Its a shame, that Leftist/Regressive/Socialist minded White Democrats and their Black Marxist flunkies are quick to use Uncle Tom as an epithet, and a pejorative to describe we Conservative minded Unhyphenated American Blacks. Especially when you consider the UNDENIABLE TRUTH that Uncle Tom was in fact THE HERO OF THE STORY!!! ~ Unhyphenated America https://youtube/watch?v=b8LiI4Nz6pQ Published on Nov 13, 2013 Starring Avery Brooks as Uncle Tom Publishers Summary: Uncle Tom is a high-minded, devoutly Christian black slave to a kind family, the Shelbys. But beset by financial difficulties, the Shelbys sell Tom to a slave trader. Young George Shelby promises to someday redeem him. The story relates Uncle Toms trials, suffering, and religious fortitude. Uncle Toms Cabin was revolutionary in 1852 for its passionate indictment of slavery and for its presentation of Tom, a man of humanity, as the first black hero in American fiction. It became an overnight sensation and remains a shocking, controversial, and powerful work, exposing the attitudes of white 19th-century society toward slavery and documenting, in heart-rending detail, the tragic breakup of black families.
