>Who are the ones calling out this oh-so-horrible travesty of racial reconciliation? That's right, the "politically correct," the ones who believe in affirmative action, the ones who think we have to "do something," even if that something does more harm than good.

So you think that if the government does nothing, the problem will go away? And why do you think that affirmative action does more harm than good?

>There is no racial meaning behing the word "uppity." None whatsoever. Anyone who believes otherwise is playing the race card.

Complete crap. There's at least a century of loading into the term.

>"Silence the opposition," the 2nd rule of partisan politics.

Whatever. Asking someone not to use a word like "uppity" because it's usually used to describe a black person negatively is not "silencing the opposition."
