Uncle Tom is not racism, is an apt description
No, mate. Its racist as fuck. ie "Youre not a real black man, because you do white people things.". Which is, wait for it, racism.
Call many white guys "Uncle Tom"? Bet you dont, because no one calls white people "race traitor" except for...
Uncle Tom has a different meaning. There are terms like Oreos, or coconut that imply a black person is black on the outside, but white on the inside, as in, they act white, but appear black. I can see how that could be perceived as racist.
Uncle Tom has a specific meaning a black person being overly deferential to, or appeasing white people, as a sellout to their own race. It comes from an old character in a book of a “virtuous” slave. It can also be used for any minority person complicit in their own groups oppression.
You sound MAGA making excuses for why its OK to round up brown people.
The actions of snoop, have nothing whatsoever to do with the colour of skin. You, and all the other racists, are making about his skin in a "no true Scotsman" fashion. Youre the same gaggle of cave brained cunts who bemoaned Carlton not being "black enough" back in the 90s because he liked Tom Jones.
Being a shitty person has NOTHING to do with the colour of someones skin. And if you think it does, well, you know what you are...
Nop, just trying to educate on the terms as you seem to be using them erroneously.
Yes, and what youre doing is trying to justify being racist.
log off, touch grass. No one said any of that because that's not what it means. You baited yourself into that position and then got angry about it. Go get some fresh air.
You can keep on saying it, but it doesnt make it true. You all jumped on the colour of his skin to attack him. Its actually sad how willing you all are to over it look it, because hes not on your side.
Another one that doesn't understand the Uncle Tom concept.
I understand it just fine, mr racist.
Of course you do mr Kruger-Dunning
