GA-03: Keep Diggin', Lynn

Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland is standing by his statement that Barack Obama is "uppity," claiming that he has never heard of the term being used in a "racially derogatory sense."
"It is important to note that the dictionary definition of 'uppity' is 'affecting an air of inflated self-esteem - snobbish,'" Westmoreland said in a statement. "That's what we meant by uppity when we used it in the mill village where I grew up."

"I've never heard that term used in a racially derogatory sense," the Georgia Republican added.

The only way you could fail to instantly recognize "uppity" as racist is if racism is all you've ever known.

ring true at all!

Ever been to South Carolina? What state would actually proudly fly a Confederate flag over their state capitol if they truly didn't think that they were offending their sizable black population? Yikes.
