His language is a pretty good indication that what he said was
innocent. He said "...individual that thinks that they're
uppity." Ignoring the multiple grammar and usage errors, he is
clearly using the word in a way that one would use "too good for the
rest of us", because a black person would not think of himself as
"uppity", unless he was being sly.

Just for fun, let's fix his sentence for him so that it reads like
standard English.

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama,
they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that
they're uppity."

Corrected:

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama,
they're members of an elitist-class who think they're better than us."

Whew! That feller could stand some schoolin'!
