"The original "Uncle Tom",

Rev. Josiah Henson and wife; Dresden ,Canada (c1907)

Josiah Henson (June 15, 1789 – May 5, 1883) was an author, abolitionist, and minister. Born into slavery in Charles County, Maryland, he escaped to Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1830, and founded a settlement and laborer's school for other fugitive slaves at Dawn, near Dresden in Kent County. Henson's autobiography, The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself (1849), is widely believed to have inspired the character of the fugitive slave, George Harris, in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), who returned to Kentucky for his wife and escaped across the Ohio River, eventually to Canada. Following the success of Stowe's novel, Henson issued an expanded version of his memoir in 1858, Truth Stranger Than Fiction. Father Henson's Story of His Own Life (published Boston: John P. Jewett & Company, 1858). Interest in his life continued, and nearly two decades later, his life story was updated and published as Uncle Tom's Story of His Life: An Autobiography of the Rev. Josiah Henson (1876).

Josiah Henson was born on a farm near Port Tobacco in Charles County, Maryland. When he was a boy, his father was punished for standing up to a slave owner, receiving one hundred lashes and having his right ear nailed to the whipping-post, and then cut off. His father was later sold to someone in Alabama. Following his family's master's death, young Josiah was separated from his mother, brothers, and sisters.His mother pleaded with her new owner Isaac Riley, Riley agreed to buy back Henson so she could at least have her youngest child with her; on condition he would work in the fields. Riley would not regret his decision, for Henson rose in his owners' esteem, and was eventually entrusted as the supervisor of his master's farm, located in Montgomery County, Maryland (in what is now North Bethesda). In 1825, Mr. Riley fell onto economic hardship and was sued by a brother in law. Desperate, he begged Henson (with tears in his eyes) to promise to help him. Duty bound, Henson agreed. Mr. R then told him that he needed to take his 18 slaves to his brother in Kentucky by foot. They arrived in Daviess County Kentucky in the middle of April 1825 at the plantation of Mr. Amos Riley. In September 1828 Henson returned to Maryland in an attempt to buy his freedom from Issac Riley.

He tried to buy his freedom by giving his master $350 which he had saved up, and a note promising a further $100. Originally Henson only needed to pay the extra $100 by note, Mr. Riley however, added an extra zero to the paper and changed the fee to $1000. Cheated of his money, Henson returned to Kentucky and then escaped to Kent County, U.C., in 1830, after learning he might be sold again. There he founded a settlement and laborer's school for other fugitive slaves at Dawn, Upper Canada. Henson crossed into Upper Canada via the Niagara River, with his wife Nancy and their four children. Upper Canada had become a refuge for slaves from the United States after 1793, when Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe passed "An Act to prevent further introduction of Slaves, and to limit the Term of Contracts for Servitude within this Province". The legislation did not immediately end slavery in the colony, but it did prevent the importation of slaves, meaning that any U.S. slave who set foot in what would eventually become Ontario, was free. By the time Henson arrived, others had already made Upper Canada home, including African Loyalists from the American Revolution, and refugees from the War of 1812.

Henson first worked farms near Fort Erie, then Waterloo, moving with friends to Colchester by 1834 to set up a African settlement on rented land. Through contacts and financial assistance there, he was able to purchase 200 acres (0.81 km2) in Dawn Township, in next-door Kent County, to realize his vision of a self-sufficient community. The Dawn Settlement eventually prospered, reaching a population of 500 at its height, and exporting black walnut lumber to the United States and Britain. Henson purchased an additional 200 acres (0.81 km2) next to the Settlement, where his family lived. Henson also became an active Methodist preacher, and spoke as an abolitionist on routes between Tennessee and Ontario. He also served in the Canadian army as a military officer, having led a African militia unit in the Rebellion of 1837. Though many residents of the Dawn Settlement returned to the United States after slavery was abolished there, Henson and his wife continued to live in Dawn for the rest of their lives. Henson died at the age of 93 in Dresden, on May 5, 1883.

by Eunice G. Pollack and Stephen H. Norwood

Many Arabs stressed that even before "Zionist ... pretensions" threatened the "happy relationship" between Muslims and Jews, it had been disrupted by the imposition of European colonial rule.[13] They informed their Western audiences that Jews had "enjoyed all the privileges and rights of citizenship" before colonialism introduced an "artificial separation" between Muslim and Jew. A Moroccan political leader insisted that for this reason the Jews had "welcomed" the overthrow of colonial rule and the return of "Arabization" and the establishment of the independent Muslim nation.[14]

