      I dont think ppl generally understand the true origin of Uncle Tom
Nov 24th 2015

           It's a moot point. For as long as Uncle Tom has been a label
Nov 24th 2015

           Yeah the origin is irrelevant...And that Uncle Tom was an Uncle Tom.

                But the term has NEVER had any other meaning
