[QUOTE]Originally posted by X-Ras: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by X-Ras: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bettyboo: [qb] X-RAS give me a break. Diop was an Uncle Tom. Anytime when black men talk all that black stuff whites deem them as "Militant". I know you didn't take that statement of that white man serious? Jomo Kenyatta, Leopold Senghor, and whoever marries white is an Uncle Tom. I don't have respect for black people who talk all that black power Pan-Africanism crap and marry white. They are confused and frauds. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm still waiting for evidence that Diop, Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta and Leopold Senghor were Uncle Toms. Clyde Winters what is your opinion on thisß [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't believe that Diop, Nkrumah and Kenyatta were uncle toms because they definitely did not act in a subservient manner to whites. These men were strong, and dedicated their life and life works to furthering the cause of freedom for Black and African people. They spoke out against injustice at home and advocated freedom for Blacks whereever they lived. Although this is my opinion, many young people have been influenced by recent Black comedy shows and movies where certain individuals act militant--but marry a white women. This has led these people to see Blacks who marry whites--but maintain militant ideas as hypocrites. These same young people attempt to lable this group as uncle toms because of the seeming hypocrisy in being pro-Black/African while marrying someone of a different nationality. Although this is their opinion a person who marries someone white who is pro-Black, militant and etc., can not be an uncle tom, as long as that person is not acting and encouraging other people to act in a subservient manner to whites. It is the behavior: acting in a subservient manner to whites which demands the lable uncle tom. In recent years Colin Powell was labled an uncle tom. This was also a misuse of the term . Powell worked for the President. Since he was making pronouncements within the scope of his duties as Secretary of State he was not an uncle tom, he was just doing his job. Now I worked at a University back in the 1970's. There were a number of Black administrators who acted militant before the students, but in meetings with the vice president of student affairs they were offering numerous ideas on how to eliminate Blacks on the campus. This was uncle tomism. It was uncle tomism because it was not part of their job to eliminate Blacks they were working on campus primarily due to the Blacks who were students there. To want to help eliminate the population that ensured your job is lunacy--but these uncle toms saw nothing contradictory in their behavior--since they believed they were "pro-black". In the case of these Blacks then, and now jealousy can be a prime motivator in Black on Black oppression and precieved uncle tom behavior. Marrying someone who is not Black can not indicate ones "uncle tomism". The act of trying to keep Black people down in concert with whites is true "uncle tomism". But even using this definition can prove pointless because I have seen many Blacks who talk a militant game--married to Blacks--who will sell you out, due to jealousy. Blacks who do not in any way believe they are uncle toms. Bettyboo has a right to her opinion, and would be supported by many other Black and African people. But those Blacks who marry someone of a different nationality--yet constantly fight for the rights of other Blacks should not be given this derogatory lable in my opinion. . [/qb][/QUOTE]Great post Clyde and i have a question, well another question, have you ever noticed any Uncle Thomases in the realm of black history? For example, Frank Snowden had some Uncle Thomas like views, at least in my opinion as well as Clarence Page. What is your opinion on these two? IMO, Uncle Thomases and Thomasinas/ Aunt Jemimas do our people far worst than racist whites, Jesse Lee Peterson and Ward Connerly are the worst example, even worst than Clarence Thomas. [/QB][/QUOTE]
