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

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