Sorry, this will not be a formal review. For ME, Uncle Tom 2 AND Uncle Tom 1 simply represent confirmation of a reality I lived during the 1950s on the south side of Chicago:
Two hospitals, Black-owned and operated: Provident and Ida Mae Scott Doctors offices, Black-owned and operated Dental offices, Black-owned and operated Two banks [Yes, BANKS], Black-owned and operated An insurance company, Black-owned and operated Two mini-supermarkets, Black-owned and operated Two taxi-cab companies, Black-owned and operated Mom-and-Pop stores, Black-owned and operated Restaurants, such as H&H Restaurant, Black-owned and operated Butcher shops, Black-owned and operated Live poultry shops, Black-owned and operated Television repair shops, Black-owned and operated Ballrooms, Black-owned and operated Barber shops, Black-owned and operated Two-parent families Rare divorce NO GUN VIOLENCE
We NEVER had to leave the community for our needs. ALL needs were fulfilled right in the community. So, what happened? Why is the south side of Chicago, today, internationally known as a war zone? A few reasons:
1.) The over-emphasis on integration (Civil Rights Movement) 2.) The over-emphasis on "rights" (Civil "Rights" Movement) to the exclusion of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEPENDENCE 3.) Communism, although I don't think anyone understood this at all. Now, Uncle Tom II, to quote Black preachers, will "Make it plain!!" if you haven't seen it yet. QUITE astonishing what Uncle Tom II has revealed about the influence of Communism on elements of the Black community.
Can we recover? It looks [I'm sorry to say this] impossible. I'm 72. I've seen the entire trip. So maybe I'm too jaded. But, IF there's ANY HOPE for our people to re-establish our strength and independence, that hope lies in young Black people who STUDY UNCLE TOM AND UNCLE TOM II. That is NOT an over-statement.
Back in the day, we didn't call ourselves "Black conservatives." We just LIVED the conservative life. And we produced. To Black youth I say this: BEFORE you think about organizations [We've had ENOUGH of them], make sure you develop YOURSELF. The first law of nature is self-preservation. May God be with you!!
