Because the left appoints mindguards to self censor the group to prevent group members from reconsidering their assumptions.

Here, this may help...

Eight Commandments of the Liberal Left

I
Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking

II
Thou shall not allow any member to question the group's inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions

III
Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions

IV
Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose

V
Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments

VI
Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view

VII
Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group's stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members

VIII
Thou shalt appoint mind guards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

In the video, he explains that liberal blacks haven’t read Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and don’t really know who he actually was. The publication of the book angered the racists of the day. They performed plays mocking Uncle Tom, and painted a false public image of Uncle Tom. That’s reason #1 that liberal blacks call conservative blacks and republican blacks “Uncle Tom.”

The other reason is that they’ve lost an argument, and have nothing else to fall back on than ad hominem attacks.

It’s a good video.

Uncle Tom was the good guy in that classic book.

Thanks for explaining. Maybe I will watch it. I actually haven’t read Uncle Tom’s Cabin either!
