The phrase "Uncle Tom" has also become an epithet for a person who is slavish and excessively subservient to perceived authority figures, particularly a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people; or any person perceived to be complicit in the oppression of their own group. The negative epithet is the result of later works derived from the original novel.

At the time of the novel's initial publication in 1851 Uncle Tom was a rejection of the existing stereotypes of minstrel shows; Stowe's melodramatic story humanized the suffering of slavery for White audiences by portraying Tom as a Christlike figure who is ultimately martyred, beaten to death by a cruel master because Tom refuses to betray the whereabouts of two women who had escaped from slavery. Stowe reversed the gender conventions of slave narratives by juxtaposing Uncle Tom's passivity against the daring of three African American women who escape from slavery.

Uncle Tom (Josiah Henson): How did a term of high praise become an ultimate insult?
The Journal: Today nobody wants to be called an Uncle Tom, but 150 years ago, it was a compliment. In Harriet Beecher Stowe's abolitionist 1852 novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Uncle Tom is a martyr, not a sell-out. His devotion to his fellow slaves is so unshakable that he sacrifices a chance for freedom and, ultimately, his life to helping them.
How did a term of high praise become an ultimate insult? Until recently, scholars believed that "Uncle Tom" was first used as an epithet in 1919 by Rev. George Alexander McGuire, a supporter of the radical black nationalist Marcus Garvey.
Addressing the first convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, McGuire declared, "the Uncle Tom nigger has got to go, and his place must be taken by the new leader of the Negro race … not a black ma...

Amiga music: Atmosphere by Uncle Tom (HQ Stereo Headphone mix)
The best song ever on Amiga! Recorded for my coding music playlist (WIP). There were many variants, but none fit what I heard. This is the version, played on Noisetracker 1.1 which I know Uncle Tom used near the time of release.
I've been on quite an adventure! There were several versions not only of Double Dragon II, but also of mod.atmosphere and trackers around this time. I think this is the module closest to the game one, as it has the hidden patterns ending, which can be heard not here, but here: https://youtu.be/wcd4gJmcyc0
The module is available at: http://amp.dascene.net/downmod.php?index=73810
Double Dragon II was released in December 1989 and didn't play the module (any version you like) correctly at launch, which I remember upset me very much, because I was so excited to see...

In the event's opening parade, marchers held protest signs that hopefully proclaimed, "Uncle Tom's dead and buried."
