June 19 is the premiere of "Uncle Tom," a documentary on which I am the executive producer. Through interviews with black conservatives, some well-known and some not, the film asks a simple question: Why are independent-thinking blacks, who believe in limited government and personal responsibility, denounced as "sellouts" and "coons" and "Uncle Toms" by fellow blacks?
One can agree or disagree about whether, and to what degree, today's problems in the black community can be traced to slavery and Jim Crow. But blacks who do not connect the serious problems in black urban America to Jim Crow and slavery are dismissed as "self-loathing." They are attacked, rarely with data, while having their character and very humanity questioned. Believing that fatherless homes, poor urban education and urban crime have less to do with the past and much more to do with the modern welfare state does not induce a healthy debate. It sparks anger and derision.

“believe in limited government and personal responsibility, denounced as “sellouts” and “coons” and “Uncle Toms” by fellow blacks?”
I consider biden blacks to be ‘house n-words’.
I really like Larry Elder.
Indeed he’s good a independent thinker with logic not a lemming member.
“Coons” ??? (by fellow blacks)
Has anyone else hear THIS term used in the context of ‘Uncle Tom’ ???
Bump this for later.
