And see post #15.

yes, and that came after "baby tar," too. It's not controversial. No context was given but only in your own imagination.

The racial connotation is there without having to do anything else. That is why you should not be using the term, period.

Yea, I am watching the Suns/Laker game so my mental capacity for AllDeaf has ceased now.

baby tar. tar baby. major difference in tone and context.





way too obvious there. I think one should follow Glenn Beck's example.

Exactly. The connotation cannot be applied to "baby tar.":roll: Don't you just love it when people make a racially offensive comment and then try to justify it? They always make it worse the more they try to defend it.

Oh man, are they insinuating I started this racial thing? Let me put down my scissors. I was making my Casper costume....

 

[kokonut]

LOL. Can never tell nowadays.

Did it happen to look like this by any chance?

I tried to copy and paste the same pic but the Internet wouldnt let me.

When I saw the terminology, immediately I thought of this book.

You need to get the url information to get that photo. Here is the url for the photo: http://www.yourdustymemories.com/2009/Nov/IMG_2854.JPG here, for you, so you can use it if needed. I found this picture through google image search.

No, it's a real Casper the Ghost costume. Every kid who wears that suddenly becomes that sheet white ghostly figure on Halloween night.

No. Mine is much whiter. That thing looks really worn, or maybe from an old museum display. Might be from the early 1900's. Those goofy people! Did they even have Casper back then?

Yea..like this kid! So cute!

Only the one that is trying to defer guilt.

See ya later, gal!

 

[kokonut]

Yeah, well, even with a Casper the Friendly ghost costume, you still get to be called a racist.
Moonbattery: Casper the Friendly Racist

Moonbattery indeed.

Not enough info to make a determination on this one. But nice attempt at justification of kids wearing KKK uniforms and adults who should know better using the term "tar baby". Good attempt, but EPIC FAIL.
