Politics: DNC Aide Called ‘Uncle Tom’ … Ready To Fight
August 27th, 2008Delegate is called “Uncle Tom” … ready to fight.
What did you call me?! Democratic National Convention Committee press secretary Delmarie Cobb was ready to fight after being called an “Uncle Tom.” Cobb said the racially loaded slur came from Illinois Senate President Emil Jones while discussing her support for Clinton Saturday night. “I was called an ‘Uncle Tom’ by Emil Jones in the lobby of the hotel, right in front of aldermen Freddrenna Lyle, Leslie Hairston and Latasha Thomas,” Cobb, a member of Clinton’s Illinois Steering Committee, told The Chicago Sun-Times. “I walked over to him and asked him, ‘What did you just call me?’” Jones, who is also Black, denies the slur. He says he was referring to Cobb and other Clinton supporters as “doubting Thomases.” But Cobb doubts that explanation. She says when she confronted Jones, he did not indicate that she had misunderstood him. Cobb told the newspaper that those are “fighting words” and unacceptable.

UMLAW….To many rice cakes tonight he is starting to brake apart. I love Asians they cook for me everyday and sometimes they love me long time. no disrespect I mean this in a positive way.
This is getting boring and annoying. STOP USING MY SCREEN NAME COWARD. People know you’re an impostor…i don’t write like that. Try to make sense, and use proper grammar if you’re gonna play it off like i wrote it…idiot.
You’re a coward.
Lynn: you’re a flat out racist. An uneducated/semi-illiterate racist at that.
Lynn I know this is you! This is getting boring and annoying. STOP USING MY SCREEN NAME COWARD.WAIT A MINUTE! It was me, yes it me all along. Yes, I UMLaw wrote all of this. I am lazy, and I am insecure. Why is everybody picking on me, and why hasn’t sharonda applied for food stamps. I need help, and I need a life. Sike your mike, it was the asian dude. i don’t write like that. Try to make sense, and use proper grammar if you’re gonna play it off like i wrote it…idiot. Oh no, help me!
You’re a coward.
David,
Stop drinking before you post!
I believe UMLAW is eithier bipolor, or has a split personality. First, you write the blog, then you deny it, they you claim it is somebody else, then you admit to it. Please get some help fast???
On here anyone can use any name the decide to type in. Wake up people. If someone was going to post racist comments they would have been doing it from the beginning with their first post. You should be able to tell when someone else if trying to smear someone name esp when they wont even use complete sentences.
The Truth Speaker,
It’s not a matter of waking up. What made that situation so strange is that the real UMlaw does make a lot of negative comments against blacks and comes off as racist. I don’t know if it’s the way he says things or if he is truly a racist. Stay tuned and look at the slant /bias on all his posts when it relates to race or even go back and look at some over the past few months. Some of us regulars really were confused the other day. We have heard most of that stuff from him at one time or another in his posts so it was easy to believe it was him. But the next day that was really bizarre. Start reading his comments…unless you have issues with black people….you’ll see what I mean.
