When I hear the words "Tar baby" I immediately think Brer Rabbit.

Tar baby can refer to a sticky mess, but it also has been recognized as an epithet to humiliate black people. It does not! It does not! It does not! It does not!
Maybe if I repeat myself, people will listen.
The important thing about a tar baby is that it is sticky, not that it is black.
Maybe we need to start talking about taffy babies, instead.

Ignorance equals outrage once again.
A tar baby is simply a sticky trap, it has nothing at all to do with skin color.
Geez! Read a friggin book once in a while!

Tsk, tsk, tsk. "Tar baby" is a slang expression meaning to get stuck in a pit you can't get out of. It has nothing to do with blacks. As a metaphor, it refers to animals that drowned in tar pits thousands of years ago. The idiots of PC should learn a little
histoire. As usage goes, its about as offensive a term as niggardly, which of course gets confused with that other word. I don't see where Mitt Romney managed to offend the delicate sensibilities of black Americans. PC politics is all by itself a tar baby to avoid.

Well, all Bay Staters ought to be offended that Romney's out of state feathering his political nest while folks who are being detoured around the Big Dig debacle are sitting in traffic sucking in exhaust.

Gee, where's the outrage over the racist cartoons against Condoleeza Rice? Or Michael Steele? Or.... or.... you get my drift.

Being offended is sometimes purely a form of aggression. - Mohamed Rosoel
Although Mr. Roesoel was speaking of Muslim outrage at every and all things non-Muslim, I identify this statement as the pluperfect definition of the core of the racist/feminist/homosexual/socialist mindset.
It's an old, worn out cheap trick that few will fall for any longer, the black race pimps better realize that they've been totally upstaged by the insane Muslims. The tigers have turned themselves into butter...'bout damn time!

I am sick and tired of loud mouthed "activists" hijacking the American English language. First "gay" was perverted. Then "niggardly" was made a cause celebre and an innocent man fired for his language skills which 'offended' a fund-raising bunch of professional race card players.
I refuse to give up any more of my American linguistic heritage. The PC speech crowd will just have to learn to live with being 'offended'. Personally, I find those oxygen thieves continued existence offensive.
Anybody know how to get a call through to Heaven for a request for some "language traitor" Zots? Mere Viking Kitty efforts are inadequate in this case.
