Rep. Lynn Westmoreland called Sen. Obama "Uppity."
Barack Obama and Joseph Biden and Rev. Al Sharpton and Oprah Fucking Winfrey everyone else who cares about civil rights in Amreica should fly down to Georgia within the next couple of days and ask Rep. Westmoreland to show up to a debate to discuss the question:
Is it "uppity" for an Afircan American to run for President of the United States of America?
Oh, and they should also invite Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain.
Imagine if Rep. Polosi had called Gov. Sarah Palin a "cunt."
Imagine if Rep. XXXX had called her worse.
"Uppity" has a long history in the denigration of African Americans in society. I would cite to Wikipedia definitions of "uppity" but you all can look that up yourselves.
The point is: why not make this the #1 campaign issue? See what John McCain, Mr. anti-MLK holiday, has to say about Rep. Westmoreland?
Was it wrong to call him uppity?
Ask the media; is it wrong to call Sen. Obama "uppity" for running for President?
What does Sarah Palin think about that term?
