Will you believe me when I tell you?
Yes, I would let them in. I'm of the belief that if it's my time to go, then I'll go.

Nope. I'm not a bigot..nor uppity.

Naive then.. Ok.
A perfect response by an uppity person.

I hardly see "uppity" as an insult.

Even if might be endangering other people--not just yourself?

I've never heard anyone here call Obama uppity. Others here have accused others of "thinking" that he's uppity. You really need to get your facts straight.
I might get hit by a car walking across the street. I'm not consumed by fear.
Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
There's always google there for you to enlighten yourself.

Yeah.. especially if you don't look to see if anything's coming, first...
Why don't you try that?

No, I don't think so. You may mean it like and insult, but since I think being "uppity" is a good thing, I don't take it that way.

Two of the reasons Jan Morgan has banned muslims from her shop: (the other 8 are in the link)
4) Two men walked in to my range last week with allah akbar ring tone and message alert tones on their smart phones. They spoke very little english, one did not have proof of U.S. citizenship, yet they wanted to rent and shoot guns. They were constantly glancing toward the cameras in the range, then looking at each other and speaking in their own language.
Their behavior was so strange, it frightened my patrons. No one would enter the range to shoot while they were there. Some of my customers left. I lost business and the people who remained at my facility said they did so out of fear for my safety.
(can you blame them?)
And
7) I understand that not all muslims are terrorists. I also believe there are as many Muslims who do not know what is in their Koran as there are Christians who do not know what is in their Bible. However, I hold adults accountable for the religion or organizations they align themselves with.

Avoiding the question, aren't you? I asked if you would allow them in even if you could be endangering other people--not just yourself.
I'm not dodging. It's apparent I would let them in because I wouldn't see a sign that they would endanger other people...unless I was a racist bigot.

I will own my snobbishness every day. I call it discerning. I w Morever, what you see as arrogance in my uppity attitude is merely confidence in a belief you are threatened by. To think that you disagree with me to the point that you think I am snobby and arrogant - is the height of compliment from you.
More of your naivete'. There are more definitions other than snobbish and arrogant for uppity. I think you fit all of them, too.

Okay, you're not a racial bigot. So you let in three known terrorists and one Christian minister. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know that, but your PC and non-bigotry just allowed three terrorists to sharpen their shooting skills at your place of business. Do you get it yet? I'm sure the flight school that trained the pilots for the 911 attacks had no idea either. And they certainly would have been called bigots if they had not allowed the pilots to train.
Does this come under profiling? Of course it does. But what is worse, profiling or contributing to terrorists? Just a thought.....
By the way, #2 is a Christian minister being held prisoner in Iran for being a Christian. Not that they're bigoted or anything.....
Now you and I are talking in circles too.
One more time.
I live my life. If, by some chance, the scenario you presented happened, then it happened. I'm not going to change who I am..my being..into some prejudiced bigot because I'm worried about something that is NOT likely to happen.
Life is too short.
