Uncle Tom is a term used by black people to try to convince other black people that working, education, living well, and setting a good example for their children is selling out.

Theatrical productions of Uncle Toms Cabin played throughout the nadir (post Civil War and Reconstruction); but since the novels indictment of slavery was no longer congenial to an increasingly white society, rewrites changed Uncle Tom from a martyr who gave his life to protect the people into a sentimental dope who was loyal to kindly masters. In the black community, Uncle Tom eventually came to mean an African American who sells out his peoples interests and still does today. In my opinion the phrase uncle tom should not be used today by black people because it degrades the status of a man who wasnt in fact a sell out but a hero whos name should be used with reverence not disgrace.

the real uncle tom was a black man born into slavery who gave his life to protect other slaves. when his story was turned into a movie, the writers re-worked the script making uncle toms character the opposite; a slave who was loyal to his master. unfortunately, this has become the most commonly known image of uncle tom. because of the film, the term uncle tom has become synonomous with sellout, degrading the real uncle tom. so once again, the white man has successfully managed to teach blacks an incorrect, caucasion-favoring version of history.

Historically, Uncle Tom was a [black] [man] born into slavery, who ended up sacrificing his own life to save the lives of other slaves. But, when this story was made into a movie, Uncle Tom was portrayed as a slave who gave his life for his master.
Now, an Uncle Tom is a [derogatory] term to describe a black man who acts white and talks white, or who is a [sell-out] to his own [race]. A black man who kisses white peoples asses, and who will turn his back on other black people to keep the approval of [whites]. A sell-out, an [ass kisser], a [race traitor]...
Ive also heard people describe an Uncle Tom as a [whitewashed] black man. A [black man] who may have been raised by [white people], and who therefore has the [manorisms] and [behaviors] of a [white man]. He would also speak like a dorky/nerdy white man.
A black man, who, while speaking to over the phone, one would think they were talking to a white man.