Contrary to the Arabs' contentions, however, it was the colonial powers that had extended citizenship (e.g., Algeria in 1870), equality or near-equality (e.g., the French Protectorate in Morocco, 1912–1956) to the Jews, liberating them at last from their status as subjugated, humiliated dhimmis, and ending the oppressive jizya, the tribute always exacted by the Muslims. Thus Jews had strongly endorsed the colonial presence, generally embracing modern European education and culture.[15] It was under British occupation (1882–1922) that Jews in Egypt felt safest. Notably, under Islamic rule, it was only the Ottoman Empire that, in an effort to secure European support—and modern weapons—issued an Imperial Edict (1856) that, in theory, extended equal rights to all its subjects. In practice, however, Ottoman governors (pashas) confined themselves to collecting taxes, while local rulers and the populace—for example, the Mamluks in Egypt—continued to persecute, pillage, and impose additional "heavy levies" on the Jews. Thus most Jews not only supported European colonial rule, but feared the independence movements, with the threat of return to their earlier subordinate "social, political and economic" positions.[16]

Islamic Myths about Jews' Inherent Traits

Arab commentators readily dismissed over two centuries of travelers' accounts and investigative reports that belied their claims about the conditions and contentment of Jews under Islamic rule. They simply turned to another hoary myth in order to protect their current fable. The Arabs discarded all the testimony that contradicted their narrative, explaining that it had been derived largely from Jews, whom the Qur'an characterized as congenitally deceitful, never to be trusted.[17]

At times, political and religious leaders conceded that the Jews in Muslim lands had been relentlessly subjugated, relying on another large cache of myths, drawn or extrapolated from the Qur'an, to sanctify their abasement of those they now identified as "the dogs of humanity." Indeed, from the earliest years of Islam, Muslims had understood that "their deadliest enemies were the Jews."[19] They were the only people cursed in the Qur'an, whom Allah had promised "degradation in this world and a mighty chastisement in the next world." Muslim theologians recognized that the Jews were "like germs of a malignant disease where one germ is sufficient to eliminate an entire nation." But, they taught, "the Holy Qur'an ... constitutes the microscope through which we can see the pests and poisons that reside in their minds and hearts." Thanks to Qur'anic lessons on how to subdue the Jews, the Muslims were "the only people on earth to tolerate them" in their midst.[20]

Citing the Qur'an, prominent Muslim educators portrayed the Jews as driven throughout their history to bring "blind sedition ... and intrigue in any land or community where they happened to live." Some suggested that this was likely "why the Israelites ... were so detested by all surrounding tribes."[21] Others explained that "the Jews themselves have not changed" because, "according to ... their false Torah," they "are required to stir war with their neighbors once they have the opportunity to do so." Some added that the Jews often preferred to deploy "conspiracies, plots, intrigues [and] sedition" because they were inherently "cowards and could not openly face their enemy."[22]

Not acknowledging a contradiction, many spokesmen insisted that "the Jews have always been criminal aggressors." Jews claim that they are victims, "subjected [throughout] their long history" to "oppression and persecution" "for no other reason than their being followers of Moses." In truth, "the hatred felt by various peoples ... for Jews was not due to their belief, but their ... unchangeable behavior, always based on exploitation, ingratitude and evil-doing in return for kindness." That is, the "criminal aggressors" only deceptively identify as innocent victims.[23] Educators taught that the Jews are "avaricious, ruthless, cruel, hypocritical and revengeful. These traits govern their lives." They point out that the Qur'an warned that, if permitted, the Jews would "become great tyrants." They conclude: "No good is expected of them unless they live under the aegis of Islam as loyal and obedient subjects." Then the Muslims "will treat them ... tolerantly." "Islamic tolerance is," after all, in complete contrast to "Jewish intolerance and cruelty."[24]

Investigation has been launched into claims that the Daily Mail engaged in Blackface ghost-writing by attaching names of Black commentators to racist articles they had not written.

The probe by Byline Investigates and Expose News follows the revelation by whistleblower Dominique Samuels that she had consented to a case of ghost-writing and rejected another request from Daily Mail staff. Regular columnist Nana Akua, who is also a GB News presenter, blocked a Twitter/X user who asked whether any of her articles had been ghost-written for her. Esther Krakue, a Talk TV presenter, has also been asked the question but is yet to respond.

The Daily Mail is being accused of what is labeled by many people as "racism laundering". A term used to describe the phenomenon where people of oppressed groups are used in media, mainly right wing and conservative, to minimize, apologize or promote harmful and bigoted narratives and beliefs, and therefore validating to the average person or even full on bigot that they don't have anything to be ashamed of when it comes to whatever regressive opinion they have.

