Uncle Tom

Someone considered a member of the family who works. Originally considered an endearment and term of respect, it was twisted into a derogatory term in the American civil war in order to create mass unemployment, since the employed were put down and disparaged as "uncle Tom". It worked, as well as the endearment "mammy". Both terms originally used to denote caring and respect were, after the war, denigrating, as well as having a job. Mammies went from respected members of family to unemployed as did "uncle" Tom.
That uncle Tom works for that white man. He should quit and his pride in unemployment can feed his family.
