  • What's another word for a black man being "elitist?"

    I could be wrong, but it seems to me that if you call a black man from a fairly tumultuous, and not particularly well bred background "elitist," you are using that word because you don't want to be accused of using the word "uppity,," but "uppity" is what you mean, and "uppity" is what you hope other people will think. I don't have to mention what word generally follows "uppity."
