Follow-Up to The Race Card

This was my post on the comment board:
This goes out to everyone calling Mr.Whitlock an "Uncle Tom". Apparently,
we should ridicule and chastise anyone that doesn't think, dress, act, or behave
like ourselves. Some of you have even gone as far as to suggest that the likes
of Whitlock, Clarence Thomas, Oprah, etc. should be "done away with" and exiled
from the African American community. I'm pretty sure if everyone had this
mindset, a majority of you making these comments wouldn't be allowed to. For
those of you too simple minded to understand my subtlety, slavery would still be
around today if humans weren't able to accept people for their differences.
Disagree with what Whitlock has to say, argue against him in a clear and
educated way, but to sit there and call him an "Uncle Tom" because he doesn't
agree with what you think is ignorant and demonstrates the reason why prejudice
is still alive today.
