I'm so confused. How did it end up like this?

American Blacks can't/don't read

Uncle Tom was a stoic and did not fight back against the "evil white man". He was someone who would have let himself be beat to death rather than reveal where two hidden black women were.

The Uncle Tom character is extraordinarily Christian. The climax of the story comes when Uncle Tom is asked to reveal where two slave women are hiding, who had been sexually abused by their master. And he refuses. Knowing that he is going to be beaten to death, he refused to say where they are.

African-Americans who have actually read the novel can appreciate what kind of heroism that took for a black man to sign away his life to save two black women.

Uncle Tom didn't do shit for the abolitionist cause compared to these kids.

...

...

Niggers used to be White?

...

Apparently.

Everything I know is a lie.

Sure as shit Tom didn't build that cabin.

He was appropriating white culture rather than embracing the black lifestyle of living in tribes and demand whitey to gibsmedats. No role model for the common dindu should show something else besides animalistic instincts.

Why would you expect an insult thought up by niggers to make sense?

It's basically something niggers call blacks for not acting like monkey-ass coons.

Very comical to know that blacks hate success and proper manners so much, they guilt anyone who doesn't act like a retarded ape.

Methinks this is White slavery documentation. During the gilded age (clapperstani for victorian) there were extensive pushes to eliminate prostitution which they labeled white slavery and pornagraphy via comstock laws, yes the jews are so butthurt that they made a fictionalized account of him for a video game.

Forgot to add: they referred to as white slavery as they figured that white women were the most attractive and desirable thus the target for pimps and ruffians. Though this might be from the Muslim slave trade though as white slaves were desirable for the Ottomans.

Are you blind? Most of those kids are quadroons at minimum.
this kid in the middle looks like my hapa cousin

Uncle Tom is a reference to the "Uncle Tom" character who would show up in Minstrel Shows

No, abolitionists argued that slavery was wrong because some slaves looked white.

So they hate a guy who basically Giles Corey'd for two people who weren't even in his family?

Like, Giles Corey did 'more weight' for his family, so his kin could inherit.

Uncle Tom literally died for people who he had no real obligation to.

His name is now used as an insult.

I hate everything about this story.

Damn! Uncle Tom got himself a skinny hoe and a fat ho.

Looks like you are correct; it is pretty nutty for some very white presenting quadroons to be held in bondage though. I can understand if the pictures lie a bit on the skin color but for us 60 percenters a couple look pretty white and all of them are better at passing than Latin American "white".

Well I hope you enjoy the ride in life. I know I am.

The term could be referencing that a white person wrote the book. She was white if I recall.
