An uncle tom was the one slave who would gain favor with the white slave owner by snitching on the other slaves when they did something bad. He would usually receive some sort of compensation for his snitching.

No, people alive today havent been slaves, but your grandmother and my grandmother may not have been able to use the same bathroom. I only say may because i dont know your family ethnicity and thats just the bare basic level of bull that people want me to act like just doesn't matter.

But whats the point of crying about it now? Equal rights exist now. Slave owners are all dead. (in the U.S) Stop playing the victim and move on.

Doubtful he was 130. Documentation back then wasn't really reliable. Or even existent in a lot of cases.

Yeah, i wasnt even talking about slavery and rights aren't quite equal yet. And im no victim. Simply a dream chaser working for the city.

Though it is weird to know that if time travel were available, the earliest i could travel back and still feel safe is...early to mid 70's?

Slave masters whipped their slaves when their slaves stepped out of line. Slave masters did this to demonstrate to their other slaves this is what happens when you do not do as I command.

The KKK would lynch and hang black people that didnt know their place. The KKK did this to show other black people this is what happens to you when you do not do as I command.

Todays liberals will character assassinate, harass, and drop death threats on black people that dont tow the line. Todays liberals do this to show other black people this is what happens to you when you do not do as I command.

Liberals are the same racist monsters theyve always been.
