Heavens no! Why do you think someone would call you an Uncle Tom? This is dontsoundlikearacist101 stuff and to me seems obvious. It’s like the saying, “that’s mighty white of ya” - which is an absolute backhanded racist comment against minorities. There’s all kinds of ways to throw shade on someone. That you’re claiming to not see this is crazy to me; it literally should be common sense no matter who says it to who IMO. If intent matters, its clear the phrase is being used as a slur, too, so there’s that too.
I do, but I choose to rebuke it for the trash that it is.
No one is born a racist. It’s a learned behavior.
People who allow themselves to become racist/hateful/spiteful towards a target group of people usually had some kind of ■■■■■■ childhood or another, and never learned how to properly channel that pain into something constructive, so they channel it into something destructive instead.
Out of their own stupid ignorance, they perpetuate and create more people like them, convincing themselves they’re the “real victim” along the way.
Easy to get suckered in, difficult to see that reflection for what it is.
White trash isn’t racist to white people, it’s racist to the minorities they are supposedly emulating. The same way you fight like a girl directed at a male is misogynistic not misandrist.
uncle tom is one of the racist terms used to keep people of color on the plantation. it is meant to denigrate any black man who has the audacity to think or act in any manner deemed to not be ideologically pure which is associated with not acting “black” or acting “white”. it denotes an underlying hatred of white people and is inherently racist.
Brainwashed by the CEC, only said about white conservatives. But I do agree, plantation is loaded language that shouldn’t be used. A simple voting against their best interest will do.
Yes I happens more often than not. Just pointing out on this subject you said a bunch of stuff o disagreed with. But that last post I am 100% on board.
