Editor’s note: Rounding out our hat trick of remixes of racial epithets I thought I’d drop this classic favorite of TONY’s KANSAS CITY.
I remember as a kid learning that the term ‘Uncle Tom’ is derisive, which struck me as a bit ironic since I have an uncle whose name is Tom. My uncle Tom is a rebbe in Brooklyn. He is funny and quirky and really intelligent too. So I needed to know how having an ‘Uncle Tom’ was not a good thing.
I asked BILLY SUNDAY about the meaning of ‘Uncle Tom’ and what’s wrong with ‘selling out,’ since it is a phrase I’ve heard uttered in connection with the first.
The Uncle Tom character is someone who’s been given benefits and guarantees while he works hard to please his master. The Uncle Tom believes that due solely to his hard work, he has secured his master’s favor. The Uncle Tom believes that the master’s doctrines are universally beneficial and equitable.
The Whip Cracker is completely different from the Uncle Tom in that the Whip Cracker understands that the benefits he receives are issued not for meritous acheivement but for complicit behavior. The Whip Cracker doesn’t believe that he is favored by the master but understands that if he complies with the master’s programs, then he will be spared from the master’s wrath. The Whip Cracker knows the dirty tricks the master employs to control his holdings and the Whip Cracker has no empathy for the moral consequences. All the Cracker wants to know is,”When am I going to eat?”
In the end, the Uncle Tom is a tragic figure because he believes that he is truly loved by his controllers, whereas the Whip Cracker understands and accepts that he is only a servant responsible for sustaining the master’s control.
okay so what is the status…? i thought C.T. was a Tom, but he’s a whip cracker by this definition?
what about C.P.? U.T. Or W.C.?
please explain how you come to your conclusions

Oh my, one conservative giraffe primly fell despite a reluctant lemming.
True story. I went to Baton Rouge, Louisina early this year to speak on a panel at Southern University’s Law Students weekend. The key note speaker for the weekend was none other than Clarence Thomas. When I was up on my panel, I looked at the audience and CT was in attendence w/ his snowflake wife. During the course of my discourse, dude was actually cracking up and having a ball at some of the shit I was popping. Afterwards, a crew of us joined him for some drinks and I was way the eff’d amazed. In person, dude comes off as a cool ass uncle, mad personable with mad jokes. I couldnt believe it was the same dude that was tryign to throw a money wrench in all the gains earned during the Civil Rights movement. I’d hang with dude again.
