Today's uncle tom doesn't wear a handkerchief on his head. this modern, twentieth-century uncle thomas now often wears a top hat. he's usually well-dressed and well-educated. he's often the personification of culture and refinement. the twentieth-century uncle thomas sometimes speaks with a yale or harvard accent. sometimes he is known as professor, doctor, judge, and reverend, even right reverend doctor. this twentieth-century uncle thomas is a professional negro -by that i mean his profession is being a negro for the white man.

Just as uncle tom, back during slavery used to keep the negroes from resisting the bloodhound or resisting the ku klux klan by teaching them to love their enemies or pray for those who use them despitefully, today martin luther king is just a twentieth-century or modern uncle tom or religious uncle tom, who is doing the same thing today to keep negroes defenseless in the face of attack that uncle tom did on the plantation to keep those negroes defenseless in the face of the attack of the klan in that day.

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

You have the upper class negroes who are the modern day uncle toms or the 20th century uncle toms. they don't wear a handkerchief anymore. they wear top hats. they're called doctor, they're called - reverend, but they're still - they play the same role today that uncle tom played on the plantation.

They all broke the rules. they all crossed into forbidden territory. they all tampered with the laws that lay down who should be loved and how. and how much. the laws that make grandmothers grandmothers, uncles uncles, mothers mothers, cousins cousins, jam jam, and jelly jelly. it was a time when uncles became fathers, mothers lovers, and cousins died and had funerals. it was a time when the unthinkable became thinkable and the impossible really happened.
