You are absolutely right, it was one of the most racist comments I have had the displeasure to hear.
Belafonte could not acknowledge the success of a black man, unless it was at the hands of a white liberal.
Herman Cain needs to go after this nonsense, it is pure unadulterated racism.
Sharpton said yesterday that Cain is not 'black enough'. I'm finally seeing that what this term means is that he isn't bitter enough towards whites because of the past sin of slavery.
'Black enough' people carry the 'original grudge' as a badge of honor and an excuse to fail.
Sorry, sort of stark, but I can't see what else it means.
” The first person who can name a successful Republican Black Man who is NOT called an Uncle Tom by democraps wins.”
Those on the left think they are slandering someone when they label them an “Uncle Tom”. In Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Uncle Tom was the good guy, the hero. The villain intent on doing harm to others was Simon Legree. Those that label others as Uncle Tom are acting like Simon Legree.
