that mistake this year. I want a REAL change.

He was also quoted as saying that if you came to close to the Obama’s while they were eating chicken you may very well get your hand bitten off. And then he dropped it like it was hot. Endquote.

you just can’t win sometimes….now if Barak spoke slang and acted the way these uptight Southern White Men expect him to act then he would be too urban or too Black….if the best they can say is that “he’s too uppity” then I would say “YES WE CAN!!!” at the top of our lungs

I guess he would be “uppity” when your rooting for the Alaskan Igloo Trash and her icehoe daughter. Yeah, the Obama’s must look WAY up there to them. That’s okay darling. Keep striving and maybe one day you too can be a great individual.

HAA!…the pot calling the kettle “uppity”…smh

If they (R) win this election…I AM THROUGH with VOTING!!!

I know they asses have some cheap tricks up they sleeves.

BARACK the VOTE!! by any means necessary!!

Barack “Uppity” Obama President 2008!! Yes We Can!!

Even though, we are stepping our game up as a whole, don’t you love how they can make whatever remarks that they want, true or not, and it’s not racist, the minute Barack says anything, he can’t attack a war hero and he’s sexist against Palin..I can’t wait for this election to be over. I’m tried of listening to these “smart” white folks and their perceptions of us….

that was tired…..OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

Uppity? Is he serious? Like Chris Rock says, “Cracker ass cracker!!!”

Uppity is when you don’t know how many houses you have.

Uppity is when your wife’s earrings cost more than a house. Uppity is when her outfit cost most than most cars.

Uppity is when your new young wife can PAY your old, ugly fat wife a million dollars to divorce you so she could have you.

Uppity is when you think you are too good to even bus in any “negros” to your convention party.

Jurassic John, how come you didn’t ask Condi to speak?

How raciest, so if a black man makes it in the white mans world, he is uppity, Why didnt he just have the balls to go ahead and say, who does this n think he is,, running for president, he just needs to stay in his place… what effing nerve.. Can he just get away with this ish.

Soooo….Barack is uppity but McCain’s wife spent $300,000 total on one outfit?? And her deep-fried, bleach blonde ass and Bush’s wife wear $2-3,000 suits??

Dumb ass white folks. Always nitpicking when all they’ve got to flaunt is TRASH.

“Uppity”, White folks will find anything to hate on a Black person coming up in the world. But, if he was “Hood”, they would really have a problem.

Uppity, Elistist…code words for the new form of racism? Maybe, maybe not. But a way to paint Obama as “out of touch” and not “one of us” definitely. And who wants to be one of you? Listen Repubs…ya’ll can have the president “you can drink a beer with”. I’ll take the president who I can sit down and drink a glass of wine with and can carry on a intellectual conversation about a wide range of topics other than who can make the loudest caddle call or who can rope a chicken in 3.5 seconds flat and who can carve their likeness out of butter!

I guess what I’m saying is yea…with an job so important I want a person who has intelligence and judgment to make the correct decisions that wont put the country and earth in direr straits!

Deep south rednecks and Snow Mexicans go well together. Only a bona fide idiot would dare use the word “uppity” in a public setting in today’s political forum.

LOL! Real talk!

All I can say is the best way to fight this kind of ignorance/not so subtle racism is to donate to Barrack’s campaign, period. There’s no need to discuss anything else.

Forgive Mr. Westmoreland. He lives in Coweta, Georgia where they have more cows and pigs than people.

They’re so shook.

I mean i am soo disgusted. So when black people make it we uppity, siddity. Why, why can’t black folks make something of themselves? Why can’t the word successful be used?

Know why…cause a lot of these crackers, yeah i said it, still have the plantation mentality.

@me

you damn right. And if you don’t like it take your politically correct objective arse on over to Faux news. We’re they are well-balanced and join that no spin zone.

Just cuz the Barack man has more education and aspires to something higher in the poltitcal realm doesn’t make him uppity…

…but that’s how white folks see us if we aren’t 1)living at home with our momma’s, 2) have 5 baby momma’s, 3) have a layer of gold in our mouth’s, 4) collecting welfare and 5) driving around in hoopty’s with spinning rims and rap music blasting.

Damn shame…

That’s why I love the folks who comment on this site…Peepeye and Kevwebb…you are too damn funny; but so true!!!

@ Me, you obviously are misinformed, uninformed or chloroformed regarding the CONTINUOUS legacy of slavery and Jim Crow in America. The “uppity” statement is clearly a code phrase to say the Obama’s should stay in their respctive places. Also, you should have added your two cents to the thread, I’m assuming in defense of Palin, if you had anything to say.

By the way, you have, like others of your ilk, usurped yet another phrase from the culture you paradoxically despise, yet admire, which is the epitome of “haterade”.

