Paging Joan Walsh. Charles Sherrod's White man and his uncle tom speech.

How do we put this in context?
SHERROD: We must stop the white man and his Uncle Tom from stealing our elections. We must not be afraid to vote black. We must not be afraid to turn a black out who votes against our interests.

In a few days or weeks the FCC will announce that we won a full power community-owned radio station in Albany, Georgia, a result of years of work. Tears that we shed so many times when the TV and the newspaper comes out the day of an election or day before an election and tell white folk all over wherever we're running somebody for an office that blacks are gonna take the office over and thousands are coming to the polls. But we had no means of communicating with our people.
It's a blessing that finally we will have a radio station to cover thousands of people.

  1. It's high time that the general public realized that "Uncle Tom" is the black equivalent of "N- Lover". It's used by racists against people of their own race that aren't sufficiently racist for the epithet-thrower's taste.

  2. Another racial attack on someone you don't like goes viral. And is probably as fake as the Breitbart one.

    You can tell, no link, no date, nothing to allow it to be looked up.

    IOW, another out of context quote. You right wingers will stop at nothing.
