Dear Mr. DeVega:

My name is Tony Whitcomb and I am a 48 year old African
American male, who presently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Mr. DeVega, I am now writing this open letter to you in regards to
an article that you recently wrote and published on your "We Are
Respectable Negros" Blog, which was entitled "Charlie Delta is an
Uncle Tom Who Deserves His Own Action Figure" and Mr. DeVega,
I am not sure if "Charlie Delta" really "Deserves His Own Action
Figure" at this present time, but Mr. DeVega, the one thing here
that I am most absolutely certain of, is that "Charlie Delta" is most
certainly, not, an "Uncle Tom" but Mr. DeVega, by now writing this
article in regards to "Charlie Delta" being an "Uncle Tom" you, Mr.
DeVega, have now fully exposed yourself as being the real "UNCLE
TOM" here, from both a historical perspective, as well as from a
factual perspective, and now Mr. DeVega, let me fully explain to
you how, and why this is.

You see Mr. DeVega, "Charlie Delta" is currently standing up for,
and has now publicly taken the side of a "White Man" by the name
of "Mr. Cliven Bundy" and Mr. DeVega, Mr. Bundy, is currently
standing up to, and currently fighting against, the exact very same
group of individuals, and their ancestors, who "KILLED" Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., back on April 04, 1968, and who "CAPTURED" and
"ENSLAVED" all of our "ANCESTORS" over 400 years ago, "THE UNITED
STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT" Mr. DeVega.

So Mr. DeVega, how can absolutely "ANYONE" including "YOU" now
publicly claim from both a historical perspective, as well from a
factual perspective, that "Charlie Delta" is an "Uncle Tom" when
"Charlie Delta" is the one "Black Man" here, who is very clearly
standing up to and fighting against both "THE MAN" and "THE
ESTABLISHMENT" where as you Mr. DeVega, are now very clearly
the one "Black Man" here, who has now publicly taken the side
of both "THE MAN" as well as "THE ESTABLISHMENT" Mr. DeVega.

You see Mr. DeVega, inorder for a black man to be considered to
be a true "UNCLE TOM" and/or a true "SELLOUT" by the individual
members of his community, that black man would now have to be
open openly working for, and/or openly lending his support to the
very "THE MAN" and to very "THE ESTABLISHMENT" that is currently
"OPPRESSING" his very own "PEOPLE" which in this particular case
and scenario, is quite logically, as well as quite obviously, "YOU"
Mr. DeVega, because you are now lending your direct support to
"BARACK OBAMA" and to "THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT" and Mr. DeVega, for the record, it was the
"DEMOCRATS" who originally "CAPTURED and "ENSLAVED" all of
our "ANCESTORS" and Mr. DeVega, it was the "DEMOCRATS" who
fought against "FREEING" our "ANCESTORS" from being "SLAVES"
back during the "CIVIL WAR" and, Mr. DeVega, it was also the
"DEMOCRATS" who started the 'KLU KLUX KLAN" as well, Mr. DeVega.

So Mr. DeVega, now that I have fully proven the title of your
article to be both factually, as well as historically, 'INCORRECT"
I think the most honest, as well as the most honorable thing for
"YOU" to now do here Mr. DeVega, would be to issue an immediate
"RETRACTION" of this very personal "RANT" on your part, as well as
offer "Charlie Delta" a "WRITTEN" and "PUBLISHED" apology, on your
"We Are Respectable Negros" Blog, as well, Mr. DeVega.

Because to be completely honest with you Mr. DeVega, in my eyes,
you are now not looking like a very "RESPECTABLE NEGRO" for
attacking a young, African American, United States Marine, for
simply standing up and lending his help and assistance, to a "WHITE
MAN" even though during the the "CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT" Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr., literally had "THOUSANDS OF WHITE PEOPLE"
from all across this "COUNTRY" who "VOLUNTARILY" came to his
direct aide, and to his direct assistance, and at the "RISK" of their
own personal "SAFETY" and at the "RISK" of their own personal
"LIVES" as well, Mr. Devega.

You see Mr. DeVega, if "Mr. Cliven Bundy" was a "BLACK MAN" you
would probably have absolutely no problem with "Charlie Delta"
now standing with him, but because "Mr. Cliven Bundy" is a "WHITE
MAN" you now have a problem with "Charlie Delta" which just simply
means Mr. DeVega, that not only are the the real "UNCLE TOM"
here, but Mr. DeVega, this now also means that it is indeed "YOU"
and not "Mr. Cliven Bundy" who is also the real "RACISTS" here, as
well, Mr. DeVega.

Mr. DeVega, as I previously mentioned above I am a 48 year
old black man, who lives, and who was raised, in a State called
Minnesota, and Mr. DeVega, in Minnesota, we are known as
being the land of "10,000 LAKES " as well as the land of 10,000
"WHITE PEOPLE" for every 1 "BLACK PERSON" living here, as well,
Mr. DeVega.

So Mr. DeVega, as a kid, I personally grew up with the majority of
my friends and classmates being "WHITE" and for this I was often
called by black people who really didn't know me a "UNCLE TOM"
and/or a "SELLOUT" which I always thought was really kind of a
"JOKE" simply because how can anyone be responsible for where
they were born, and for where their parents decided to live, after
they were born??

But speaking of being "RESPONSIBLE" Mr. DeVega, my parents
who were both "African American" grew up in Mississippi, back
in the 1930's and 1940's and Mr. DeVega, my parents used to
tell us all of the time, that their two families were so "POOR"
back during the "DEPRESSION" that they didn't even realize that
there was a "DEPRESSION" even taken place in this Country.

