155. Did you READ what I wrote, or couldn't you get past

the word "uppity". There is a difference between Obama and Powell. Powell is seen as working his way up the ranks, Obama is seen as someone who was given (affirmative action) his way up. I think that is why so many people both repub and dem had a respect for Powell. I don't see that respect for Obama. I live in a working class, inner city, mixed neighborhood, and this is what I am hearing. And, uppity is a word that I am hearing from black people, not white. And, I'm not quoting the whole term as there is a "n" word in there, and "he won't do s... for us".
