Do you believe the term 'Uncle Tom' is racist/hateful?


Ignore that Stowe meant for Uncle Tom in the book to be a hero. We are talking about the negative connotation definition of a black person selling out their race/people for their own self-interest or servility.

Absolutely. It's a racially charged insult used when you don't like something someone says.

You don't say it with kindness and you only say it about a black man. Sounds like a racist insult to me.

The idea of "race traitor" itself is absurdly racist.

yea, but mostly because there's no real analogue for any other group, and it sets an unfair standard for black people where they might be labeled as one for not being able to keep it.

like yea, people like Clarence Thomas are pieces of shit who work against the interests of black people, but others have been referred to as that for not being as militant/being more moderate, or for not being "black" enough.

There is, but the term is best not used in polite company, or really any company.
