It is Time to Replace "Uncle Tom and Aunt Sally" with "Uncle Clarence and Aunt Ginni"

Culture evolves, and it is time for the culture that coined the terms "Uncle Tom" and "Aunt Sally" to be better understood so that it can rightfully evolve. Both the terms Uncle Tom and Aunt Sally refer to Black people who aid and protect white people in order to gain personal favor within white society. 

The term "Uncle Tom" is based upon the main character in Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' Stowe's novel is about a Black man named Tom who jumps from a paddle wheeler to rescue the daughter of a rich white man. As a reward for saving his daughter, the white man purchases him at a slave auction, and allows Tom to live with him and his daughter as her Uncle Tom. 

The white man's son betrays his father's will to free Tom when he died. He instead sells him to the infamous Simon Legree, who eventually murders Tom for disobeying his order to beat some of his fellow enslaved people.

Don't Blame Judges Because You Elect Dumbshits

Laws are reactive by nature. Nobody can dream up something like you can't carry goldfish on a bus unless some assholes cause problems carrying goldfish on buses and there are enough people with wet feet to elect someone who pledges to do something about the problem. Unfortunately, once that problem is solved, the guy who got elected has to pledge to fix other problems, or his worthlessness will be unveiled.

Often, these people pledge to make a law in honor of some dead person. These are the worst types of laws because they generally are an attempt to make something that is already illegal easier to prove, or to have more teeth.
