Some people would consider Tar-baby a racist term, I guess if you use it in a very derogatory manner however when Mass Gov. Mitt Romney said:

"The best thing politically would be to stay as far away from that tar baby as I can"

I don't believe he meant it to offend blacks, but apparently some couldn't wait to jump on the band wagon.


Kind of like saying "I lit a faggot on fire to heat the flu" well Faggot in the dictionary means "bundle of sticks". Again, I wouldn't come out and say that if I wanted to run for office though.
