Reclaiming the word UPPITY

 I would like to take a moment to reclaim the word UPPITY.

There is nothing wrong with a man or woman being Uppity. It is a positive word. It means they are ambitious and doesn't want to be pushed down (into the gutters).

There is nothing wrong with a man being ambitious. There is nothing wrong with a woman being ambitious. Being Uppity is a good thing because it means you want to accomplish things.

Uppity people scaled Mount Everest.

Uppity people went to the moon.

Uppity people enter politics.

Uppity people cure diseases.

Uppity people become doctors, scientists, engineers and work to make the world a better place.

Uppity people can still make food in the kitchen when they choose to and raise kids if they want to. There is nothing holding them back because they're the type of people who see POSSIBILITIES instead of closed doors.

Being Uppity is Awesome.

So the next time you hear someone call another person Uppity, you should clap and congratulate the Uppity person on being called such a fine compliment.

We need to be encouraging people to be Uppity.

Uppity people will be the first colonize Mars and explore beyond our solar system. That isn't a bad thing. That is so freaking awesome you will be telling your grandchildren about the day it first happened, when a handful of Uppity people said "Lets do this!" and then they accomplished something amazing that all of mankind can share in.

Always remember: Be Uppity and you will Accomplish Amazing Things.
