‘Uncle Tom’: A Quiet Earthquake
townhall.com ^ | 7/25/2020 | Will Alexander

Think about it: For decades we’ve spent trillions to implement anti-discrimination policies and poverty programs. America is home to the wealthiest group of blacks, likely, in all of history. Black mayors, black police chiefs, black law enforcers, black attorneys, black school officials and black politicians are stuffed into every crevice of city and state governments across the nation. A black man was elected to Earth’s most powerful office – twice! Yet somehow, the screech for “racial justice” is louder now than it was when black oppression was real.

Race will always be a ticking time bomb as long as America buys into the Al Sharpton version of the black experience – that blacks are still hobbled by race-based inequities rooted in slavery.

I would repeat that most of the whiners today have ZERO clue what actual oppression is. They would NOT like it. Butt, 1619.

I bought the DVD for a friend as a gift. 2 weeks later I got an email from the producer of Uncle Tom (Salem Media) that due to overwhelming demand which saw 25,000 DVD orders in 2 weeks, they are way behind on fulfillment. Another 100,000 had streamed the movie.

Its pure political narrative and propaganda

The “racial bias” angle is loosing its strength, because of the things the author mentions, but the political block and interests behind it are larger and more hungry than ever. To maintain their power, position and money flow, all they can do is shout their slogans even louder.

there are race-baiters, race hustlers, race shakedown scammers who can profit from it.

In other words, race will always be a ticking time bomb. That is the nature of the human race.

Imagine if race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were charged with extortion. The world would be a better place.

Yet, “Uncle Tom” is far from an angry, woe-is-me film. Popular conservatives like Bob Woodson, Col. Allen West, Herman Cain, Dr. Carol Swain, Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson are funny, articulate, and unapologetic in extolling the virtues of hard work, discipline, persistence, self-sufficiency, and family.

According to the Smithsonian, those are "white" traits, and it is racist to expect anyone else to embody them.

Racial bias will continue so long as there is affirmative action.

I don’t see how liberals of any color could walk away and not be deeply disturbed by how tragically fraudulent the victim narrative has been. With the noblest of intentions, it treats blacks as subhuman.

There are no "noble" intentions among the liberal race hustlers. That should be evident to anyone who is intellectually honest.

BLM’s true goals have nothing to do with rights for Blacks. That’s just the phony front for what is simply a communist insurrection. Blacks will get nothing from this except devastated communities.

I disagree. You misunderstand the adversary if you doubt their good intentions. Their good intentions are key to why they’ve made headway in this country. Americans are goodhearted to a fault. They will forgive any movement if they sense it has good intentions. Doesn’t matter if it’s Marxist or whatever. Doesn’t matter if the policies are counterproductive and harm the intended beneficiaries. All is forgiven if the impulse is well meaning. This is the complex nature of the struggle we find ourselves in with the left. They operate very effectively under the cover of their good intentions.

-——Black mayors, black police chiefs, black law enforcers, black attorneys, black school officials and black politicians are stuffed into every crevice of city and state governments across the nation-——

All are black. None have American Values, all are corrupt as their African counterparts.

A long time ago there were people with noble intentions... Looking back from today's perspective - we see them more truthfully - as gullible.

They won’t even have devastated communities in the end.Democrats will move in their development pals and rebuild their socially engineered communities to sell to young white folks. Grandma’s burnt out block will now be a Fresh Fields with a Starbucks and Crate and Barrel.
