Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
1. I think PO, Ron, Carp, and others want this thread closed to protect their hateful little ultracon friends.
2. I am really sick of the same whiney posters blaming Daniel for every ill in the entire universe! People, get a grip and pray through.
3. The tar baby comment was a racial slur and I don't like it one bit.
4. This thread should be stickied so that every visitor can see what many of us have been saying for years. Namely, this group of men are twisted.

You took it that way because of tradition however, look at the context.

Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
Although the term's provenance arose in African folklore, some now consider "tar baby" to have negative connotations revolving around pejorative images of African-Americans. [2]
Specific reasons why the term developed negative racial aspects are difficult to identify. In recent years, several politicians who have publicly used the term have encountered some controversy, mocking, and censure from African-American civil rights leaders, members of the popular daily media, and other politicians. [3][4][5][6][7][8]
In an interview, Toni Morrison said the following of its use in her book, in an acting of reclaiming: "Tar Baby is also a name, like 'n*****,' that white people call black children, black girls, as I recall…. At one time, a tar pit was a holy place, at least an important place, because tar was used to build things…. It held together things like Moses' little boat and the pyramids. For me, the tar baby came to mean the black woman who can hold things together." ("An Interview" 255) [9]

I did take it in context. You and PO are in full attack mode, and then you throw that little slur out there at Daniel?
You're out of line.

Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
Why won't any of you focus on the blog article?
This animosity towards Daniel is just typical smoke and mirrors.

If you maintain it is a racial attack, you did not view it in context. Here is a newsflash for you bubba, Daniel and I are the same color.
Ok if it pleases you, then call it a bubble gum baby, but take note you pink/white pasty guys may get offended too.
