Atlanta Congressman Calls Obamas ‘Uppity’?
A Republican ( COURSES) congressman from Georgia who referred to Barack and Michelle Obama as “uppity” says he wasn’t aware of the term’s racial overtones and did not intend to insult anyone
Do you consider the word ‘uppity’ offensive?
Yes
No
i just want to know why just the Georgia congressman do it…
Geaorgia’s Congressman’s
Having lived in the South for a number of years, I can say that “Uppity” is a word that racists use when speaking about a black person they feel is “trying to act like a white person”. For this Congressman from Georgia to say that he wasn’t aware of the term’s racial overtones is BS.
