From now on if I say I am voting for the white man because he is white, I expect to take no grief.

Maybe Armstrong Williams, though I seriously doubt it as his Tom credentials are well established, is finally seeing the Republican Party for what it really is....a party that knowingly and purposefully caters to white racists.

Why is a black republican automatically a "tom"?

From Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Uncle+Tom)

Uncle Tom

a black man considered by other blacks to be subservient to or to curry favor with whites.

I think that definition pretty well fits the majority, though not all, of black Republicans.

Why can't a black man just be a republican because he agrees with their platform?

Welp

That’s pretty sad. I could never vote for or against someone because of their skin color.

But at least he admitted he did not agree with him on any issues 

Why do you even respond to such dimwitted statements? :confused:

Because if they continue to be espoused unchecked, eventually people will take them at face value.

To fit the definition of an "Uncle Tom" a black need only to be considered to be subservient to or to curry favor with whites. Like it or not, a man such as, for example, Clarence Thomas fits that interpretation.

Christ, well, if this is where the left is at intellectually these days, the right's got a bright future ahead of it.

Mods, are we really going to tolerate racialist trolling of this variety?
