Why was Tom such a bitch ass nigga?
>>
>>156171688
>sent innocent black men to prison where they got ass raped
>is himself terrified of getting ass raped
>>
>>156171688
Tom is probably just a nice guy by default, but seeing that movie that made him afraid of anal rape really just affected him his whole life up until S3.
>>
>>156171688
Because he's an unfocused and incoherent representative of several negatively perceived political positions within the Black community about the Black community.
>>
I always did think it was odd how the show never fully leaned in on tom working in law.

His episodes have it as a backdrop but its never the main thing
>>
>>156171688
The threat of ass rape worked, duh.
>>
He was a sell-out to the white establishment.
McGrudger later clarified that the core issue is that Tom is a weenie nerd not that he chose to be as boring, stable and “white” as possible.
That causes him to seek perceived protection by selling out to the white establishment.

>being a normal productive member of society is bad because...white supremacy
>>
>>156172830
you can be a normal productive member of society without being a huge hypocritical pussy faggot
>>
I thought it was funny that his wife was a huge snow bunny who resented the fact that he wasn’t a stereotypical thug black guy.
>>
>>156172854
too bad most people nowadays lean on the latter more than being productive
>>
>>156171688
Hey, say what you will, but at least he won't get anally raped
Although I guess he got closer than most
>>
>>156172830
There's a line between "Being a Successful black guy on your own terms and keeping your idenity and self respect" and "I'm gonna sell out hard to white people so I can get accepted faster; might as well go white face while I'm at it".
>>
>>156173329
Rap culture is shit.
>>
>>156173345
and how does that invalidate his point
>>
>>156171688
>Why was Tom such a bitch ass nigga?
Because the character is a parody of bitch ass niggas. How are you this retarded? The whole show is a parody, did you expect a fucking redemption arc?
>>
IQ above room temp and no chip on his shoulder from being poor like Huey.
>>
>>156173329
>"Being a Successful black guy on your own terms and keeping your idenity and self respect"
One's racial identity or their individual identity?
>"I'm gonna sell out hard to white people so I can get accepted faster; might as well go white face while I'm at it".
Define "selling out".
>>
>>156171688
they based him on your cock OP
>>
>>156173444
For point one, a mix of both. You don't have to be a supremacist to respect your own heritage.

For point two, basically being ashamed for being black, avoiding "stereotypes", If they have a family, they'll be uncomfortable if their kids get into rap or the like.

Maybe calling it "selling out" is too hard or specific, but my point is that Tom, if he had a choice, would happily sell out other black people to the system if it meant he could have suburban comforts.
>>
>>156173329
Yeah they’re both the same only you occasionally do an African larp and pretend people give a shit about black history month and pander to insecure white people who have been brow beaten into a state of permanent insecurity.
>>
>>156173645
Sounds like a you problem. Then again I firmly beleive white people can't ever handle the concept of white guilt.

It's always hard pivots. Either it's Catholic levels of self flagellating guilt, hardcore denial, or comedic racism.
>>
>>156172870
Idk why people keep saying this, Sarah just wanted Tom to be a little more assertive and confident. The other black guys she's into are Usher and Obama, not exactly thuggish ghetto dudes.
>>
>>156173677
I don’t give a fuck about white guilt, I care about some poser retard pretending that he’s got an identity that’s just some bullshit made up by a bunch of retards in the 60s because they didn’t want to admit their only real identity was being the miscegenated byproduct of 400 years of slavery.
>>
>>156173813
I guess that's like a subtle satire? That even if you marry a black person, everyone's going to assume it's because big black cock and not the typical reasons a woman might want a man (Confidence, Assertiveness, Kindess and Empathy, good with kids, can hold a job, etc etc.)

Tom's just a total pushover and weenie. He can hold his job, but only either because he's good at it, or he caves easily and the opposition rewards him because that's more reliable than dealing with a Lawyer with any amount of scruples.

That doesn't seem like selling out. That just seems like common sense. It's logical to throw anyone under the bus, regardless of race, for suburban comforts. The suburbs are based and cozy as fuck.

T. someone who grew up in the suburbs but lives in rural bumb-fuck middle of nowhere and has been striving their entire adult life to return to the suburbs.
>>
>>156171688
Crazy that they made 2 whole anal rape episodes about him.
>>
>>156173881
>It's logical to throw anyone under the bus, regardless of race, for suburban comforts.

I'll make it a point to stand well away from you.
>>
>>156171688
>Tom is bad because he sucks up to the white man
>cant recall any episode where he says more than 15 words to any white guy outside the teacher episode and hes professional the entire time
Really he sucks up to the white woman I guess but a bigger issue is his wife is a horrible woman. Thats not even a racial issue thats more of a gender issue.
>>
>>156171688
uncle tom

Too late. I'm coming for you. I'm coming.
Coming.

>>156173444
I find it fascinating that Americans will call a black who simply doesn't care about stupid bullshit a traitor and a sellout.
>>
>>156174573
Even actual Africans are sick of American black's bullshit. They're their own race at this point.
>>
>>156174573
that's just it though, tom cares a LOT about it and tries way too hard to be the antithesis of it

>Weird Japanese looking character with a brown face
Here, let me fix that
>>
>>156171688
Uncle Ruckus being added to the show took Tom's niche of trying to appeal to white people and being an Uncle Tom, so the only thing they had for Tom to do was be a big bitch pussy
>>
>>156173329
>Selling out hard to white people is when you're a friendly successful family man
>>
>>156174640
Retard
>>
>>156174573
To niggers if you wouldn't shoot a cop to prevent some random thug from getting a misdemeanor for selling drugs you're a sellout bitch
>>
Notice they won't actually give a good answer what's bad about Tom besides his masculinity. Even Aaron McGrudger knew this was in need of clarifying.
>>156172787
>>
>>156172787
I did notice that Tom became more nuanced in later seasons.
>>
>>156171688
blacks are morons and have very little ability to parse information directly over just treating it as team colors for a crabs in a bucket race to the bottom of a social structure.
toms bitch ass is what a lot of dumb hoodlums think questioning the monolith of retardation that is black culture will turn them into.

they typically fail to realize their king of the hill social structure is extremely easy to defraud and jews have installed most of their icons to do just that

huey gets there is a game but fails to realize the rich white guy typically cast as a villian in the series is far from an actual power player in it
>>
>>156173329
Shit like this is why Black people will never outgrow their victim complex. Stop thinking success and stability is a white quality you stupid nigger.
>>
>>156172787
most people lack the ability to actually examine social structures enough to show the math on how they work or who they actually favor and just run off an internal social assumption usually even against massive evidence that assumption is wrong.
racist chuds can and have done that math enough to tell women and browns are immensely favored by all practical means. but these groups social understanding is poor enough ones who believe this usually run right to the exact exact points system does throw the book at them.
blacks run on a petty tyranny belief of social structures that simply refuses to believe the system would let them be remotely as bad as the chuds say unless their bargaining position was way better than the chuds say too.

thing they fail to realize is the system treats treats whites in general poorly enough the ones who either are benefiting or they actually do have leverage on HAVE to be well into the millionaire territory
so they often make fools of themselves trying to use that leverage on whites way too low in the system to owe them or have factioned off into groups openly opposing the ruling class.

rather than realizing this even smarter ones who do know lower class whites suffer in the system believe most are trying to gaslight them constantly and blacks like tom who fall for it are treacherous suckers.

The R. Kelly episode took place primarily in a trial room.
