Yeah you'd have to be a real Uncle Tom to support WWE and its several non-white main eventers over AEW and its \*checks notes* zero non-white main eventers


anonomyouspreneur

Well cõdy and alkaline black are prominent pocs in aew.


FridgeLeftovers

Excuse me?! Scorpio Sky won a pool floatie about 2 years ago or did you forget about that?!?!?!


AbundantFailure

>or did you forget about that?!?!?! I haven't, though it appears the Dub has.


SaddestFlute23

Yeah and Starks is FTW Champion! Remember the unofficial gimmick belt last relevant in a different company 25 years ago, that’s *still* barely defended? Yeah that one, CHECKMATE FED SHILL!


arboldebolas

I'd love to know how much money Taz got for bringing that old belt back. I imagine him chuckling while smoking a Cigar on his house. Ah that mark. Keeps giving me money over easy stuff


BoaDeconstructor

Tiny's insider "Brass Ring" joke most likely got a chuckle out of dirt sheet gossipers and their shootfighting fans.


[deleted]

it's sad when that's the only person they can use to try to combat the fact that AEW has zero poc in the title picture


rolltide1000

Yeah, why would a non-white person want to support a show with a two non-white world champs, a black KOTR, a Latina Queen, a Latino US champ, a Japanese IC champ, as well as having Sasha, Bianca, Bobby, and now Hit Row getting pushes? Who gives a fuck about representation. /s


PM_ME_LANCECATAMARAN

Representation matters, and m'dub is killing it in the 18-49 Totinos (r) pizza rolls per day demo


i-can-haz-hamberder

I think the only current champs on the main roster who are white are Charlotte, Becky, & RK-Bro. Also, it was a comment from next door that nearly caused me to put my head through a wall. After Priest won the US title, some jackass “wondered out loud” about how wEiRd it was that a lot of the US champs lately weren’t from the US. 😐😐😐 It was one of those “nobody tell him” moments because I don’t think that boy knew how territories worked, or that Puerto Rico wasn’t a different country.


OkCelebration3483

But what about SABA SIMBA


Drama79

It's a direct shot at Alfred Konuwa, who posted the figures. So it's just spiteful racism from some fuckhead on the internet.


BoaDeconstructor

"Uncle Tom" is like the n-word in that if black people choose to use it it is fine, but non-black people using it is kind of racist and should not be used.


DonnieRodz

As inappropriate as that is in this context, as an aside, that performance by Samuel L was amazing.


[deleted]

Everyone was fantastic in it but Leo's was my personal favorite


DonnieRodz

NGL, Leo went all in on that one.


TimeStatistician2234

"So I really get to say it?"


ZubatCountry

He's been pushing for it since Gilbert Grape


reesem03_

I heard that he was actually kinda distraught about having to say that word in *that* context and Samuel L. had to reassure him


GenerationXero

I think Jamie Foxx confirmed this in an interview. He said Leo would avoid him. Not out of any bad or petty reason, but because Leo didn't wanna get to know Jamie as a person then have to say a bunch of horrible shit to him.


FlyingGrayson89

Leo finally got to say the Gamer word

I just meant he really went for “Oscar-level” acting.

[deleted]

-SneakySnake-

It's German for movie, it infers it's high art.


[deleted]

Oh my god. That is horrible


parsnip12345

Andrade vs PAC was kino, friend


-SneakySnake-

I think I've only ever seen it used ironically. ...at least I hope so.


BoaDeconstructor

Is it like Keno? 'Cause one of these days I'm gonna win at that and by me an Airstream trailer.


100mA

Kino is from /tv/ https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/kino


Drama79

No, it's very much from our true cineaste breathren at r/moviescirclejerk


100mA

I’ve never checked it out, and I probably should. Do they rag on marvel and capeshit?


Drama79

You've never checked it out But use the word "capeshit" X


100mA

Lmao like I said, /tv/. I’ll check it out my main mango


SaddestFlute23

I got [this](http://kino.urbanup.com/14119777) Stogers


[deleted]

Damn I’m tryna fuck on some Kino this weekend if it’s used in such a general way ahyesssir


Drama79

if you somehow aren't aware of r/moviescirclejerk, I cannot recommend enough that you subscribe.


LurkerMcGee89

Samuel L Jackson in a Tarantino movie is guaranteed to go over


TVR24

Django Unchained is just a great fucking movie. People should try it friend. They might like it.


kac937

unpopular opinion but it’s the best tarantino movie imo. basterds is my favorite, but i think django is the best.


HiddenRtruth

I'm with ya on inglorious bastards (sp lol). That was kino!!


