How much do you guys get paid from right wing foundations to post here? What's wrong with the old boys trying to make the best of an unsavory situation?
You know, fire is the devil's only friend -- and that ain't no friend at all.
One way or another...willingly or unwillingly the darkness will give.

F'ing ramblings of an idiot. That's what you will often find here. You have to be prepared to leave the bad and take the good.
Anyhow, most folks here avoid such overtly nasty posts. Just know that the intended effect is smoke blowing from the readers ears, followed by a vitriolic reply.
Homey, don't play that! :)

In the literary sense, the title of the thread is humorous.
However, socially, the term "Uncle Tom" has a negative connotation and initiates the knee-jerk.
In summary, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the title of a book. While "Uncle Tom" is a negative/racist term used mostly by black people to describe other blacks who they perceive as sell-outs(for lack of a better term).
Folks get confused and assume it's a racist remark. But you'll have to ask the author of this thread to know for sure.

Agreed. I wish people would listen (and read) w/ their funny-bone first, and soon they'd simply drop the stone from laughing so hard.