You see Mr. DeVega, despite each of my parents very difficult and
extremely challenging circumstances and upbringings as a couple
of young black kids growing up in the very deep south back in the
1930's and 1940's, my parents Mr. DeVega, never, ever, complained
about how hard it was back when they were growing up as kids, and
Mr. DeVega, my parents, never, ever, ever, made any "EXCUSES" for
themselves, and Mr. DeVega, my parents never, ever, ever, blamed
for anyone else for any of their "PROBLEMS" and Mr. DeVega, my
parents got up and went to "WORK" every single day, Mr. DeVega.

Mr. DeVega, you are now personally "HATING" on "Mr. Cliven Bundy"
as well as now jumping on the bandwagon and now trying to
publicly accuse him of being a "RACISTS" simply because "Mr.Cliven
Bundy" posed a very "HYPOTHETICAL" question, which was simply
"Were we as black people better off 400 years ago as slaves, or are
we as black people any better off now, sitting around on porches,
and waiting for a welfare check once a month?"

Well Mr. Devega, as a "BLACK MAN" let me be the very first to say
to "Mr. Cliven Bundy" that no Mr. Bundy, we as black people, were
absolutely "NOT" better off 400 years ago living, and working as
"SLAVES" but Mr. DeVega, I would now like to expand on "Mr. Cliven
Bundy's" very obvious "BLUNDER" here, by now directly asking you
the question "BLACK MAN" to "BLACK MAN" are we as black people,
any better off today, than we were only just 40 years ago, back
during the "CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT" Mr. DeVega??

You see Mr. DeVega, I was raised back during the Civil Rights
Movement, and my parents Mr. DeVega, ran a very "STRICT" as well
as a very "DISCIPLINED" household, and as kids, we were "ALWAYS"
expected to keep our rooms clean, to keep our grades up, and to
keep our mouths shut, whenever an adult was talking or speaking,
Mr. DeVega.

Mr. DeVega, my parents had an absolute "ZERO" tolerance, for any
of their kids talking back and/or disrespecting any "ADULT" or any
"AUTHORITY FIGURE" and Mr. DeVega, if my Mother heard me, or
one of my siblings, using a "CURSE WORD" the very next thing that
you would hear coming out of my Mother's mouth was, "GO GET A
SWITCH!!"

Mr. DeVega, if my Father, heard me, or one of my siblings, using
the "N-WORD" the very next thing that you would hear coming out
of my Father's mouth was, "WHERE'S MY BELT!!"

You see Mr. DeVega, my parents, like most black parents "BACK
THEN" weren't afraid of taking on the full "RESPONSIBILITY" of
raising their own "CHILDREN" nor were my parents ever afraid,
to "DISCIPLINE" any of their children as well, Mr. DeVega, and
when a young person is raised in this type of environment, and
in this type of household, they usually grow up to be "EDUCATED"
and they usually know how to speak proper "ENGLISH" and they
usually now how to carry and conduct themselves accordingly in
"PUBLIC" at all times, and they usually know how to go fill out a
"JOB APPLICATION" as well as how to 'WORK" for a living, and for
all of the things they want in this life, Mr. DeVega, versus growing
up not being "EDUCATED" and not knowing how to speak proper
"ENGLISH" as well as not knowing how to properly carry and conduct
themselves accordingly in "PUBLIC" at all times, as well as not
knowing how to fill out a "JOB APPLICATION" as well as not knowing
how to go out and "WORK" for a living as well, Mr. DeVega.

Mr. DeVega, there really is no secret to my parents generations
incredible "SUCCESSES" here in the raising of the children who
grew up during the Civil Rights Movement, like myself, just like
there really is no secrets to our current generations epic "FAILURES"
here in the raising of our kids who are now growing up here in 2014
as well, Mr. DeVega.

In 2014 Mr. DeVega, the majority of our kids are now being force
to try to "RAISE" themselves, with the help of both the State Run,
"WELFARE SYSTEMS" as well as with the help of the State Run,
"PRISON SYSTEMS" because as "BLACK PEOPLE" Mr. DeVega, we
have now "COLLECTIVELY" turned over the "RESPONSIBILITY" of
both setting a good "EXAMPLE" as well as "DISCIPLINING" our
own "KIDS" to the "STATE" and to the "FEDERAL GOVERNMENT."

But Mr. DeVega, whenever a "WHITE PERSON" mentions this,
or very "AWKWARDLY" tries to even bring this subject up like
"Mr. Cliven Bundy" did, they are automatically shouted down
and then called a "RACISTS'' by those of you who are presently
working for, and lending your support to both "THE MAN" and
to "THE ESTABLISHMENT" and Mr. DeVega, if a "BLACK PERSON"
like me, or like Dr. Bill Cosby, or even like "Charlie Delta" for
that matter, tries to bring any of this up for public discussion,
we as "BLACK MEN" are then called "REPUBLICANS" or "UNCLE
TOMS" by those of you who are presently working for, and lending
your support to both "THE MAN" and to "THE ESTABLISHMENT" as
well, Mr. DeVega.

Mr. DeVega, the very simple truth, and the very straight forward
reason for all of this can now be best summed up in the very
eloquent, and truthful words, of Mr. Booker T. Washington below:

"There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want
the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out
they not only have an easy means of making a living, but also an
easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before
the public."

So inclosing Mr. DeVega, "Charlie Delta" is not a "UNCLE TOM" he is
just a younger version of "ME" and, he is even a younger version of
"DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR." in the respect that he is a young
man that is now very clearly willing to put "EVERYTHING" including
his own "LIFE" if necessary, on the line, for something that he really
believes in, and for something greater beyond himself, and for this
he should be "COMMENDED" by the members of his own community,
instead of being "CONDEMN" by the members of his own community,
because "Charlie Delta" Mr. DeVega, is truly the "EXCEPTION TO THE
RULE" where as you Mr. DeVega, are now looking like nothing more
than a "BARACK OBAMA LOVING FOOL."
