Whats sad is Uncle Tom should NOT be a derogatory term. It originated in a novel. Tom refused to help the white man find 2 slaves who ran away. He was then beaten to death by his master. He was a (fictional) Hero.
And how about some fun facts. I like to tell people to remember this when they're watching movies like Django.
No republican ever owned a slave. (the party was in fact formed to stop it)
Republicans in the SOUTH voted to end slavery.
Democrats in the NORTH voted to continue slavery.
Slavery was not based on race. There were Asian and White slaves as well.
There are more slaves today than ever before, with EVERY Muslim country still holding OPEN LARGE slave markets.
