I beg to differ with you on this one. My DH was raised in the South and he does not believe the word uppity is racist at all.

You know, it's funny, some of you find the word uppity to be racist, but, have no problem with someone calling the father of a child a "baby daddy". I certainly don't think that phrase is used in a complementary fashion.

I really do not get it all.
