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.  |
Oh, don't misunderstand--I *personally* do not find the word racist. Like so many things, it really depends on the context that it's used.
Kind of like "Angry black woman"
I actually took a 911 call where the caller described his assailant as "one big angry black woman". Of course, the other dispatcher was taking a call from the "angry black woman"! (skinny white boy hit voluptous, well endowed black woman's brand new car--yeah she was angry! She did actually assault the guy)
