The fact is that even a reporter on FOX news is able to see that that is a blatantly racist statement made by Nader (whom I used to respect) and probably is the end of his career. I couldn’t understand why people do this stuff to themselves with cameras around all the time, but now I see that they don’t understand understand why it’s racist. They don’t know why they are saying what they are saying.

If a white man ran on a platform, or billed himself as someone who has looked out for the poor his entire career, and had a record similar to Obama’s what would Nader call him?? Not an Uncle Tom. Nope. He wouldn’t have even thought of that term. He thought of it, and chose to use that word to describe what Obama ‘was in danger of becoming’ because he is black. No other reason. That’s the only time the phrase comes up is to describe a black man in that situation. Not a man, but specifically a black man. And it is a hurtful and shameful term for a black man to be called.

When such bright people show another side of them like Nader did here, it really disappoints me. I find it hard to respect him at all now.

lol I had to google it too because not many people use that phrase, now I know why

the guy said “not at all” damn, he just pretty much said on national tv that he is a racist and doesn’t care….Nader is done
