The term "tar baby" has been used three whole times in nine months. This is supposed to be a threat to national security? Did I read that correctly?

Is "tar baby" more commonly used as a current term of abuse than "honky" or "whitey" or "gringo"? Just wondering.

If they think this will stir race problems, just wait til the million 'something or other' march
for reparations hits the media. I have heard rumblings that whites will not tolerate this B.S.
and race relations will be set back to the point of no return. I am surprised that politicians
like our idiot governor Grey Davis are publically supporting reparations,
like he did with Jesse Jackson recently.
Stand by. . . .

Sounds like a threat to spill their guts about national secrets. I dunno, my son has been called racial slurs, told to go back to Europe, he seems to have the maturity to laugh it off, and he hasn't asked for reparations yet, other than his allowance.

I don't think it's quite the same as when your supervisor says it to you, because he has the power over your raises. Still to issue a thinly veiled threat to divulge national security secrets is rather going overboard. I find it hard to believe a supervisor would dare say something like that in this PC world, and if he did there is no excuse for it. It sure needs looking into by someone, what a mess.