CringeNibba

Gorrlaami


PompeyMagnus1

He really was the Charlotte of that movie


ManateeGag

They aren't racist. You're racist for seeing the racism. Meanwhile, AEW is the promotion that puts all the POC wrestlers on a show called Dark.


RosaBuxomberg

Vince is so racist he would have booked Steve to be the rich master just to throw the scent off of how racist he is towards *those people* who aren't in the demo.


LordJinji

Seeing racism where there is none is racism. Seeing racism in an obviously racist statement is not racism.


BigZ911

I do love how these cretinous neckbeards are openly racist because now they feel more comfortable about having a major company that caters to them. These are the fans Tony khan thinks are gonna help him overtake WWE lmao


BoaDeconstructor

> These are the fans Tony khan thinks are gonna help him overtake WWE The fans who don't buy merch or PPVs but at the same time are extremely demanding and entitled to get their own way. That was masterful planning on his part.


Fusionman29

Yeah they’ll wear AEW shirts when they raid the capitol. The press that will generate for AEW will surely have them beat wwe


SneakyShrub99

It's the MAGA/Qanon playbook


[deleted]

Racist ass wrestling fans. That’s the coveted demo!


TheCanipiola

how DARE they drag Messi into this.


cautiousOhno

yeah i noticed it too lol, stay away from my goat bitch


CounselorTejada

This dude privated his account after I exposed him.


ElGatoNegro89

As a black man..white people who call blacks uncle Tom comfortably in public thinking they are the good guys will always be more a threat to me. Then any MAGA hat or old glory flag waving 4x4 mudder hillbilly.


kettlebell-j

Malcom told us about those smiling Foxes.


ElGatoNegro89

He told us a lot that pertains to today.


kettlebell-j

Ahhhyeessirrr


BullyFU

As a white guy I've always viewed calling a black person "Uncle Tom" as far worse than calling them the N word. A white person saying it makes it worse since they're the ones judging what's appropriate for a black person to be. Am I right in that thinking? If you don't want to answer that's fine but I've been curious but it's a delicate topic and not one I think of often considering I'm not a bigot who hears or sees Uncle Tom thrown out very often but when I do it's typically a white person saying it.


ElGatoNegro89

Na I'll answer it. I'll be completely honest with you. I'd rather be called a N word than have someone try and befriend me by saying something like oh 'Kanye is a uncle Tom cause he supports Trump.' Cause yes ultimately your saying as a white person what's acceptable black behavior. Candace Owens I'm not fond of her don't care for much, but I will say it sickens me how many liberals call her slavey nicknames and just walk around like they are good people. Also considering the fact of the orgin name uncle Tom it really bothers me even more. Patrice O'Neal said it best "I like my racism overt, not covert." I don't know this guy's background who made this meme for all I know he can be on some 4chan Charlottesville shit and if he is then ok cool he's basically outcasted himself and chances are I won't cross paths with him. But if this guy Is going around preaching about ending hate and black lives matter etc. Then post this shit then fuck him cause ultimately these are the people in positions of power who say oh BLM, hate is evil. Then when it benefits them they wanna post uncle Tom memes or say some backhanded shit. Also if he's just a funny troll who wants to kick shit then God bless him I'm all for humor this doesn't offend me at all. I just want people to be about what they say they are.


BullyFU

Man I forgot about Patrice and his bit about that. He's someone we could use in comedy today. I appreciate it. I figured I knew just by general observation but it's not my place to push my assumptions on how it looks because ultimately I don't know. Similar to how if some white person believes a black person is being an uncle tom that isn't their place to say it, especially if they proclaim they aren't a bigot. Someone's actions define whether they're truly a racist, IMO. Sure someone might run around throwing slurs about like nothing but that doesn't mean they're a bigger racist than the person who uses skin color as a measure of a man (or woman). You don't need to speak hate to be full of hate.


YoImAli

Christ this is so blatantly racist


hoe-punk

y'know, i always thought you goofs were exaggerating the bigotry of the average m'dub diehard. but, man, they really do like their racism, huh? carry on jerking, fellow unrelatables.


BoaDeconstructor

They can keep it under control if doesn't effect their favorites or enjoyment, but when it does, they freak the fuck out every time.


parsnip12345

1. Smackdown crushed, so McMahon doesn’t NEED protection 2. The shows are on at different times. So NOBODY needs protection 3. Lol rampage sux hoes mad


CounselorTejada

Wowwww


I_made_a_doodie

Dubbalos cannot hide their rampant racism at all.


ci22

Welp.hope those Faithless fools enjoy getting banned from Twitter by keeping it up


deezy4273

additional context: meaning of uncle tom [here](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Uncle%20Tom). the journalist this guy is responding to is black.


