Miss Thang Tee

A sarcastic term for haughty, puffed-up women (especially women of color) who think that they are really something when, in fact, they are not. Detroit Councilwoman Monica Conyers, of YouTube fame, is their 2008 national poster child. Quintessential traits: 1. Regardless of economic status, Miss Thang possesses an obnoxious personality (she is loud and rude). PRIDE blinds her from seeing how repugnant she is to the rest of society. 2. She often experiences an inner conflict when complying with people in authority (especially men), or obeying laws that she considers "wrong." Complying with societal norms can also rub her the wrong way. 3. Miss Thang demands respect (while simultaneously treating people disrespectfully). 4. She lives life with a chip on her shoulder and, like radical Muslims, makes a freewill choice to be offended about practically everything. (If, however, she did her Miss Thang routine in the Magic Kingdom she would be made to wear a pup tent, and then given a Muslim haircut the following Friday). 5. Those who engage Miss Thang in discussions/debates quickly discover that she gives no deference to logic or the actual facts--she just wants to win. Rather than be pinned down with the truth (and concede a point), she constantly changes the subject, resorts to personal attacks, or proffers conspiracy theories with no supporting evidence. 6. Miss Thang wants things her way. As such, she often uses illegitimate means such as manipulation, intimidation and/or domination to achieve her goals. She is not to be confused with the concept of a "strong woman"--strong women are not automatically unpleasant (e.g. Lady Margaret Thatcher) but Miss Thang is. >>>>> Like other aberrant personalities in American society, Miss Thang comes in two basic forms: rich and poor. "Poor Miss Thang" has grand dreams of getting rich by winning the lottery, or catching herself a wealthy man via overt sex acts. Though she may not have enough money to pay her bills, she amazingly finds the cash to get her nails done and buy cigarettes and/or wine coolers. She is sometimes known by other names such as: "trailer trash", "puta", "ho" or "loud-mouthed skank." Since the ideas of initiative and diligent work are anathema to her, Poor Miss Thang often develops hatred for those people better off than she. Ironically, these are the same people whose taxes pay for her food stamps and/or welfare and/or rental assistance and/or day care and/or job training and/or educational assistance and/or FEMA debit card and/or earned income credit, etc. One of her dreams is to appear as a guest on "The Jerry Springer Show" and take on the whole audience in a shouting match. Depending on her race, her idols may include: Omarosa Stallworth, Roseanne Barr, communist agitator Dolores Huerta, and any skank that has had 20 or more unsuccessful paternity tests conducted on "Maury." "Rich Miss Thang" is better groomed than her poor counterpart, and often wears overpriced clothing to prove it. She likes to show off her nice car, jewelry and other material prosperity in the hope that it will force people to respect her. Respect, of course, is earned but Rich Miss Thang thinks she is owed it for merely being rich and/or a minority and/or a woman, and having overcome obstacles to success in our current day "racist, sexist America." While Poor Miss Thang is highly pretentious, Rich Miss Thang's level is off the chart. If she possesses a college degree or, (God help us) and advanced degree, the pretension exhibited increases exponentially. Using the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan as a model, she often speaks as grand and lofty as possible in an effort to patronize those listening. Rich Miss Thang may pronounce aunt as "ont" or refer to black debutantes as "Nuuuuubian princesses." It's all very contrived. One of Rich Miss Thang's dreams is to achieve high political office. Once elected, the space between her and a TV camera is a very dangerous place for pedestrians and small children. Depending on her race, her idols may include: former Congresswoman Cynthia Mc Kinney (D-GA.), the late feminazi leader Eleanor Smeal, the late author Valerie Solanas, and (secretly) any skank that has had 20 or more unsuccessful paternity tests conducted on "Maury." Rich Miss Thang often has a knee-jerk reaction to people of differing races and, if black, plays the race card with abandon. She is an enemy of peace and reconciliation because she finds it needful to continually pick at the scabs of past historical wounds. In addition, she rejoices when normal, well-adjusted female students have their minds polluted with HATRED thinly disguised as: "Women's Studies", "Hispanic/Chicano or Latino Studies", "African-American or Black Studies", and "Feminist/Lesbian Studies." Miss Thang points out that "hate has to be taught" when bashing white racist groups. That's true. Ironically though, when SHE teaches hate, she feels justified because she is merely "righting" the wrongs of the past, or because America supposedly "owes" her. (It doesn’t). These are both bogus excuses for stirring up strife and division, and it just goes to show that some people have way too much time on their hands. Stop trying to impress us Miss Thang, because actions speak louder than words.
