Every road through Shipler’s copy of Roget will lead inevitably back to “uppity,†no matter how circuitous the route may be.
Someone needs to establish a database, cataloging exactly how many degrees of uppity each word is.
Remember Uppity Hooper, the first minority cartoon frog to break into television?
“[W]hen his opponents branded [Obama] an elitist and an outsider, his race made it easier to drive a wedge between him and the white, rural voters he has courted.”
“Courted”. To overtly insult, to denigrate and besmirch the voters you need.
Ok! Listen up you repulsive Rethuglican racists! These are the words that that brand you with the original sin of your discrimination.
Redistribution: Obviously a connection to the transcendant irony of white plantation owners redistributing scarce resources on the backs of slaves. You should be ashamed even to think that word but we know better!
Racial Preferences: Oh, yeah! Fat chance coming from the the inventors and facilitators of racism. This phrase is verboten until you ‘Thugs spend 200 years picking cotton and getting lynched. Maybe if you vote for Obama you’ll get an indulgence but we will monitor your behavior to ensure no back slidding.
Niggardly: You RepubliKKKans sren’t that stupid, are you?
Conversation on Race: You bigots have no standing so STFU and listen and learn, Jimmy Crow.
Bitter: Oh, you mean like the taste of segregation? How about the smell of oppression? We’ve met bitterness and you, racist, don’t know the meaning.
Let’s make this short you hood wearing, noose weaving, fire hose priming Wallace pimpers: STFU! We’ll tell you how racist your words are and YOU’LL TAKE IT LIKE THE WEENIE MEN YOU ARE!!!11ELEVENTY!!11!!
Oh, this is easy.
All white people are racist. White people have only two choices … to continue in their obvious hateful racism by not embracing and voting for Obama, or to unpack their knapsack of white privilege and work to make sure Obama is elected no matter what. The latter doesn’t absolve or cure them of their whiteness, but such public pennace may earn a few Obamessiah dispensations (though, don’t expect anything from Michelle. She believes no white deserves a piece of pie)
Ha, Darleen! Great minds think alike!
“Not qualified by experience, temperament, character, or philosophy to be president”.
Esquimaux.
I’m wearing a hoodie right now.
I’m NOT wearing a…oh wait, wrong
threadwindow.I’m buying some hoodia right now?
BECAUSE OF THE SANDWICHES AND GRADUATE SCHOOL APPLICATIONS! BUT MOSTLY THE SANDWICHES!
My code word?
“Democrat”.
It’s like the Sioux word for “stranger”. Y’all have a fine one, back on Monday.
Fixed that for you.
Well played, McGehee
If Shipler thinks he’s helping Sen. Obama by condescending himself, then he seriously has another think coming. You’ve just given more people a reason to dislike Sen. Obama and vote against him – that reason being the secret joy that will be felt in many hearts when you cry your bitter, bitter tears of outrage and sorrow in November.
I cannot wait to taste those tears.
Um, I am a bit embarrassed to say that I seem to have misplaced my White Priviledge. Can any of you loan me some? My wife is gonna be pissed if I show up tonight without any.
I mean, it’s an election year and how am I going to steal this election from Black Jesus if I don’t have any White Priviledge?
My husband once brought home some organic soy privilege by mistake. He hasn’t heard the last about that one.
There’s a toll-free number you can call to get a replacement: 1-800-KEEP-THE-“OTHER”-DOWN
MeGehee: Damn you and your insightful brevity! :-)
Sgt Ted: I’m all out of white privilege but I have an extra tub of Semi-Brown and a Skein of Mullatto.
Does that help?
Isn’t Shipler’s choice of the word “courted” a coded reference to basketball revealing Shipler’s racist belief that African-American males should know “their place,” i.e., certain organized sports?
My Thesarus puts “Humble” with “subservient”, which also is synonymous with “slavish”.
Good Lord, I AM a racist after all!
I denounce all of you as rcists, just in case you forgot.
No, it’s gotta be White Priviledge. Darth Rove was specific.
*rolls down luxury car window*
Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon? And if you do, don’t share it with them, if you know what I mean.
“…the Kzinti originally had only two words to describe non-Kzin sophonts: ‘slave’ and ‘meat-that-talks’.”
— one of the “Man-Kzin Wars” authors
Seems to me the Kzin would have often seen the first category become the second.
“Ahh…, I’m beginning to get a tingle now.
So Spider Man is really Chris Matthews!
[…] This casts Obama as Julius Caesar, and ABC as Brutus, which is psychologically interesting in and of itself, as Brutus was the ”republican” who killed Caesar in order to thwart what he felt was his ambition to become Rome’s autocrat. Perhaps Feldman dislikes Brutus because of the association with the word, “republican”? No, I’m reading too much into it. […]
Rob: Nah, if you eat the slaves, you have to do the work yourself.
