    In the most basic form "uppity negro" is a Black man/woman who loves ANYTHING other than working from sunup to sundown. Sport, culture, etc.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/854018603074674688 …

        And given that golf courses were exclusively the territory of rich, white men, Obama's presence there stoked a lot of hatred.

        Yes, @ShaunKing, you absolutely nailed it. No one cared when Bill Clinton golfed. They cared when Obama dared to replicate white privilege.

        Would the wrong kind of work also count as uppity?

        Have to find way to counter their issues. Blks can't solve white folks inner illness. Blks got their own healing to do.

        They frequently masked their disdain by calling Obama "elitest" when they really meant "uppity."