I meant “respective”

I have never in my life heard of a presidential candidate having to explain why he is successful. I thought all presidential candidates were college educated. Now the rules have changed for the black candidate. He has to explain how he & his wife were both able to accomplish the American Dream without rapping, dancing, singing or playing ball.

Chris Rock said it best. A C-white student can become president of the U.S. just ask Bush. McCain & his running mate are just average students from average colleges with 1 average degree. The Clintons were never questioned about their high educational level. Obama has to explain his.

THEM CALLING HIM UPITTY OR ELITIST DO NOT BOTHER ME…

THAT’S OLD HAT. THEY BEEN USING THOSE KIND OF CODE WORDS FOR CENTURIES. ANY BLACK WHO DOES NOT “STAY IN THIER PLACE” GETS CALLED THOSE…

MY PROBLEM IS WHEN THEY THROW OUT SARCASTIC REMARKS ABOUT HIM BEING: THE MESSIAH, THE SECOND COMMING, PARTING THE WATERS, SAVING THE WORLD, PREACHING TO THE MASSES…

OBAMA NOR ANY OTHER DEM HAS CALLED HIM ANY OF THOSE!

THAT’S JUST THE HATEFUL REPUB’S STIRRING UP HATRED & RESENTMENT AMONG THIER BASE.

BUT IT MAKES THEM SAME REPUB’S LOOK SO EVIL IN THE PROCESS!!!

Thats hunky/redneck, intimadated white folk call a well spoken black man. If Obama is uppity than I dont know what the REAL uppity people are

tmh

im only using the wordage of above… i figured it’d be the best way to get my point across… and im neither misinformed nor uninformed..

But iam wise to the hypocrites on this site.. who in one breath can call someone a cracker and the next get pissed cause someone says “uppity”..

you see, you can’t have it both ways..

so i believe it is you who is the uninformed one…

This is why every Black person should, if you haven’t already,

1. Get a higher education-Degrees-Degrees-Degrees!

2. Move out of the hood…and move next door to them.

3. Invest in stock.

4. Own property/houses. Not just the one you live on/in.

5. Give to charity.

6. Own your own business.

So, they can continue to hate and call somebody “Uppity”. Becuz they want you below them and that is not an option!

Actually, there are black republicans and many that were even at the convention. They even had a *GASP* black speaker at the convention!

hmmm, the sheep here wouldn’t understand it. If they saw them guaranteed they would be called sellouts.

I find the so called outrage of the kool aid crowd to Be Strange. Where was such outrage last week when your own Jackass party hero, Jimmy Carter called Obama a “boy” in a interview??

He was also quoted as saying that if you came to close to the Obama’s while they were eating chicken you may very well get your hand bitten off. And then he dropped it like it was hot. Endquote.

But you know that when we move in, they move out right?

This is a sign that these racist white people are losing it and are grasping at straws to maintain control of the White House. We should take this as a compliment. “Thank you”

@chaka1 you are basically an idiot. You don’t think the whites in the democratic party don’t think the same thing?

@Ms. Philly

Yep, u know it. They hate to see us coming.

@Everybody,

Please read Newbagbcoupe comment @ 1:01pm. Tiger, James, Me and Hmmmm are planted here by the Republicans….don’t fall for they’re lies. Ignore there comments and I’m sure they will crawl back under the rocks that they belong.

@ Me, the misinformed, uninformed… speaks to your lack of understanding as to why Black people are so offended, and justifiably so, at the “uppity” comment. I used no derogatory language to describe anyone, yet you said “F*CKING HYPOCRITES.. all of you..”, which would include me. Apparently, you were trying to point out some double standard, which you perceive because of the name calling. There is a legitimate double standard, although I don’t condone it, which is racism versus prejudice/bias/bigotry. Blacks in America can never be racist, but they can, however, be prejudiced, etc. It’s a sociological fact. As such, the negative descriptive words and phrases have a different societal effect. I don’t have the time, or inclination, to expound upon it, but in short, while I believe that everyone should refrain from such comments, when the comments come from the dominant culture, just know that it is more damaging. Blacks intuitively know this, and by implication, some feel that it’s ok to take pot-shots and whites.

@ Ms. Philly: Same thing happens to me: I move to the hood, people move away, the property value goes down… Actually that happens when I get in line at the grocery store.

I meant ” at whites”

I cleared out a whole Public Enemy concert once.

And you don’t think that blacks hold a certain stereotype for whites? Racism is all around us but it goes both ways.

Actually, I meant to say racial prejudice instead of “racism”.

hmmm

And you don’t think that blacks hold a certain stereotype for whites? Racism is all around us but it goes both ways.

______________________________________________

No we don’t. We’re just about perfect in that sense. We’re not racists because it’s impossible for blacks to be racists and I have that on very good authority. Don Imus told me so his very own self!!

