Although forensic tests found unambiguous evidence of a sexual encounter between Mr. Strauss-Kahn, a French politician, and the woman, prosecutors do not believe much of what the accuser has told them about the circumstances or about herself.

NPR: How Bad is "Uppity"? →
“The word “uppity” has a long and ugly history, and was usually part of a two-word phrase that roughly ran: ‘uppity n*gger.’
“Of course, now that the word is out there, uppity’s got its defenders, too. They say that since it can be directed toward anyone of any race, it can’t be offensive exclusively to people of color. Except, really, how many...

ophiucha asked: In case people complain about the use of Urban Dictionary, most other dictionaries do in fact make mention of the origins being about blacks. Just as an example, "1880, from up + -ity; originally used by blacks of other blacks felt to be too self-assertive (first recorded use is in "Uncle Remus"). The parallel British variant uppish (1678) originally meant "lavish;" the...
failedblackwoman asked: Can I say, that as a black person when people refer to me as Uppity it's always in a negative manner. I'm not just "well read" and "well spoken" I'm "That uppity black chick who thinks she's too cool to listen rap." (Not true, I just don't listen to shit with misogynist messages.)

In 1982, Reagan raised taxes and the right assured Americans this would be a disaster. The right was wrong, and the economy boomed.
In 1993, Clinton raised taxes and the right was even more certain this would be a disaster. The right was wrong again, and we instead saw the longest and strongest sustained recovery in recent memory.
In 2001, Bush slashed taxes and the right swore up and down...

In the years that he has known me, he has not changed his opinions but he has come to realize that the words that he inherited from his religion didn't quite fit how he feels AS A CHRISTIAN (because that is his main motivator in life). When I met him, he said he was pro-life, believed in the Bible as a literal thing, and would never have used the...

That's the best, truest statement I've heard in a very long time.
It's the best thing I've seen all day, and I got my driver's license and watched two Daily Shows in a row today, which is pretty hard to beat, thank you for that.
