Calling someone an "Uncle Tom" or co*n are a means of ostracization within the Black American community. How and why did this develop?

I understand this is an extremely broad topic to cover, but I am trying to understand the resiliency (for lack of a better word) that Black Americans have to differing opinions from within our own community.

Hi -- apologies, but we don't allow slurs in thread titles. You'd be welcome to reword this along the lines of "How did slurs within the Black community develop" and then use the examples in the question text. Thanks!
