I was in a conversation on a different platform when someone used the term "Uncle Toms" to describe minorities that voted for Republicans. Believing that this was a derogatory term to use against minorities, I asked them why they would call them that. They basically said the term wasn't derogatory. What do people think? Is this term racist, derogatory, or not?
Where are you from that you haven’t heard that term before?
Derogatory? Sure. Accurate though? Probably.
When 90% of African Americans have consistently voted Democrat for over 40 years running there are only two conclusions you can draw. One, Democrats are better for black people than Republicans are. Two, black people are stupid. If you believe that it's number two, then you are by definition a racist. If you yourself are black, and you still gravitate towards #2 then every other African American in the country has every right to be disgusted with you and to say so.

First, not it actually isn't. Even if you're wealthy it's not actually in your own best interest to vote Republican. That's just what short sited stupid people think.voting Republican is in their best interest.
When you make a choice to directly benefit yourself at the expense of millions of people who are hurting much much worse than you that is called greed. Cruelty. It's not okay, and you don't get to excuse it by saying it's just politics and opinions. If you're socially conservative(ie Christian) you should know that Greed is one of the seven deadly sins.I don't see a reason to hate either. Politics is not a one issue thing and different stuff is more or less important to different people.

False... Blacks voted democrat when the democrats were/are the party of the KKK anyway...Derogatory? Sure. Accurate though? Probably.
When 90% of African Americans have consistently voted Democrat for over 40 years running there are only two conclusions you can draw..
False Dichotomy Fallacy. I can think of many other conclusions for why African Americans tend to vote Democrat, including that they may enjoy receiving government handouts, that they may PERCEIVE Democrats as better for them, that the false re-writing of American History influences them, and so on... It goes well beyond just those two options...When 90% of African Americans have consistently voted Democrat for over 40 years running there are only two conclusions you can draw. One, Democrats are better for black people than Republicans are. Two, black people are stupid.
Correct. One would be committing a Composition Fallacy, in this case Racism, because it deals with both people and genetics.If you believe that it's number two, then you are by definition a racist.
Not only ever other African American, but every other person... No matter if it is a black person or a white person making claim #2, they are asserting a Composition Fallacy, in this case, Racism.If you yourself are black, and you still gravitate towards #2 then every other African American in the country has every right to be disgusted with you and to say so.

It's calling someone a traitor to their race.How is that not derogatory. To a certain degree it could be considered racist because the term assumes a black person is suppose to act and behave a certain way.

Other..... content always matters and most things are circumstantial...
its not racist because it doesnt apply to a whole race, i guess if somebody used it in a way to refer to a whole race it could be but typically by definition this is an individual tag
as for derogatory, yes it very much can be based on usage and that is the common usage of it but it doenst have to be
in your example it seems derogatory. as it is being used to chastise the people its applied too. But its weird that that same person claimed it was derogatory. Im guessing they dont now what EITHER word means. Uncle tom and derogatory.