Right wing pundit Dominique Samuels revealed that many articles that had her as a author weren't actually written by her, but actually already had been written by, as of yet, unknown sources who have enough self awareness to know what they are saying borders on racism so they just pay whatever minority necessary to have a garbage opinion paraded around by "one of the good ones".

Dominique's main motive for her whistle blowing seems to be in retaliation to or at least examplified by what can be called a seasonal "outrage fest", as she calls it, by media against the Notting Hill Carnival, a festival meant to celebrate Caribbean heritage which began as a celebration of the emancipation of black slaves, Samuels claiming she was asked to be the face of a article she claims "verged on racist" for last year on 2022.

After being asked, Dominique also exposes that her image was used in one of the (possibly) hundreds of article attacking Meghan Markle, further clarifying that her reasoning for accepting these bizarre offers was that in general most guest columns are already ghost written, however, after having done this many times for the Daily Mail, Samuels claims once again she felt that the coverage of the Carnival by the Mail was the last straw for her.

Right wing media pays minorities to be tokens and Uncle Tom's to validate and save face for bigotry?!?

Suella Braverman (left: xenophobic, classist, and Nazi levels of disablist, etc), and Kemi Badenoch (right: homophobic, transphobic, racism enabler, classist etc) Two of the candidates for the next Tory UK PM.

This is an issue on both sides of the Atlantic, and beyond:

Some of the most extreme, fascist, capitalist, racist, xenophobic, anti-lgbtq and disablist politicians now are from "minorities".

This is of course deliberate.

People with a shallow, uncritical perception will welcome such people because they're "non-white", "women" etc. Of course it's generally centrists who'll fall for this garbage.

Oh look...

I wish I could remember where I once read the suggestion that Hugo’s characterization of Jean Valjean might have been influenced by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s characterization of Uncle Tom.

It’s been a long time since I read Uncle Tom’s Cabin, but from what I remember of it, and if Hugo really did read it, then I wouldn’t be surprised if that claim was true. I wish Stowe’s book hadn’t been hijacked by racist stage adaptations that gave the phrase “Uncle Tom” its current meaning. Then the character of Tom could be remembered as the Jean Valjean-like figure she meant him to be: a quietly strong, pious man who lives a life full of hardship and social injustice, but who resists the temptations of bitterness and hate, and instead constantly helps, protects, and sacrifices for others.

(I’m not saying there’s nothing problematic about Tom – he was written by a white woman pre-Civil War, and he probably is more of a Christlike paragon than a three-dimensional human being – but he’s not a subservient stereotype!)

At any rate, if that suggestion is true, then all the more reason for a modern Les Mis adaptation to cast a black man in the role of Valjean!

Among Kanye’s West’s defenders, the thinking goes like this: He is a genius, a freethinker, an elevated conscience. They may not like or agree with everything he does, but they applaud the man.

There is a cult of Kanye, and I came to the opinion long ago that our society confers a special allure on cults, particularly when they are tied not to religion but to pop culture or politics. In those arenas, they feel fun, innocent, like rooting together for a favorite team.

So I’m not here to argue about whether West is a genius, although when people refer to themselves as such, it tends to undercut the appellation.

This newspaper itself has repeatedly called West a genius, so it would behoove him, I suppose, to run with the branding.

But it has always seemed to me that West is aching to be considered a modern Mozart: the tortured genius. Of course, Mozart was a genius beyond dispute, but the idea that he was a tortured one may be a myth. As Jan Swafford wrote in his book “Mozart: The Reign of Love”:

“While Mozart had his share of sorrow and loss and frustration like the rest of us, he was fundamentally a happy man. He wrote for public consumption, which is to say that he was a professional in a way few composers are anymore. Still, on the whole he did what he wanted to do the way he wanted to, and when he was done he didn’t worry overmuch about what the public thought of it.”

West is no Mozart. West is a brooding, narcissistic attention addict and praise junkie. He attends his torture. He curates and employs it. Some of it may come naturally, but some is manufactured, to enlarge the legend.

I will let others debate whether his talents as an artist, which are remarkable, rise to that of genius. I want to focus instead on West as a cultural chaos agent, as a purveyor of dangerous politics. In this arena, he is no genius; he is a gussied-up gimmick. West’s latest brushes with thoughtless provocation came this weekend when he was kicked off Twitter and other social-media platforms for a series of antisemitic posts. But as noted, these are merely his latest brushes with thoughtless provocation.

