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.

Topless Protester cuts down Cross in Kiev
On the day of sentencing for the feminist music band Pussy Riot, imprisoned for having a guerrilla concert on church property and demanding the Russian church stop supporting the dictatorship of Vladimir Putin, the women's group FEMEN decided to have its own show of solidarity...
By having a topless protester cutting down a cross with a chainsaw in the Russian city of Kiev.
FEMEN are demanding the church stop supporting the dictatorship of Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile Putin and Putin supporters are passing new laws which inhibit free speech and allows the government to arrest dissidents.
FEMEN is actually an Ukrainian feminist group. They posted a video online showing a topless blond FEMEN protester wearing red shorts, with the words “Free Riot” scrawled across her chest and arms, cutting the cross with a chainsaw and then pulling it down using a rope pulled by two other activists, and then posing with her arms extended crucifix-style.
You can see the video and many other FEMEN videos at http://vimeo.com/user4967407
A lot of their videos utilize breast baring in an effort to get the attention of the media and have gained notoriety in both the Ukraine and other countries for their brazen acts.
“By this act, Femen is calling on all the healthy forces of our society to mercilessly cut out of our brains the rotten religious prejudices which dictatorships rely upon and which prevent the development of democracy and women’s freedom,” the activists are quoted as saying.
The activists warned Russian President (turned-dictator) Vladimir Putin and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia that they would “turn the blade of our chainsaw” against those “responsible for the suffering of innocent women” if the Pussy Riot members are jailed.
Three Pussy Riot participants – Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30 – have been charged with hooliganism over their protest in Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior on February 26, during which they performed a musical “punk prayer” calling on the Virgin Mary to “drive Putin out.”
If it had been anyone else they were mocking they probably would have got a slap on the wrist. But because Putin is cracking down on dissidents the Russian government decided to send a message to protesters by jailing them.
The verdict in the controversial trial, which has been condemned by Russian and international rights groups, led to the Russian musicians ti being imprisoned for 2 years. A hefty sentence for a minor protest.
In December 2011, FEMEN activists staged a topless protest at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour screaming "God Turn Tsar Out!" The protest followed parliamentary elections in Russia on December 4, which the opposition said were mared by mass fraud in favor of the pro-Kremlin United Russia party.
In July, a topless FEMEN activist attacked Patriarch Kirill during his visit to Ukraine. She ran up to the patriarch screaming "Get out" and tried to block his way as he was reportedly walking towards the press at Kiev Airport.
