Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI absolutely despise the term "Uncle Tom"...
But if I EVER had to describe the perfect example,
It would be Clarence Thomas. Traitor to his own race, traitor to Loving v Virginia, traitor to justice for those who need justice.
Fuck you Clarence & Ginni, right in your most sensitive orifices with a prickly pear cactus.
