In black culture being an “Uncle Tom” is of course being a cuck to white folks.

Except he wasn’t... Uncle Tom was a hero who gave his life to protect other slaves.

The real life Uncle Tom (Josiah Henderson) was an abolitionist and minister who founded a school to educate fugitive slaves.

frick him though, let’s idolize a piece of shite home invader

Did Uncle Tom ever just dream to go to college one day and jog?

My guess would be that Uncle Tom believes in a sense of self pride and hard work. Goes against the current federal programs in place.

Uncle Tom said mean things about Django riding a horse and he didn’t spit in the white people’s food which is the number one rule of Burger King

Also he was played by Samuel l Jackson who everybody knows is on the down low

Because Uncle Tom was educated and worked hard. They can't sit on their asses, slack off in school, and cry about white supremacy if half of the black population is proving the theory wrong.

Comes from the minstrel show version of Uncle Tom, not from the novel.

I think it’s because Uncle Tom tried to “act white” as opposed to improve himself as a “black man”

Because uncle tom motivates them to fulfill their full potential and to quit relying on and blaming white men for this misfortune

you mean like work, pay taxes, and not break any laws in the process? Don’t worry I’ll be doing that today. How about you be constructive and go solve the fatherless black household problem or the unimaginably high black on black homicide rate. I’ll wait.

The uncle Tom character was basically corrupted into a snitch caricature in the minstrel shows. It was done intentionally to destroy a great character and inspiration.

It doesn't help that the democratic party keeps telling the AA community they are oppressed and worthless. It's a damn shame how AA's have been used by their own party.

You think most people these days, not just black, have read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”?
