I'm of the opinion that this story is more likely the result of (very) poor word choice than overt racism, but I don't know that Song of the South makes a very convincing argument for libtard over-reaction. The character of Uncle Remus, and the southern slave dialect in which the stories were originally published, is pretty explicitly connected to the archetypes of minstrelsy and the cartoons widely circulated in the post-Reconstruction era that were intended to depict former slaves as happy, docile, dimwitted, and generally in need of white folks' control.

"Tar Baby" does have some racial background to it but did he mean it as a racist remark?..... I dunno lol. See my point is that these people needs to study the "forbidden words" handbook because quite simply, we will never know what his true intentions were. Negative thoughts overpowers the good.

It's you and those who agree with quota's who are the racists. Not me. You believe a black person needs help to achieve.

Lamborn's office said Monday the third-term congressman intended to say the president's policies have created an economic "quagmire" for the nation and not the more offensive term.http://www.denverpost.com/politics/ci_18598273

From a strictly personal viewpoint, I have only ever heard the term "tar baby" used a racial epitaph.

Never as an allusion to "sticky situations".

The majority of black people don't need help so you don't need to worry.

That's right, continue to take my statement out of context, even though I have explained it countless times. You want to debate the issue, be honest about or be called a slanderer. If you are incapable of being honest, then you are a simple low life.

Yes, I've been there often. If these assholes actually had some real dignity, maybe they could also have enough responsibility to make something of themselves. I used to date a Black chick from "The Hood."

I consider myself far more intelligent than average.

If you didn't miss the context, and are not stupid, then why do you choose to lie and slander?

I did not lie or slander. I can quote you a third time, bump the thread, etc.
You made yourself pretty clear. Your intelligence or lack thereof was clearly reflected on that thread.

In context.

Then do so, and I will prove you wrong.
