and that nigga must be stopped!
There has been a rash of Black Men in the last few years that have surged ahead in the fight to bring back right wing America. It started with Clarence Thomas. He scraped and bowed his way all the way to the Supreme Court. We thought that was bad back in the day but oh no, it was only the beginning of the new black right wing.
I should back up. Black America has been inherently Conservative for a long time. The reason being is that the Black church, the community's traditional leader, is inherently conservative. Most of our leaders have come from the church and so stand against things like homosexuality, pre-marital sex and the right to an abortion.
Luckily, most black people realized that right wing politics and conservative beliefs don't usually end well for the Black community. By the mid '60s, the republican party had virtually abandoned Black voters so we migrated to the democratic party. The dems are more liberal but a lot of that church goer thinking didn't just disappear, it just stayed out of the voting booth.
Fast forward to 2008. There is one thing that really gets an uncle Tom going, that is a successful Black Man that doesn't lick boots on his way to the top.
The Biggest cause of the revival of uncle Tom is none other than Barack Obama. The Herman Cains of this world saw this strong successful Black man and knew that all the yassa' bossing they did to make it was a complete mistake. But, its easier to defend your position than it is to admit that you are wrong.
By accepting Conservative Christian values you are saying that the same oppressive system that has kept minorities down is the best route to go. It completely dismisses all the atrocities that have been committed under the conservative Christian banner in all these years. That is why Uncle Tom is so spurned in the Black community. Not all Conservative Christians are Uncle Toms but all Uncle Toms are conservative Christians. There is nothing wrong with SOME of Conservative America's values, but one of those values is to keep women, niggas and Mexicans in their place. It isn't written that way but we all know its true.
I know people really get off on the interracial dating aspect of Uncle Toms these days but I really don't care about that. Love is love. Sex is sex and two consenting adults should be able to do what they feel. Some Black me make the next step in to disliking Black women. That is a whole different issue. Any Black person that devalues brown skin is only affirming their self hatred. Mush of that self hatred is rooted in slavery and the mainstream medias obsession with White beauty. When Uncle Tom can't see the beauty in his face or his mother's face, therein lies a huge problem.
Being dark skinned, having nappy hair and big lips doesn't make you ugly. Being ugly is not recognizing your own beauty as a human being. Ugliness is failing to see the beauty in EVERYONE around you. That is what Uncle Tom is missing and it scares me that he is making a big time come back.
