Nowadays, in most of African Americans minds, the negative attitude towards Uncle Tom is dominant. Today, the term “Uncle Tom” has become an insult, conjuring an image of an old black man eager to please his white master and happy to accept his own position of inferiority, a figure from heroic one to inflammatory racial betrayer. People can even find the meaning of the word in all kinds of dictionaries, with mostly negative explanations. This paper analyzes a great many of comments about Uncle Tom, especially negative ones, and presents opinions of several eminent black writers, social historians and critics.
