Uncle Tom Clarence Thomas

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

And I'm surprised the Coli missed this one:



And already, the rest of the Uncle Toms are coming out the wood works in defense of Uncle Tom Clarence.

Here's an article from the Washington Post:
Stop calling Clarence Thomas an ‘Uncle Tom’

If you want to get under my skin, I mean, really just go there with me, call me or any other African American man an “Uncle Tom.” As Dexter Mullins wrote in a piece for The Grio a few years ago, “Short of dropping the n-bomb on someone, there are few things more insulting to many African Americans than being called an ‘Uncle Tom.’”

Sure, the n-bomb is a kick in the groin. But being called a “Tom” is a kick in the stomach. Every black man you know, at one time or another, has been branded an “Uncle Tom.” I can’t speak for them, but when it has been hurled at me, it’s devastating because the numbskull hurling the epithet is calling you a traitor to your race and to yourself. As if all African Americans are still enslaved, but into one way of thinking or a uniform way of looking at the world.

Which brings me to Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) As Buzzfeed first reported, the 10-term congressman called Justice Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court’s only African American member, an “Uncle Tom.” Maybe he was playing to his audience since he made the disparaging remark on New Nation of Islam radio. This cousin to the Nation of Islam led by Louis Farrakhan is helmed by someone who calls himself The Son of Man.

Then, when confronted by what he said by Dana Bash of CNN, Thompson said the equivalent of “That’s right! I said it!”

LOL @ the writer giving himself away by letting us know he's been called an Uncle Tom. I don't know anybody that's been called an Uncle Tom, and I've definitely never been called one.

I don't agree with Justice Thomas' point of view on the law (traditionalist) but that was just disrespectful and Representative Thompson should be ashamed of himself and should be sanctioned and publicly reprimanded.

Calling another black man an uncle tom is a personal attack. And Clarence as a Supreme Court Justice (second black supreme court justice) deserves alot more respect than that.

He talks about how Republicans are racist and then he comes with a statement like that. Where is the logic in that.
