5. Years ago NASCAR enlisted MTV to help update their image.
The MTV guy got the 'new' NASCAR spiel, was introduced to an African-American driver, etc etc.

Then they took the MTV reporter on a stroll through the parking lot before a race. One of the 'new' NASCAR fans looked directly into the camera and shouted 'no n****** in NASCAR!'

So much for that...

11. "uppity-ism"?...
they are not even trying to hide the racism any more. Why don't they get it over with and just say the word they are all thinking?

12. everyone I met and known that were NASCAR fans
were (and still are) obnoxiously bigoted, and they never attempted to hide their prejudices.

Watching cars go round in circles for hours on end must do something detrimental to their brain function. OTOH the IMSA crowd is more enlightened, I suppose. So it's not just watching the track.

13. A racist word used as a dog whistle for the morons who listen to him.
Michelle is still one of the most popular people in Washington I am sure.

17. "uppity" is more of a bullhorn than a dog whistle
You are right about her popularity.

From October 31: According to the Marist Poll released Monday, 63 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of Michelle Obama while 21 percent hold an unfavorable view of her. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/190757-michelle-obama-approval-remains-high-but-down-slightly-from-previous-months

15. does your university endorse limbaugh racism, misogyny , & global warming denial with their sports?
many universities endorse limbaugh racism, misogyny, global warming denial, OWS attacks by broadcasting their sports on those stations, which gives them credibility, community standing, and brings in ad money.

15 of 16 unis in the NCAA 2010 basketball finals endorse limbaugh by broadcasting on his stations.

they need to extract themselves from those associations or demand balanced programming and their mission statements require it.

students, faculty and communities need to get their unis out of right wing talk radio. the right wing radio monopoly that does the groundwork repetition for the 1% cannot stand university divestment.

22. Instead, you should lambaste the despicable "redneck" NASCAR fans who did such a fine job of
reinforcing the stereotype by booing the First Lady and Dr. Biden.

31.  Same all over
Jerks, boo birds, and shitheels everywhere. Throw in cheap beer and loud outdoor entertainment, and the percentage goes up. Not to mention, the First Ladies part came shortly after driver introductions, when the boo birds are cranked up from jeering their "favorites".

25. and the media won't ask Republicans to denounce him
they'll continue to flock to his show to kiss his ring and court the wingnut base, and face no p.r. consequences with the general electorate for doing so.

26. From the Urban Dictionary
uppity nigger

An out of place black person who is out of line and thinks they are as good as or better than the
white person they are standing next to.

Rush knows his listeners are racist and plays to that feeling.

27. Limbaugh says things like that on purpose.
He is not that stupid. He knows that incendiary comments drive the media crazy and get a laugh out of his listeners.

I don't know how anyone suffers through 3 hours of his show. His style is arrogant and bombastic. Aside from his politics, I find his personality annoying.

As for the booing, it was very mixed. I think that there were more cheers going on than boos.

:(

and some of those 'good old boy' nascar fans are a bunch of racists.
