If you read Uncle Tom’s Cabin there is no way being called an Uncle Tom can be a smear.
she is a conservative, so no matter her color or race, she is to be targeted.
Of all the books I have read I have never read that one. I will pick up a copy in the next day or two.
All it does is point out how stupid and uneducated liberals really are.
As a conservative, she is required to think, which is anathema to islamicommucrats.
Would not that be Aunt Jemima just to be accurate?
Uncle Tom is so so masculine and sexist.
I should have asked you not to tell me how the book ends. That’s ok though, I will still read it.
Exactly. Uncle Tom was a hero in the story.
I’m sorry! There’s still a lot of story to read.
Yup. The left is clueless.
I read it a year or two ago and was moved to tears repeatedly.
I do realize the novel was written as a motivator (or, we might call it propaganda) to convince the nation that the Democrat party was wrong for supporting slavery...but it was also, I understand, not too far from the truth.
The story is told along several lines, but there is a true and distinct line between slave owners who treated their slaves in a caring manner (though still as property) and those slave owners who treated their slaves as mere chattel.
The sadness in the book is profound. But worth the time...and shows the institution of slavery (as practiced in the European colonies and their progeny—I do not speak of the ancient economic system) was indeed a wicked one.
How dare her be so classy and black! Which she would have mentioned Jefferson’s role in the constitution - the freedom blacks wanted and fought for in past generations.
Uncle Jasmine???
Sounds like a Democrat.
Will be worth it.
The white sharecroppers in the South were on average worse off then the slaves. Except the whites had their freedom. Freedom to starve. When they dug some of the canals down here they used the Irish, slaves were too valuable.
