• You shake your head in disgust when you past through the hood

• You hate to say the name Malcolm X

DM; What if I say El Hajj Malik Shabbaz?

What if he was saying, a Pro black African leader whos idealogy would cost the Uncle Tom his well positioned high chair amongst his caucasian friends and co-workers?

• You prefer perfect diction

DM; As opposed to?  Maybe I have perfect diction in Yoruba or Lingala.  Whatever you do you should do well.

Uncle Tom;

''Talk, properly for crying out loud. Stop with that slang and no... Patoi isn't a language. Speak english.''

• You send aid to Africa

Empasis on aid.

• It is your week for the soccer practice carpool

DM; Do you realise how incredibly dumb you are with this?  The world plays football even if your sorry arse doesn't.  I have friends who run entirely black football teams, youth teams etc and have vans that take kids to and from the park.  f**k you fool.  I guess everybody in Africa kicking a ball... like all 99% of African boys are sellouts too?

Its not part of African American culture like it is over here. We seem to have taken to their pansy sport. Which is an adaptation of a game played in Ancient South America. Football is crap. Admit it. Besides that Arsenal rule. BRAP!

• You decided to sell your Jazz and RnB CD collection on eBay

DM; Because CDs are outdated and people have MP3s... 

No. Because MP3s don't carry half the value CDs do and people (like yourself) are selling their CD collections on ebay without thinking. If you have any more left feel free to message my myspace.com page and I'll offer you £5 for the lot which I'll then sell on for £5 each to people who understand the meaning of things like tangibility and value as in economics. From Vinyl to MP3s peoples collections have been degraded to 20p (or less) a track. My soul, Jazz, DVD and other classics are becoming more rare as time goes on btw.

Just so you know.

• You consider yourself to be patriotic

DM; To where?  Many freedom fighters and liberation movements were "patriotic" but I suspect you mean patriotic to a non African nation so I'll let that slide.  But in itself I don't believe that to be the mark of a sellout. Africans been outside Africa for so many generations now it would be irresponsible not to build and claim what they have made as theirs.  Patriotism isn't following a particular transient form of government that is gone in tomorows wind but looking after your own at home.

Another cultural blur, the author is African American. Being patriotic in regards to being American whilst being oppressed makes for a good enough sell out. Pro Condi flags with posters of Collin Powell as though they're doing good for Black people worldwide forgetting about the cutting of school funds and Collin Powells trips to the Carib and South America. 

SBliz: To me an uncle Tom is someone who is contributing to the degradation of our race. To me that is someone who is selling their soul such as the drug dealer, the rapper who gets paid by performing minstrel shows, by making our queens look whorish and who lives by the code of the streets. An uncle tom is someone that will break into your house without a second thought and take everything that you worked hard for.  To me anyone who is not putting their best foot forward and is riding on the coat tail of someone else is an uncle tom and someone who has no problem going to jail to be back with their homies is an uncle tom.  Someone who sits on the steps of a house of worship getting high or drunk (this happens alot) is an uncle tom. These and many of examples are my opinion of what an uncle tom really is.


Couple that with;

DM; If by the hood you mean a place where black folk have no jobs, high drug use and high crime surrounded by oppressive police and expolitation.... Am I supposed to cheer and feel at home?  If you simply mean a neighbourhood with lots of black people you have a point.  But clarify.  Being black is not synonymous with "the hood".

 Whos doing the exploiting? Why are those people out there selling their souls, pimping women, pushing drugs and so on and so forth when America is a rich country and could spend half the money they do on war to fix up their problems at home and when secondly there are plenty of MEGA rich African Americans who could probably buy up Haarlem in a pinch and do a whole heap of good. Like those Uncle Toms it seems like the blame is being shifted to the people who are suffering in all this. This is what was meant by;

• You shake your head in disgust when you past through the hood

I shake my head when I'm in central London watching crakkkers and Uncle Toms snap up products made by companies who don't pay for their goods, understanding that their system (capitalism) is nothing but a well to do system of piracy exploiting people on a constant and causing the situation in the ghettos, heck crime is a by product of capitalism, the residents of those places are from countries rich in natural resources. Can't blame the poor... Unless you're offing some kind of guilt.

Ok, so lets get back to the more funny; ''You're ghetto if...'' jokes and laugh at the brothers and sisters stuck in the ghettos rather than point out that Condi, who we're all so proud of, cut the education budget in certain areas meaning some people won't be able to get a decent education to better themselves... or that Collin Powell made an honest hearted trip to the Carib/South America to make sure that no one tries to rip them off for their Oil/*ins goods / set cost of goods here*, or funds a coup in an attempt to get into power and sign contracts with certain companies because they want the best for their people, just like our ''black'' politicians and peers here in the UK.

Trevor Phillips; Head of a new organisation known as the Commission for Equalities and Human Rights, which will be an organisation promoting equality issues across the full raft of ethnic, gender, sexual-orientation, disability and other minority interests.

Huzzah for Multi-Culturalism. No Uncle Toms here, no... they're all in the ghettos doing drugs and looking lost for some reason.

Obviously see the joke and all, not slating anyone.

Anyway... I'm off.
