• Malcolm X was an Uncle Tom!

   

  Y’all ever notice i never used the term Uncle Tom…and ever wondered WHY

  i read Uncle Tom’s Cabin when i was a chile, and methinks Malcolm saw the blackface movie version of the book that freed the slaves…but having just recently finished re-reading Ms Stowes book, it’s obvious that Malcolm never read the book as an adult.

  Great Expectations is mind-bending at seven, romantic at 13, revolutionary at 20…simply a nice story when the calendar say your age is the suggested safe speed limit…YUP, i’m broadcasting from the old fart zone.

  Like Malcolm and Martin, Uncle Tom was the epitome of Black men…a man steeped in his faith, unwilling to sell his brethren down the river to Simon Legree’s Sambo…read the book, a plea i know that will never happen since y’all waiting for the HEologian version
