Who you calling Uncle Tom?
Gives a new meaning to political race.
AP reports: “A black delegate for Hillary Rodham Clinton says she was called an ‘Uncle Tom’ by Illinois Senate President Emil Jones, one of Barack Obama’s political mentors.” You don’t make this stuff up.
Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb says Jones made the remarks Saturday night while discussing her support for Clinton. She called the remark “fighting words” and unacceptable.
Can’t we just all get along?
