Since when is the word "uppity" racist? That is just dumb, frankly.

@Dianne93101 If you dont think that word has racial connotations youre just mistaken.
Jake Tapperr can read Rush’s mind now, even though Rush didn’t even say what he said he did. Maybe he should listen to the show instead of getting his information from David Brock.

There is a long history of the term “uppity negro” going back to slave days.

You’re right, he DID say it.
And the first thought I had after he said was, “Oh, boy...we’re going to hear the race card played tomorrow!”
I was wrong. It didn’t take that long.

Limbaugh might not know the buzz words of the civil rights movment - but he’s NOT a racist. The folks who want to brand him that way are wrong...

No Rush never said ‘uppity’. I guess he’ll just have to play the clip tomorrow.

Limbaugh is completely wrong about this. They weren’t booing Michele Obama, they were booing Barack Obama. But I’m sure the media would like you to think they were booing Michele. That’s harder to defend.
To: Chasaway
I am surprised that ABC is the one that started it. I guess Jesse Jackson didn't know about yet.
Can't wait to hear Sheila Jackson Lee foaming at the mouth.
Let's face facts. Michelle Obama is Uppity. Her race has nothing to do with it. She is on an outrageous spending spree and she can't even put her hand over her heart.

“Since when is the word “uppity” racist? That is just dumb, frankly.”
It has a long history in the South—”uppity n****r”. It was an unfortunate choice of words by Limbaugh.
To: RummyChick
Up here in the north, there were two words you learned not to use” Uppity, and belligerent. Both of them would get you bitch-slapped on the bus.

On another thread I wondered aloud ... WHY would they book them at a NASCAR race? They had to anticipate that it might not go well...
...but knowing that ... it’s the perfect opportunity (and the left-wing bloggers are already in “high gear”) to say, “Those rednecks are so disrespectful! The first lady is there for the soldiers!”

I love using the word "uppity". I love it even more when some know-nothing liberal Commie jacka** tries to accuse me of racism because I used it, because then I get to whip out a dictionary and show them that the word means, in a nutshell, "stuck up". Then I get to ask them who the racist is...the guy with a good vocabulary or the dipstick lib who flunked 9th grade English?
I hope Rush does the same tomorrow.

Moose-shell showing up at a NASCAR event and expecting love from the crowd was the equivalent of Jeff Foxworthy appearing at the Apollo or Harlem Uptown Comedy Club and telling his favorite “You might be a redneck” jokes.
He would have been boo’d off-stage, so he would never do that. You gotta know your audience babe.
Hey Mickey—next, why don’t you head down to Branson, MO and give lectures on healthy eating. You could open for Yo Ma Ma, the fiddle player, Yakov Smirnoff, the Baldknobbers and Andy Williams.