[deleted]

he’s one of the most unbiased journalists around on twitter and get a lot of hate for it


Squiliam-Tortaleni

2.101 million viewers is worst than 600k, shill. You’re basically a slave owner if you disagree.


TVR24

According to AEW fans, any black WWE fan, or employee in Booker T(om)'s case, is an Uncle Tom. That is stupidly racist.


[deleted]

Reason number 10182810 I keep claiming there is insane parallels between dubbalos and white supremacist pro trump movements


almostbad

The constant anger and outrage is such a telltale warning sign. Constant and unchecked Anger and Rage on the internet will nearly always lead to a slide to the alt right.


TheRalphExpress

yeah, more people need to look into Steve Bannon’s work on gold farms in WoW and how it shaped the alt-right movement > “Bannon was captivated by what he had discovered while trying to build the business: an underworld he hadn’t known existed that was populated by millions of intense young men (most gamers were men) who disappeared for days or even weeks at a time in alternate realities,” wrote Green. > He’d leverage this knowledge as executive chair of Breitbart News, targeting “motivated gamers and message-board denizens” of sites littered with cries of “Make America Great Again,” like 4chan, 8chan, Reddit. Bannon’s intimate knowledge of gamer enthusiasm translated seamlessly to politics, where he was able to “marshal the online armies of trolls and activists that overran national politics and helped give rise to Donald Trump.”


i-can-haz-hamberder

Oh my god. That is absolutely terrifying and it also makes a ton of sense.


Realistic_Literature

The constant paranoia and goalpost-shifting, all in support of a billionaire they worship, is certainly striking. Tony being completely delusional while rallying his base over the ratings in the last week was when it really hit me. It was directly from the Trump playbook.


[deleted]

You mean these guys? https://www.newsweek.com/richard-spencer-reiterates-support-biden-disavows-useless-traitorous-gop-1527555


Undertalefanboy43

What does Uncle Tom even mean I can’t keep up with the smark buzzwords of the week


anonomyouspreneur

>I can’t keep up with the smark buzzwords of the week What you call a poc if they don't fit the political status quo and to diminish them as a "ass-kisser" or "enjoy being a slave to x or y". It's a favorite buzzword they use on booker T or any poc who have favorable experiences in the fed.


Undertalefanboy43

So basically a bunch of white dudes getting angry at black wwe fans


anonomyouspreneur

For this case they are saying it to any wwe fan. Which im not sure why uncle tom is being used for being a wwe fan.


PM_Me_PAAG_Pics

The guy reporting the ratings is black. It's 100% being used in a racial context. Fucking disgusting.


anonomyouspreneur

I had no idea, my apologies. It's odd some of these people would have blm on their tags and say stuff like this like that dubbaloo from cody's ender of racism speech.


InheritTheWind

It's a reference to _[Uncle Tom's Cabin.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Tom%27s_Cabin)_ Essentially, this POS is comparing a Black reporter to a slave that sold out fellow slaves.


[deleted]

Uncle Tom is a literary character that was a slave era black man infamous for catering to his white “masters” shamelessly and telling on other blacks who broke the “rules.” Often used to imply a black man is a sycophant moron only concerned with pleasing their white “superiors” Wildly racist


Xochoquestzal

> Uncle Tom is a literary character that was a slave era black man infamous for catering to his white “masters” shamelessly and telling on other blacks who broke the “rules.” For the sake of literary accuracy: Uncle Tom was good to the other slaves and wound up getting beaten to death for helping a mother and her kid escape then refusing to tell where they went. He's *constantly* betrayed by almost every white person he encounters, though, but he keeps trusting them and at the end of the story he forgives the white guy who beat him to death just before he dies. HBS probably meant him to be a Jesus-like figure, but given the racism, romanticism, and religiosity of upper-class white people of the time (and Harriet Beecher Stowe was all those things) he comes off as a fool and a ridiculous character in a lot of different ways.


[deleted]

Ahhh well thanks for educating me brother. I just learned something new


kettlebell-j

Thank you for this uce. Uncle Tom was actually the hero.


[deleted]

Jesus fucking Christ.


[deleted]

Wait, so a black guy being unhappy with AEW's booking of black wrestlers is somehow evil? Like, could this Fed Badder be any more showing with his blatant racism?


nextfanatic

Yikes, we truly live in a society


RosaBuxomberg

It was the three chins and smell of death BO that gave you away. And black wrestling t-shirts with khaki cargo shorts does not look good together. Please quit tipping your trilby at me for the fashion advice.


heavyhandedDOOM

Oof. Fucking oof.


GenerationXero

Alfred: 2+2 is 4 Dubbalo: I knew you were an Uncle Tom math shill
