SHE’S AN “UPPITY NEGRO” JOURNALIST CLOWNS MICHELLE OBAMA
(blackmediaSCOOP) Now that’s just disrespectful! Christopher Knight writes for the “Culture Monster” a column at the L.A. Times, and guess what he sees when he looks at this political cartoon of First Lady Michelle Obama:
Believe it or not, Knight sees an “uppity Negro.” Those aren’t our words, they’re his:
“The caricature of Obama as a profligate queen relies on the racist stereotype of an “uppity Negro[.]“
Who other than someone with their own disturbing prejudices would look at that obvious piece of political satire hitting the First lady up for her excessive and lavish vacationing and think “uppity Negro”?

Naturally, though, like all bigoted leftists, Knight attempts to project his own troubling racial issues on others. The racist image appeared Tuesday on the right-wing blog Gateway Pundit; the slur was later called out by Media Matters for America.
The doctored painting also turned up in August 2010 on the right-wing Instapundit website, where it apparently originated.
Sorry, Mr, Knight, the only one flying the flag of bigotry here is you!