Lighten up dude, this is a gossip site with your fellow human beings. I, too would be a Republican if they would slide me a little cash. At the moment, $50.00 would set me free. I could get some gas for my Nellie and a little chow for my belly and a little likker to be quicker and I would be set for a great weekend. Got an extra $50.00 hanging around that you would like to donate to a worthwhile charity……..Little Ole Me……..LOL!!

I guess it takes one to know one huh!!!

This is why every Black person should, if you haven’t already,

6. Own your own business.

I’m going to start an online business selling those Confederate kinis!! Them things are gonna be really hot when Sarah Palin gets into office.

@Oshie- I know you are trying to be funny, but you’re not…This issue is not really so big, but when you put it in the overall context of things, it does seem to magnify the fact, that the majority of our White Americans, can’t stand when Blacks do better, than them..That’s a problem, because we are not going to remain in the state of confusion that we are…if you look around, black kids (across the nation), it’s cool to learn and be successful. Barack has already changed the landscape of politics, no matter what the outcome of this election…Failure is not an option…OBAMA/ BIDEN 08…

@peepeye

Actually I don’t because i am a single mother who works for $7.35 an hour. So no I don’t have $50 for you to borrow and it’s simple minded people like you that continue to make tension between whites and blacks an issue. So have fun spreading your hatred. You’re just as bad as the Nazis,KKK, and white supremicists everywhere. Remember the your boy Obama is from a white mother and a black father. Grow up!

I have come to the conclusion that the republicans couldn’t even spell the word “Uppity”. They are so jealous of this man’s intelligence and ability to articulate and hold the attention of masses of people. They have real personal issues to many to mention (any time you can be persuaded by bullsh**t and manipulation tactics something is definitely wrong). Hell, stimulate my intellect. They have taken all of Obama’s concepts and slogans yet don’t even sound convincing. And let’s not forget that they talk about Obama being elitist and uppity, hell, they are the ones who call themselves conservatives. What’s the problem They can’t live up to your name?

hmmm(Check me out!)

I didn’t ask to borrow $50.00 I asked for a donation to a favorite charity to LOM (Little Ole Me). Surely, you have an extra $50.00 just lying around with nothing to do.

I’m not hating or spreading hatred. I just wish you had a better sense of humor. Maybe if I sent you $50.00 you’d feel better. It was a joke, sweetheart and I’m sorry if I offended. However, you’re being paid big bucks; I used to make $1.65 an hour working in a nursing home. No lie.

We are all in the same boat together, we sink or swim together.

uppity? The Obama’s are more down to earth and intelligent than any other policitian that we’ve seen in a long time.

I want everyone to search why Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican. Click on the link for the National Black Republican Association and read the article. It is very interesting.

This is just another instance of subliminal prejudice. Whenever an african american shows intelligence and self-confidence they are considered uppity by society. It’s ok for a caucasian person to be educated and self-confident, because that is how they believe it should be. But, let an african american show intelligence and self-confidence and they are uppity, because (as they feel) it should not be that way. It’s not about money as you never hear anyine describe african american athletes or entertainers as uppity. It is only when we rise to a position of power through our intellect that we become uppity because we challenge their authority.

Puccihole go suck out yu Madda! You people are called progressive, professional and socialites when you move to the top. On the other hand, we are considered, uppity; when we strive for the same things in life.

“You people are called progressive, professional and socialites when you move to the top. On the other hand, we are considered, uppity; when we strive for the same things in life.”

Exactly @ Deano!!! You also define you as having “an attitude problem” if you don’t bow down to them and allow them to keep believing that they’re better than you. Trust me!! Hold your head up when you walk into any establishment where “they” think you shouldn’t be, or don’t belong. You can feel the tension and the hate… especially if you keep your head up and maintain your cool. They’d prefer to burn your ass to a stake, than let you order one (a steak)!! LOL!! Po’ ignorant thinking fools!!!

@ Takealook – I took a look and found that the page you referred us to was full of factual errors. Martin Luther King Jr. was not a republican. If you’ve read his autobiography, then you know that because of his goal to achieve Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity for all, he knew that it would take working across political lines and remainng neutral on things that were not condusive to reaching this goal. In his book “A Measure of a Man” he wrote that as a clergyman well as an activist and had to use all of the weapons in his aresenal at times which caused him to remain neutral. There is no record of him voting for Kennedy but the relationship he had with the Kennedy was a tenuative one, however he was said to have worked very closely and well with LBJ, who signed the civil rights act into law. We was a classic independent and did not affiliate with either political party. Just ask his children. Martin Luther King Sr. wrote in his autobiography that HE was @ one time a registered republican, but after the Kennedy’s help procure the relesae of his son, he thanked them and started to lean more to the left. It was after Nixon won the white house that King Sr. changed his party affliation to the democratic party and stayed with that party until his death in 1984.

*Typo “THEY also define you…
