Please do not malign Uncle Tom.
Uncle Tom was whipped to death because he refused to whip the other slaves.
A hero in my book and in Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Well, that may be. But I'm not the one who started applying the epithet Uncle Tom to black conservatives "Uncle Tom"s.
That has been a leftist meme for 50 years, and it is about time it was turned against those who adopted it and changed it to what it means today.
See Wikipedia:
. . . The phrase "Uncle Tom" has also become an epithet for a person who is slavish and excessively subservient to perceived authority figures, particularly a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people; or any person perceived to be a participant in the oppression of their own group. . . . The negative epithet is the result of later works derived from the original novel.
