Oh look, another example of hypocrisy. You see though, he is a democrat and his target was a man hated by liberals, Clarence Thomas.
This guy also said that criticism of Obama is racist.
Quote:
Bash: Isn’t that a racially charged term [to call Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom"]?
Thompson: “For some it is, but to others it’s the truth.”
Bash: Because looking at that and hearing that kind of language, that certainly wouldn’t be appropriate if it was coming from somebody who was white.
Thompson: “But I’m black.”
Oh that's rich. So what have we learned recently? You can get away with gay slurs, racist comments, insane rhetoric, and lying if the following criteria are met:
1. You are a well known liberal
2. The target is not well thought upon by the Left
3. You're just a comedian, so its ok. Its "art"
4. If it helps demonize the anti-Left, say what you want and need to say
Besides, Uncle Tom isn't a racist term anyway...especially not in this case. It's appropriate when discussing certain servile blacks. Necessary even.
I don't understand why you can't get that through your heads. It's not racist to call an Uncle Tom an Uncle Tom if he's Tomming.
Whether or not it's appropriate for a white person to say it isn't my concern or my problem. Just don't call ME one. Besides, most whites can't tell the difference anyway. It's not an issue that they need to worry about.

That reporter will be given a stern tongue lashing. You don't ever, ever impugn a fellow democrat as racist, unless it's Donald Sterling, who hasn't donated to a campaign in over 20 years.
Now we have yet another quote to overtly expose the racist thought process of the left. What one can and can't get away with saying is a function of one's skin tone.

Thanks for finally admitting your a racist.
Yes it is a racist term. Who the hell are you to decide what's racist and what's not? Uncle Tom is a term to demean certain BLACK people. That alone makes it racist. It is a race based negative term.
You can defend yourself all you want, but you're no better than that team owner. You just think you are because you choose to except that that term is racist.

Certainly "Uncle Tom" is a racist term, by definition. You're judging someone's behavior according to the color of his skin. That's the definition of racism. It's also dumb in that very few who use the term have actually read the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

He's right though. It's about as racist a term as RINO. It's a term to call out people who sell out principles for short-term gain, same as with "house negro" (although that one is really incorrect historically - Malcolm X should have done his research before popularizing it) And frankly, a black guy who gets angry about voting rights for black people, well, what can I say?
Now, it's not a term I use personally, but it's certainly not a racist term.
