"Uncle Tom's Cabin"
As a child, Eye always steered away from reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe --yet information of enlightenment came to me when Eye read "Black Labor, White Wealth" by Claud Anderson on page 17. The use of this term is -- ALL W-R-O-N-G!!
A Sambo is really the correct term for a sellout, not Uncle Tom. Therefore, when you use this catch phrase you are exalting the person rather than denigating them.
We don't read. We don't research. We don't investigate what we speak as truth, collectively.
Eye actually went to the library, and read the book--cause it's marked as a reference book (brainchild of USA Patriot Act) and I could not take it out of the library. -- Lo and behold Dr. Claud Anderson, Ed.D. is correct.
So the saying is true. If you want to hide something from a black person just hide it in a book.
Don't get me wrong I am guilty too...
Fine