West is often described as a “freethinker,” but in the political space, he isn’t. He’s simply a Black artist willing to regurgitate conservative — sometimes bordering on white supremacist — talking points as if they were his own.

Coming from the mouth of an international superstar, a rapping fashion designer, oppression starts to sound like freedom to those who shy away from or openly reject a serious analysis of politics and current affairs.

Last week, West caused a firestorm by wearing a “White lives matter” shirt at his fashion show in Paris. The Anti-Defamation League labels “White lives matter” a “white supremacist phrase” and has written that, since 2015, “white supremacists in several states, especially members of the Texas-based white supremacist group Aryan Renaissance Society, have promoted the slogan” as part of “a loose campaign to popularize the phrase.”

Well, last week, West gave the white supremacists a boost.

West is the same man who in 2013 was selling merchandise with Confederate flags on tour. As he explained to a radio station that year about people’s appalled reactions:

“Any energy is good energy. The Confederate flag represented slavery in a way. That’s my abstract take on what I know about it, right? So I wrote the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag now.”

Kanye pitches it as co-option, but it is, in fact, basic shock-value antics that promote and normalize anti-Black hate symbols.

There is nothing genius about this. It is bargain basement exploitation. As West put it himself, “any energy is good energy,” which is just an almost spiritual, if jargony, way of reinterpreting what Oscar Wilde wrote in “The Picture of Dorian Gray” in the late 1800s: “There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” The spirit of that idea led to “all publicity is good publicity.”

After the latest outcry over the “White lives matter” shirt he wore at Fashion Week, West continued his publicity seeking by going on Fox News to elaborate. The interview was a jumble of themes in which he attempted to weave together godliness, artistic inspiration, personal persecution, disdain for institutions, anti-abortion talking points, an inversion on the ideas around racism and his support for Donald Trump. You know, core ideas of the modern right wing.

West says of the shirt, “The answer to why I wrote ‘White lives matter’ on a shirt is because they do.” He plays oblivious to the obvious.

West is the same man who said in 2015 that “racism is a dated concept,” and that “it’s like a silly concept that people” use “to separate, to alienate, to pinpoint anything. It’s stupid.”

He is the same man who said in a TMZ interview in 2018: “You hear about slavery for 400 years. For 400 years? That sounds like a choice. Like, you was there for 400 years, and it’s all of y’all?”

West later apologized for the slavery comments, but even in the apology he could not control his narcissism, saying: “You know in a relationship, maybe somebody will do something just to see if you still love them. One thing that I got from the TMZ comment is it showed me how much Black people love me, and how much Black people count on me and depend on me. And I appreciate that.”

None of this, in the political sphere, is genius. It’s shallow and dull. Kanye is just a Black man who discovered Black conservatism and thinks it’s enlightenment. There is nothing complex or mysterious about it. He’s a Black man parroting white supremacy, while far too many brush it off, continue dancing to his music, and wear his clothes.

West is a Black man sampling vintage anti-Black racism, remixing and releasing it under a new label: the tortured Black genius.

Sarah Haider: Freedom of Religion Means Respecting the Right To Be Without It

I am the co-founder of Ex-Muslims of North America, which advocates for acceptance of religious dissent and aims to reduce discrimination faced by those who have chosen to leave Islam.

It is not often an easy choice. I have heard thousands of stories from hundreds of people.

A few have been able to leave with little consequence, maintaining relationships with their families and friends. But for most this was hardly the case.

Our journeys have seen tremendous struggle. Some “merely” lose friends and family. Others risk their health and mental well-being by being locked in psychiatric wards to enduring physical violence from all of their family members.

A few don’t make it at all, being held hostage or lost in honor killings.

But despite these struggles that those who believe in civil liberties and tolerance ought to be horrified by, my community has encountered difficulty finding support here in North America. I and many of my colleagues and other ex-Muslims have been accused of being “hate-mongers.”

I have personally been called an “Uncle Tom” and “House Arab,” and I’m not even Arab!

There is an instinct to pigeon-hole anyone who says something negative about Islam, even when it’s from the perspective of our own lived experience; to broadly label them in such a way that nearly guarantees most will ignore what we have to say.

When Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an ex-Muslim hero of mine who survived extreme danger to escape to the West from Somalia, was invited to receive an honorary degree at Brandeis University, student outrage at her alleged “anti-Muslim bigotry” led to the event’s cancellation.

Similar cancellations have happened to other ex-Muslims, including Maryam Namazie at Trinity College.

