Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down, real, real slow so we didn’t make a sound. Runnin through the woods back to Uncle Tom’s shack, where the full moon shines through the roof tile cracks. Oh my God Tom who are we gonna tell, the Sheriff he belongs in a prison cell. Keep your mouth shut that’s what we’re gonna do, unless you wanna wind up in the wishing well too.

"Uncle Tom" is what Low IQ blacks, call other Blacks, who don't go along with their asinine agendas or rants/comments.
It's really the dumbest rebuttal comment of all races.
I've heard it used many times, because one Black guy came to work, did his job, and he was asked for a promotion(job opening with pay hike), because of his seniority time.
He became an "Uncle Tom" to the lazy workers, who didn't show up, didn't do their jobs, and didn't have the seniority to get that job.

The "meaning today" is not an appropriate description of the character in the novel. The Uncle Tom in the novel had strong character qualities that should be admired not denigrated.
But that meaning was pretty quickly overrun by history after the fact. Uncle Tom as an epithet has been around for over 150 years. It's not some new insult.

What about Major Tom? Ground control?

I don't see a problem.
Uncle Tom Stinkdawg.

I have an Uncle Tom and at times he can have a-hole tendencies.

For a segment of the Negro population about 75 years after publication.

Not nearly that long. And culturally illiterate Negroes have corrupted a lot of the language from niggardly to Tar Baby. Nothing to celebrate.

Maybe the fool should read the book before using terms he is totally ignorant of.
Whoa...
Among all the names to call someone, the Bible says this is the worst.
And you are mad about people calling people Uncle Tom...yet you don't know anything about the worst name to call someone?
Shame on you.

I think Antonio Brown is a Warrant fan.

What about the actor Tommy Davidson? He has two brothers, so their kids could call him "Uncle Tom"...but since he was adopted by a white family and his nieces and nephews are white, is it more or less hurtful?
