Many blacks have been called “ Uncle Tom’s” including myself. I actually wear that with a badge of honor. I noticed a common theme, almost every black that is called an Uncle Tom is a responsible law abiding citizen . An “Uncle Tom “ wakes up every morning and goes to work, takes care of his family, and leads a responsible lifestyle.  You will rarely see an Uncle Tom in prison or having a bunch of out of wedlock children.  An Uncle Tom supports family structure and 2 parent household’s which our black community so desperately needs.
Its extremely troubling that a black man who is a hard working family man and lives a responsible lifestyle is frowned upon in our community. Speaking well and using proper English is also frowned upon in our black community and is known as “ selling out”; how ignorant !!!

The black community seems to admire thugs, victimhood, and excuses. Our community needs more Uncle Tom’s. 
If you are a black man and are called an Uncle Tom, take that as a great compliment as you are doing the right thing.

You mistitled this post. You do not provide the real meaning of the term "Uncle Tom"

You dysfunctionally reinterpret the meaning of the term based on its false use towards you and then claim your interpretation of the term represents some positive or badge of honor to the larger community. 

 

You are missing the point.. Irregardless of what you consider an “ Uncle Tom”, there seems to be a common theme- They always seem to be responsible law abiding people.

Again, we need more Uncle Toms. 

@Jeromex Well taking out the term uncle tom or its usage... is your point black people who do not commit illegal acts, this doesn't mean said black people don't commit criminal acts, are needed more in the black community in the usa?

 

 

 

I would not discourage a Black man from being an Uncle Tom. There's no shortage of them.

 

I only ask that Uncle Toms do not seek help from Black folks if/when their situation goes sideways with white folks. 

 

From police brutality to modern day lynching, if an Uncle Tom is a victim, Black folks shouldn't shed a tear and/or lend a hand to help him.  Let Uncle Tom work it out for himself. He knows better.😎

@Jeromex you’ll probably enjoy this “documentary” film, though I’m sure you’ve seen it dozens of times given your rhetoric.  I took the film, Uncle Tom: A Oral History of the American Black Conservative, seriously enough to write a review of it.

 

@Jeromex do you acknowledge the civil rights activists who fought and died to give you the freedoms which allows you to be an Uncle Tom?
