298. You misinterpreted

Edited on Tue May-16-06 06:56 PM by magellan

I'm saying we have racists to blame for tarring the meaning of the 'Tar Baby'. They twisted it to mean something it originally did not, and it unfortunately gained use, until today we have at least a subset of the younger generation who are only familiar with the derogatory connotation; they know not about "Brer Rabbit and The Tar Baby".
