“Make America White Again” Uncle Toms

“In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.”

Booker T. Washington

Speech to the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition

Atlanta, Georgia – October 18, 1895

Uncle Tim, Uncle Ben, Uncle Burgess, and good ol’ Uncle Clarence – all official, certified Uncle Toms, endlessly verbalizing and amplifying this same old butt-kissin’ line over a century later, without and void-of the 3-tier Star Trek chess strategy the original author, and empathic Booker T. Washington harbored for his people.

These “Make America White Again” Toms aren’t empathetic or sympathetic to the torturous plight of their people…instead I’d argue they’re merely “in it to win it.”

I’m sorry, I do very well understand the term “Uncle Tom” to be belittling, insulting and derogatory. Them is fightin words on most playgrounds, in most sports bars, coffee shops, barbershops and hair salons – rightfully-so, but all I can say is, if the tap-shoes, white gloves and top-hats fit boy… If millions of other Aro-Americans define and describe you as a “Sellout” then perhaps, just maybe you are a sellout.

However, what makes their 21st-century “Tomming” so egregious? The 160-year cold civil war is obviously heating up. With Obama came the end of an extremely privileged way of life as WASP America knew it. The sky was falling. Hence Trump’s reign of terror, and now his enduring popularity amongst the rank n’ file, those loud n’ proud self-proclaimed neo-confederate “Red-Necks” who’re at a lynch mob fervor… and these negro political pawns, if not male prostitutes decide to aid an albeit the …opposition? The oppressors? Our former masters? C’mon baby, I’m just telling’ the truth, straight, no chaser.

African American history is riddled and littered with “sellouts” – am I lying? No! Hell, no I’m not lying, “loose lips” sink ships…no, I’m not going to go down the long list of those who betrayed Nat Turner, John Brown, Malcolm X, Dr. King, the Panthers – Bunchy Carter, Fred Hampton, Huey, Eldridge. Bobby, Elaine and Ms. Angela Davis, i.e., betrayed the best interest of their people, here in a hostile land. Look, if we’re not engaged in a “cold war” with our European oppressors, we are at actual war… see Watts 65′ and 92,’ Tulsa 20, Chicago and Detroit 68.

However, what I am going to be “sharp and’ blunt” about is; this done in detriment to the wellbeing of Black folk these men are contributing to by allowing themselves to be pimped, played and used by a political party and movement who’d like to put Black folks back in segregated schools, hospitals, back in the last few rows of the bus, back of the plane… And these are the fools who allow themselves, for a price to be employed as camouflage, to be used as a masking device to deter and deflect legitimate criticism of a racist white backlash which is attempting to drag this decadent empire back, back…back to the golden era of good Ol boys n’ gals. Human cloaking devices.

And these step-in n’ fetch-it clowns are both willing and wanting to assist them… for a price of course. They will exploit, they will pimp Black America’s pain and suffering for personal profits.

Pimpin’ aint easy…nor is it moral, ethical, upstanding nor noble.

Need we look any further than the “token” Supreme, Uncle Clarence, a hand-puppet who got a gig for life, and… they threw in a White wife, a neo-Confederate-minded white woman who personifies the adage “beauty is in the eye of the beholder…” Thomas must be her slave, sex slave… nonetheless her slave. Sorry – I’ve little, to virtually no respect for a cat who knowingly enables grand pooh-bah Donald Trump to muster the troops, the militia, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Yep, check it – that’s precisely and exactly who these useful idiots are helping… good lord!

Let’s get critical and historical for a moment: Booker T. Washington, long regarded as an accommodationist extremist who pacified and placated White America with his Atlanta Compromise concept. In one sentence Washington summarized his/their concept of race relations appropriate for the times: “In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.” Well, gee let’s be real, that America of 1895 – that very same White America, Trump’s America, today after a century-plus of … what, pretending they’ve had an enlightenment and begrudging reconsidered their blind hatred, accepted Black folks and other people of color are human? Well, they today want to embrace and bring to life Booker T’s notion of separate and equal.

By just about everyone’s measure, we’re living in a combustible, flammable moment, the racial cold war is heating up. This is an odd time and place in which former Vice President Dick Cheney’s Little girl Liz, and aristocratic Mormon Senator Mitt Romney are considered, by Trump’s cult, to be moderates, RHINOS. No wait, dig this they’re “Nigger lovers” in the eyes o Trumps’ troops. While in this same insane moment these Step n’ fetch-it minstrels are doing a little “coon- jig” for Mister Charlie? What they’re doing along with Darrell Scott and Candence Owens is despicable and trifling.

Most, not all but clearly more than 50% of White folks want America to be “in all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.” Yes, this is the good Ol America most of mainstream WASP America longs for.

I don’t believe Black folks and our songs of Kumbaya can change their hearts and minds, and matter-of-factly, I think, as a people, we are “sick n’ tired of being sick n’ tired” of trying to help a people, an All-American culture which does not want to change, evolve, and mature, but instead likes being racist, sexist and elitist, phobic of all who aren’t Conservative, straight, Christain male and white. (Not in that order.)

I’ve got to ask: Good Lord… Where have all the good White folks gone?

Thank the Gods, all of them, for these House-Negros represent but a small, simple-minded segment of Black America, who would, if the price was right... they’d put their momma on da’ corner. They allow Ted Cruz to rub their heads, slap their asses and call them “Rastus”- still they want to be his boy..

I suggest we pull their “Official” ceremonial “Black Man Union” Identification license and passport cards for life… state and national. I’m serious… as Covid.

I’m done with Toms…!

These men ought not be accepted into any traditionally Black environment, from church to family dinners they should be unwelcome and unwanted, they should be “Whitelisted” – branded, banned, eternally barred from participating with Afro-Americans.

Why?

Because apparently and obviously they could give a … about us. They may be my color, but they’re not my kind.
