According to XXL, back in 2013 Lil Jon appeared on the 13th season of Trump’s hit show, “Celebrity Apprentice.” For one of the challenges on the show Lil Jon dressed up as Uncle Sam.
Staff members from the show confirmed to The Daily Beast that once Trump saw him dressed up he repeatedly said, “Look, he’s Uncle Tom!”
Lil Jon confirmed his comment and said in a statement, “When this ‘Uncle Tom’ incident happened on Celebrity Apprentice, in the boardroom, several of my cast mates and I addressed Mr. Trump immediately when we heard the comment. I can’t say if he knew what he was actually saying or not, but he did stop using that term once we explained in offensiveness. I also want to be clear that I don’t agree with many of the statements Mr. Trump has said during his current run for President.”
I ;personally don't get this because blacks call blacks uncle Tom all the time so is it a racist statement or what is it not.
