Rush Limbaugh's Calling African Americans Who Voted For Thad Cochran "Uncle Toms"- Did He Correctly Use That Term?
Posted on 19:39 by mukhiya
Edited by Azizi PowellI happened to read an article about Republican radio commenter Rush Limbaugh's use of the term "Uncle Tom" in his show today to refer to African Americans who voted for Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran in his run off election with state Senator Chris McDaniels. I wondered if Limbaugh and his listeners know what "Uncle Tom" means when it is used to refer to a Black man or a Black woman. And if so, I wonder if Limbaugh correctly Limbaugh used that term.Here's an excerpt of that article: From http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/tea-party-chris-mcdaniel-voter-fraud-democrats-black-voters-thad-cochran...
