Doo-Dah

Today's "Yeah, that'll work"

SCENE: Over cocktails with Fatimah Ali, uppity Negress Debby Douglas discovers a shared notion. Our fear of a no-name enigma as president, whose  records have been shredded, whose nearest and dearest friends are Communists, Marxists, Crooks, and American hating racists, is in reality hatred for uppity Negroes. “ Blame deep-seated racism if Obama loses DEBORAH DOUGLAS ddouglas@suntimes.com Pssst! I have a not-so-secret to tell you: America is no place for uppity black folks. At least that's what I've been finding out lately. Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia actually used this dated word, which means a black person -- usually striving to get educated and live a better life -- who doesn't know her place: "Just from what little I've seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity." Another Georgian, Rick Goddard, invoked it too: "Last night, Newt Gingrich disarmed a very uppity newscaster who tried to question him on the capabilities and leadership of Gov. Palin," the retired Air Force general said about a black journalist. This sentiment isn't limited to grass-chewing Southerners, considering a recent AP-Stanford University poll that validates what I've suspected: If Barack Obama doesn't win in November, we can blame racism. blah-blah-blah ” What's the purpose of this racial conceit?  Is Debby trying to win over the ½% of Blacks who are not voting for the HIM? The self-loathing white Liberals who are responsible for this lightweight from Kenya?  Who?  The white undecided voter?  Yeah, that works. Jackie Kennedy ushered in a national awareness of the joy of $5000 Oleg Casini gowns and French tapestries. Michelle Obama will, evidently, counter with the thrill of seething, race-baiting urbane Black women run amok.  Doo-dah.
