Although often used as a [derogatory term], Sambo is now used in some circles and mini-cultures to describe someone playing up to a stereotype or "playin' the fool" to hide [intelligent] and [revolutionary] motives from potential threats. The term comes from the 19th century "Sambo" stereotype of black slaves as dumb and oblivious. Slaves often used this as a cover to secretly sabotage plantation tools and as an excuse to work slowly and attempt to slowly chip away at their master's system when open revolution was not an option.
