She's racist and stupid tbh.
Either this is straight up racist...or straight up stupid for not realizing that's a racist term...either way...that is dumb...
She's racist and stupid tbh.
Lovin' how she's always so proud of herself when she says crazy . Would mouth-blast her all day with greater anger, tbh.
I love how the reverse racist people make anything they can into a racist comment.
Tar baby was never intended to be.
If someone wants to contend it as such, please show the history to back it up.
Please supply backgrounds and justifications in the 3000+ threads where they've been asked of you before making such demands
I don't think I'm comfortable around you anymore.
I liked the part where she ed about gas being high on Catalina Island, a tiny population 25 miles off the mainland.
She definitely isn't dumb. Since she has raised black children I would also say she isn't racist.
I think people have blurred what exactly racist is.
Take my dad for example. He has black family members that he loves. He hires blacks. However he is pretty insensitive to others cultures, including black culture.
Apparently this argument has already been had...
Why "Tar Baby" Is Such a Sticky Phrase
I report, you decide.
Every thing she said makes perfect sense.
What do you think she meant when she said "waving a tar baby in the air"?
Good.
I always found you to be a nuisance.
You are free to go away.
To trap a person..."The tar baby is a form of a character widespread in African folklore. In various folktales, gum, wax or other sticky material is used to trap a person."
To trap a person, or to trap a "black" person?
A term coined by blacks is a prejudiced remark against blacks?
You guys already color me dumb, but please... explain this to me.
you crazy.
I have never heard that term used in a racial context. Fake outrage of the day.
Racist interpretation
Although the term's provenance rests in African folklore (i.e., the gum doll Anansi created to trap Mmoatia, the dwarf), some Americans consider "tar baby" to be a pejorative term for African Americans.[6] The Oxford English Dictionary defines "tar baby" as "a difficult problem which is only aggravated by attempts to solve it".[7] Several United States politicians — including presidential candidates John McCain, John Kerry, Michele Bachmann, and Mitt Romney — have been criticized by civil rights leaders, the media, and fellow politicians for using the "tar baby" metaphor.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] An article in The New Republic argued that people are "unaware that some consider it to have a second meaning as a slur" and it "is an obscure slur, not even known to be so by a substantial proportion of the population." It continued that, "those who feel that tar baby's status as a slur is patently obvious are judging from the fact that it sounds like a racial slur" (italics in original text).[20]

I bet 99% of racist bubbas like Darrin don't know where tar baby originates.
That you haven't doesn't mean it can't be. I just don't think it was used in a racial context by Mic e Bauchmann.
Why not just Pro-heterosexual?
LOL at the "My dad isn't racist, he hires black people". Obviously out of context but golden.
I don't think anyone thinks it was used in a racial context by Mic e Bachmann. I haven't followed the story very closely because, really, who gives a ? But it seems the "outrage" is that she would be dumb enough to casually use a racially charged term. Not that she is herself racist for having used it.
But that's harder to rally behind than perceived race baiting and unfair accusations from the lefties.
"I'm not racist, I've had four black people in my house. If you know how many black people you've had in your house you're racist as a mothafckr. One, two, three, four-ok hold it this ain't harlem"
how is she anti-gay? what does that even mean?
Why is it racially charged?
Yes, it can be used in a racist context but, , you know it when it's in that context.
How many words are going to be off the table because of racial sensitivities?
Remember when that DC accountant used the word " rdly" and damn near lost his job because a black employee at the meeting didn't know the definition or origin of the word?

"Did the fox eat the rabbit?" asked the little boy to whom the story had been told.
"Dat's all de fur de tale goes," replied the old man. "He mout, an den agin he moutent. Some say Judge B'ar come 'long en loosed 'im - some say he didn't. I hear Miss Sally callin'. You better run 'long."
