And by the way …
I hadn’t heard the Glenn Beck “uppity” clip before. I literally nearly fell out of my chair and it was all I could do to not say something that probably would have gotten me in trouble. That word has got to be in the top two most offensive terms to use against black people. It’s an attempt to negate everything good or impressive or even competent that you’ve ever done, as if you have no right not to be worthless. Burns me up.
