Yeah that's like you saying the n word and redefining the triangle of meaning to claim it is only for ignorant people. That sounds cute, but the premise is ahistorical and not rooted in ANY reality outside of pretentious (dare i say, WHITE) leftist spaces.
This is the first time I've ever heard the term uncle tom compared to the n word.

Good luck on your enlightened centrism masterclass
