Please, before reporting this post for racism, familiarize yourself with the history of the phrase “Uncle Tom.” The phrase has been used by the Black community against itself, recently in Spike Lee’s Bamboozled.
"black people say it why can't I"
and how am I supposed to know who is black or not?
Guess you should just allow the n-word too then because people might be black.
Not the same at all, one is used exclusively to denigrate someone for their race, the other is used to criticize people who are actively supportive of/complicit in the oppression of their own community/race
I can't believe this is the response. I am seriously at a loss for words.
For the record, I did not report this post for racism. I do believe the rhetoric absolutely enables white hegemony and should not be seen as subversive or somehow post racial.
I am done with this thread. I literally just came to get screenshots for archival purposes. Cheers everyone ✌️