Ex-Muslims are not anti-Muslim bigots; those of us who criticize or reject the religion of Islam do so because we want to protect the safety of people who were raised Muslim, and wish to have self-determination over how they live their lives.

Many well-intentioned people do not see the ways in which Muslims questioning their religion, even here in the West, are forbidden that self-determination.

Take the case of Yasmin Seweid, a young hijabi woman from Long Island, New York. In a case covered by several media outlets, Seweid filed a report claiming that three men attacked her on the subway, attempting to yank off her hijab while yelling “Donald Trump” and calling her a terrorist.

Later, it was revealed that Seweid had made the whole incident up.

Hate-crime hoaxes are not uncommon, but they should not be used to discredit the existence of genuine hate crimes against Muslims.

In this case, however, Seweid’s motivations were not simply to easily garner some attention. According to police sources Seweid made up the story “because she didn’t want to get in trouble for breaking the curfew after being out late drinking with friends.”

Later, Seweid was pictured in court with a shaved head, allegedly a punishment by her parents for dating a Christian. Seweid’s case shows the complexity of the pressures facing Muslims, particularly Muslim women.

Yes, some may face aggression by bigots for their religious garb, but we should consider that for far too many women in Muslim households, the refusal to dress in accordance with religious traditions imposed on them is the much more likely risk. For Seweid, wearing the hijab was not a choice.

I sympathize with the fear of critiquing Islam when there are many in the West who would wish to restrict the rights of Muslims to voluntarily wear the hijab or otherwise voluntarily practice their religion.

The intelligent response to this fear, however, is to stand up for civil liberties, and a culture where all people are treated with dignity and respect.

We need to make a clear distinction between criticizing the faith, and demonizing the faithful.

Let me be clear - I don’t think anyone - even those who hate my apostasy should be silenced - what I ask for is that we stand up for the right to speak for everyone, including both those that stand with us and even those that call for the death of disbelievers.

This is what ex-believers like myself from all religions ask for: the freedom to be ourselves. Please stand with us.

Let’s not let our empathy for the oppression of one group excuse the oppression of another.

Join me in protecting the civil rights of everyone, regardless of their religion or lack thereof, at FairForAll.org

==

Freedom of religion and freedom from religion are the same thing.

Kanye West doesn't care about Black People

Kanye West famously uttered on a telethon set up to collect funds for Hurricane Katrina victims "George Bush doesn't care about Black People" in response to scant rescue and recovery efforts right next to Mike Myers (who agreed with his statements). He would later retract those statements and apologize to George W. Bush.

Well the same can be said about Kanye West now.

Kanye West doesn't care about Black People.

Since that epic moment in September of 2005 (I watched it as it happened, I was 21 and a senior in college at the time), Kanye West has become a bigger star and a bigger disappointment.

Fast forward past Kanye West adorning Confederate flag gear for his Yeezus album merchandise in 2013, wearing a MAGA hat and saying Trump is his brother then taking a picture with him in 2018, saying slavery was a choice and getting checked by Van Lathan, denigrating Harriet Tubman and other disrespectful crap, to 2022. Where Kanye West says that George Floyd died due to the fentanyl in his system and not from race soldier Derek Chauvin's knee on his neck on the Drink Champs podcast with Noreaga and DJ EFN (which considering everything going on with Kanye is insanely irresponsible platforming).

The cypher is complete, Kanye West has become a complete fucking sellout that's hellbent on throwing Black People under the bus for White Validation. Whether that white validation comes from rich and wealthy White European fashion designers that he holds up plates for while Kim Kardashian films it for social media, from white racist republican figureheads like Tucker Carlson for which he did an interview with where he talked about his "white lives matter" t-shirts (ofcourse the number one proponent of the racist replacement theory in the mainstream, which has already led to radicalizing another white racist who took the lives of over a dozen Black folk in a supermarket in Buffalo, would love to hear a Black Man talk about how "white lives matter"), or white Trump supporters who he virtue signals to with his anti-semetic musings and Candace Owens supplied talking points.

Kanye's Antiblackness: What No One Is Talking About

Kanye’s Antiblackness: What No One Is Talking About

Guess everyone has totally forgotten how Kanye threw us (BLACK FOLKS) under the bus! Some of y’all act like Kanye is just so innocent! The same Kanye that: attempted to give legitimacy to a FAKE “movement” White Lives Matter, the same one who said BLACK LIVES MATTER is a “scam”, the Kanye who just bought one of the most RACIST social networks on earth, Parler. I know because I have an account.…
