Transcript:
Here we find the radical scholar and future voice of black America, Huey Freeman, diligently working on his first book. An expansive and thorough text, it will offer a critical analysis of the black neoconservative movement and its most famous champion. Ward Connerly should be beaten by Rackwon the Chef with a spiked bat. A critical look at black conservatives by Huey Freeman. As the brilliant young author reconsiders his title, he confronts the same dilemma as so many black writers before him - choosing his audience. Rackwon, a name easily recognized by anyone affiliated with the hip-hop culture, will undoubtedly be lost on the society at large, including influential academic and political circles... Will Huey alienate the masses with obscure references? Can he broaden the scope of his work without corrupting its cultural integrity and unyielding radical tone? Can he discover the elusive middle ground between Frances Cress Welsing and Henry Louis Gates Jr.? Oh, we do not envy the difficult task facing poor Huey... Ward Connerly is a boot-licking uncle Tom. A critical look at black conservatives by Huey Freeman Way to go, Huey! Everyone knows what a boot-licking uncle Tom is! The ability to transcend cultural barriers is the mark of a great communicator. Keep this us and you'll be on "Charlie Rose" in no time!

For those of you who can’t read the microscopic font size of the titles— “Ward Connerly Should Be Beaten by Raekwon the Chef With a Spiked Bat: A Critical Look at Black Conservatives by Huey Freeman” and the supposedly tamer one “Ward Connerly Is a Boot-Licking Uncle Tom: A Critical Look at Black Conservatives by Huey Freeman”

The original “Uncle Tom” wasn’t as subservient as many assume…

I understand newspapers reducing the size of the comics to stuff in more content and advertising but what’s going on here?

It is about time to stop using “Uncle Tom” in a pejorative way!!!!
Here a short history of who “Uncle Tom” was:
Josiah Henson (June 15, 1789 – May 5, 1883) was an author, abolitionist, and minister.
Born into slavery, in Port Tobacco, Charles County, Maryland, he escaped to Upper Canada (now Ontario, Canada) in 1830, and founded a settlement and laborer’s school for other fugitive slaves at Dawn, near Dresden, in Kent County, Upper Canada, of Ontario, Canada.
Henson’s autobiography, The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself (1849), is believed to have inspired the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852).
Following the success of Stowe’s novel, Henson issued an expanded version of his memoir in 1858, Truth Stranger Than Fiction. Father Henson’s Story of His Own Life (published Boston: John P. Jewett & Company, 1858).
Interest in his life continued, and nearly two decades later, his life story was updated and published as Uncle Tom’s Story of His Life: An Autobiography of the Rev. Josiah Henson (1876).
