You don't have to be a Negro to be an Uppity Negro, although it certainly helps.
The Uppity Negro not only speaks truth to power, they speak truth and self-serving lies and deny that the person they're addressing even has power to begin with.
The Uppity Negro challenges the validity of the hierarchies which lie at the heart of our supposedly egalitarian society.
But mostly, the Uppity Negro likes starting shit for the fun of it.
There's some people where, if they aren't pissed off at you, you must be doing something wrong.

The ugliness, on the other hand, is due to incompetence and laziness.
The date at the top of the front page bears little to no relation to the last time the page was updated. New content generally appears at the top, but might get stuck elsewhere to break up the monotony. Permalinks within the page would require trivial skilz and minimal effort -- see above about incompetence and laziness.
