To call an African American an "Uncle Tom" is to insult him by suggesting he is selling-out to the White race. The origin of the name 'Uncle Tom' is believed to come from the book callled, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Where the main character, Uncle Tom, is initially seen as a noble long-suffering Christian slave.
An Uncle Tom is a black man who overlords slaves or tenant farmers.
