If I remember correctly Uncle Tom was a Christ like figure that sacrificed his life to save other slaves and in doing so shamed those that harmed him. It would seem to me the those that call other people Uncle Tom are the real slaves
Correct. Tom is a monumental force for good in Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Those who disparage him are duped by the true forces of slavery.
You are correct, Uncle Tom was one of the good guys. Anybody who calls someone Uncle Tom in a disparaging way, is simply ignorant.
