Warning to white folks: Criticizing “uppity” Negros is not allowed!
This from Stop the ACLU
Sphere: Related ContentThere is a fevered article in the LA Times by a David Shipler which makes great efforts to “reinterpret” things that whites say about Obama. It is like so much other Leftist drivel that I was not initially going to comment on it. I see, however, that Taranto thought it interesting enough to comment on so I thought I might take a few moments to point out the glaring weakness in Shipler’s thinking. Take the following excerpt:
“But when his opponents branded him an elitist and an outsider, his race made it easier to drive a wedge between him and the white, rural voters he has courted.
As an African American, he was supposedly looking down from a place he didn’t belong and looking in from a distance he could not cross. This could not happen as dramatically were it not for embedded racial attitudes. “Elitist” is another word for “arrogant,” which is another word for “uppity,” that old calumny applied to blacks who stood up for themselves.

Wow.
And here, I thought I was pissed at some rich snob in San Francisco for calling Working Class America (and, by extension, Me) a bunch of Gun-Toting, Bible-Thumping Bigots.
That was most distrubing, really - I’m SO relieved to learn that I was only pissed because I’m a Gun-Toting, Bible-Thumping Bigot.
Whew!

Funny, I’ve been thinking that very thing!
In the words of a guest-pastor of days-gone-by: “Where you be at?” - I’m in Denver.
Drop me a line.
