I did not mean to imply you......my apology
No apology necessary. I was only kidding about our earlier discussion anyway.
I gave my "definition of the word earlier, but I would agree that it is pretty close to this one. I said that it refers to people of color that have the gall to speak their mind and that it was used by white people who considered themselves better than people of color.
I don't know about that... I hadn't heard that word, except for in old, very old, movies since my grandmother passed away in the late 70's. My grandmother was raised in the South and as much as I love(d) her, she sure as heck wasn't perfect and that is as far as I am willing to go with that statement.
Well, first off, about the expenditure of public funds. I would like to see all unnecessary expenditures of public funds stopped. I believe that we are digging too deep of a hole of debt and think it needs to stop.
Second, the President needs a "vacation". He doesn't get one, but he needs personal time. His spending it in Hawaii doesn't bother me one iota. Staying at a $4k/night bungaloo? Hey well, he is the President. They need to keep him safe and a Motel 6 is not a safe place for the President of the United States of America.
Finally, threatened by a black President? Quite honestly, when they threw his hat in the ring, I was thrilled to death. Damn! I hope my grandmother isn't reading this. Anyway, I was thrilled. I didn't know a whole lot about him, but I thought finally a man of color with a chance to win. This can only be a good thing. From that time on, many things about me changed. Namely, I became so sickened by politicians and the political parties that I refused to vote for either party.
I am absolutely not thrilled with the policies of the Democratic Party today, but I would not be thrilled with Republican Party policies either. Everyone knows I despise the healthcare bills that are about to become law. I think there are so many bad things about it, but I realize that something must be done.
I don't see this President as "uppity". But, I do see him as being an elitist basically because he is a politician and to me politicians rank just below the level of the Ebola virus on the popularity scale.
Here now...I've been informed by some very high up, well connected Right wing posters that the term "uppity" is a totally acceptable term.
Acceptable? To whom?
Anyone, who uses the term "uppity" in the manner of applying it as it was meant, is not only lacking in intelligence, but also a racist.
