Actually seems pretty reasonable to me. Go Tom.

Well said Tom! Well said!

Tom Scott did a game show on what amounts to a mini version of this. It worked pretty well!

Crazy to think someone thinks recognizing obstacles non whites face that whites don't is somehow claiming racial superiority, and saying blacks can never reach the status of whites. What?!?

It's really a recognition that those who do achieve greatness (on average) had to work harder to achieve it, not a statement that greatness is unachievable. What drivel.

I'm guessing most of the black people shown are closer to Uncle Ruckus than Uncle Toms. I really can't see them being labeled race traitors just because they personally don't experience racism....more likely they proclaim it doesn't exist.

Those are good points. There is definitely a slightly frightening overreaction in US society. That is unfortunately what happens when society is polarized and segregated - it can be difficult to find a way back (it was better than today in the 80s and 90s). It might help to find ways to promote mixed political platforms (instead of the "wheres my black guy?" party).

Anyhow this Uncle Tom thing looks like a biased project, trying to hang the racist sticker on democrats and being very liberal with the word "liberal".

i understand bsr concerns. if don says go forward: stop. he's like a moral windsock. the direction of the right decision will always be the opposite of the way he points.

talking about this f***ing idiot will induce using "f***ing" too much. but f***ing isn't even a word when discussing him - it's a comma.*

vote out racism is a bit overstated. the orange play-doh is only one in a mob. tom cotton will still be there. too many others. but a good move in the right direction - which, ironically is left.

So, now we're starting minority report style precrime, but without precogs or even Tom Cruise? We'll just pre-arrest any people we think might commit crimes before they commit them...allegedly so they can "hold them accountable" for the crimes they didn't yet even attempt to commit?
I wonder how they think that's going to go at arraignment, or has habius corpus been secretly suspended too?

@bobknight33, please tell us how is the far right going to defend this one? Untrained secret police "arresting" citizens proactively.
Just pretend he didn't say it and it isn't happening, or that "proactive arrests" means something else besides arresting people proactively, in anticipation of future problems....or is government sanctioned kidnapping without charges fine if Trump says so?

This video is for anyone who claims blacks can't be racist....just find one who's a republican and prove yourself wrong. Fortunately that was only 8% of them 4 years ago, likely <1/2 that today.
So dishonest @bobknight33 , this is a few self loathing individuals, not the black community. A few bad apples. Not uncle Toms, but uncle Ruckuses.

It's also chock full of *lies like the claim that only blacks are killing blacks, never whites.

Not worth my time, I won't watch enough of this drivel to justify casting a downvote.

Fuckin'-A right upvote for Tom Waits!

Upvote for Tom Waits.
