Obama was a centrist who kowtowed to corporate interests. Obamacare was a gift to the insurance companies when we could have had M4A. That doesn’t change the fact that calling him an “Uncle Tom” just because he’s black is racist. Oh, also, fun fact, it’s pretty hard to “dehumanize” a group when you’re calling them “people”.
Anyway, go “ree” into your navel, because I really don’t care.
This led to the use of Uncle Tom — sometimes shortened to just a Tom— as a derogatory epithet for an exceedingly subservient person or house negro, particularly one accepting and uncritical of their own lower-class status.
Yeah thanks for your link to edit the page on Wikipedia. I don’t really care what you added, nor do I care for apologia, but this is racist bullshit. Sorry you don’t see that. But that’s more of a “you” problem.
…that doesn’t change the point though. It’s still racist as fuck to just randomly call anyone black who does something you don’t like an “uncle Tom”. Obama sucked for reasons unrelated to his race. Focus on those.
“Uncle Tom,” unlike most anti-black slurs, is primarily used by black people against black people. Its synonyms include “oreo,” “sell-out,” “uncle,” “race-traitor,” and “white man’s negro.” It is an in-group term used as a social control mechanism. source
Is it not cultural appropriation to determine what terms people in a black community can use to describe themselves?
Is OP even black? I doubt it. Also if your entire argument rests solely upon the skin-color of the person who made the post, then your argument is weak as fuck.
ITT white children upvoting racism so they can virtue signal as “progressive”. LMAO.
ITT liberals who won’t admit Obama was a traitor to everything he pretended to stand for.

Learn about the use of the term before making definitive statements.

Sorry, I fixed the link

I find it interesting that only white liberals are disturbed by the term.
