Curly,
Don't let political correctness get in the way of the facts. As much as
"tar baby" sounds like a racial slur, it's not. It means 'dilemma' or
'trap' and comes from Uncle Remus' "Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby."

I'm aware of the origins however derogatory useage in reference to a
black man is obvious. No plausable denial in this case.

Note the useage: "Tar Baby" in upper case indicates a proper noun.

How niggardly of you.

Why don't you go to a shopping mall and formicate in public?
