A brave film that utterly debunks & dismantles the left’s fraudulent, revisionist take on black history.
Having watched, thoroughly enjoyed, and reviewed “Uncle Tom II: An American Odyssey” back in August, I knew it was only a matter of time before I would see the one that started it all (I’m hoping there will be a part three), 2020’s “Uncle Tom.” This one carries even more kilotons of knowledge bombs that the left will either ignorantly demonize (without actually watching it) or completely ignore.
After all, red-pilled black folks who can think for themselves (instead of being perpetual victims as the left wants them to be) is a very frightening proposition for certain nefarious forces out there.
Similar to the second film, this one opens with entrepreneur and master craftsman Chad O. Jackson. As a thoughtful and intelligent, common-sense type of man, he explains that he has always sought to look at things from an objective perspective.
He also believes in policies that not only help black people, but all people. However, when he talks about these more positive matters with leftists, he is called an “Uncle Tom,” because he doesn’t fit in with their radical, irrational, and twisted ideological dogma. This derogatory swipe used to offend him, but now he feels pity for those who resort to such cheap tactics since he knows that they are blinded by their own ignorance and bigotry.
One can look at how Kanye “Ye” West is currently being feverishly rat-packed around the clock by the leftist-controlled lapdog media and their scabrous Hollywood kin, as a perfect example of this.
For a little historical context, the term “Uncle Tom” itself is based on a character from “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” an anti-slavery book published in 1852 by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Being called an “Uncle Tom” means that someone is a sellout, coward, and somehow compromised.
For disciples of the wretched and divisive woke orthodoxy, where leftists are supposed to be perceived as benevolent, just, tolerant, and peaceful, independent black thinkers who won’t bend the knee to their way of thinking are major threats to their narrative and so are slurred, shunned, assaulted, and/or canceled.
Multiple black conservatives chime in with other examples from the leftist grab-bag of racist derogatory terms, such as “coon,” “bootlicker,” and “house negro.”
As with many black people, becoming a conservative was a gradual process for Jackson. For example, he recalls voting for Barack Obama for President of the United States, back in 2008. Around the same time, he became a Christian and began to extol its values. However, a friend of his encouraged him to reexamine what those values—such as taking care of the poor—really meant.
Jackson discovered that the real biblical meaning of helping those in need did not mean providing handouts through big government programs and policies, but rather encouraging individuals to help those in need voluntarily, such as through private charities. Further research, such as learning more about both the Republican and Democratic party platforms, led him to realize that his values aligned with conservative Republicans.
Other black conservatives echo Jackson’s almost epiphanic transformation. After doing their research and delving past the leftist revisionist version of history that is taught in the highly compromised American school system, they learned that the Ku Klux Klan was formed as the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party. The Democrats were also the chief proponents of segregation and slavery.
For these black free thinkers, this knowledge liberated them from the victimhood mentality that leftists constantly bombard black people with. They were able to more fully apply themselves and went after their goals by working hard, seeking higher education, and living by strong ethics and morals (as most blacks had during the first half of the 20th century).
Throughout the rest of the film, black conservatives from all walks of life discuss how the left’s lies and trickery have led black folks (and many other people) astray, and how this is all promulgated through multiple venues and outlets, including the mockingbird corporate media and their endless regurgitations of falsities and disinformation.
These brave and truly awake people, such as Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, Carol Swain, Herman Cain, and (one of my personal favorites) Jesse Lee Peterson, reinforce the notion that anyone who embraces the American ideals of hard work, free market capitalism, and liberty can achieve their dreams, no matter what their skin color.
Also, personal responsibility, individualism and self-reliance, limited government, and strong Christian values are all mentioned as key elements that make America the greatest country in the world.
