Calling Obama 'Professor' Is Palin Code for 'Uppity': Prof (Obama mentor: Palin is a racist)

(Newser) – When Sarah Palin told Tea Party activists last week that President Obama was "a professor of law standing at the lectern," she wasn't just tapping into populist anti-intellectualism—she was also making a not-so-subtle attack on the president's race. So says Harvard professor and longtime Obama pal Charles Ogletree, who tells Inside Higher Ed that calling Obama "the professor" is close to labeling him 'uppity.'"

Other slurs against Obama—left wing, socialist, palling around with terrorists—"were buzzwords. But the reality was they were looking at this president as an African American who was out of place,”

Obama and his worshipers are idiots.

It’s just all about race, all the time.

Obama and his worshipers are idiots.

Only if they really believe this stuff.

Otherwise, they're just cynical power-mongers.

But that is how you think when you always look at everything through race-tinged glasses.

He is uppity...

[Nachum]

Woman hater! Misogynist! Christian-hater! Bully! Wife beater! Serial mental rapist! Thug!

(give me time, I have to think of some more...)

Ah, the fruit of affirmative action at Harvard...

[Jim Robinson]

Oh, they believe it alright. They’re true believers in Marxism.

Obama is a professor because “community organizer” (communist agitator) is not a real job.

They called GW Bush “cowboy”.

[dadgum]

What? She should dispense with manners and call him what he really is? A narcissistic, marxist, racist, a$$hole, America-hating, anti-christian, one-world-order, empty-headed, do-nothing a$$wipe?

So says Harvard professor and longtime Obama pal Charles Ogletree, who tells Inside Higher Ed that calling Obama “the professor” is close to labeling him ‘uppity.’”

Calling someone “Professor” is now a racist term?

I swear! Liberalism is really, truly indeed a mental disorder. Rahmbo was right.

When I was in college, I had a summer job working in a factory and would occasionally read a book on my break. The other guys immediately nicknamed me “Professor”. I thought it was hilarious.

If I’d been as thin-skinned as Obama and his minions, I guess I could’ve sued for some kind of harassment. I thank God I’m not as big a jerk as they are.

Charles Ogletree needs to watch more Gilligan’s Island reruns. The professor is clearly the smartest one on the island and both of the hot chicks dig him.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Saying that Palin called Obama “uppity” is racist.

[DJ MacWoW]

It’s a backhanded slap since he was never a Professor, only a lecturer. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with being a liar.

[a fool in paradise]

PROFESSOR?

I think of him more as a Gilligan.

[Tennessee Nana]

I thought he was “a professor of law” at one time ???

[Scotsman will be Free]

“...Ogletree, who tells Inside Higher Ed that calling Obama “the professor” is close to labeling him ‘uppity.’””
Oh my word! Unbelievable. I guess the fool doesn’t understand the thought behind the statement as in “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach”.
