Obama's day at the beach (Louisiana Beach)

[jillio]

Txgolfer, is someone complaining already? I already solved my "tar baby" problem here. LOL

And just keep continue to demonstrate your frame of mind.

I guess you missed the racial connotation applied to the term.

There is this concept known as contextual definition. One should always be aware of that.

There is also the concept of asking........But you chose to assume.

 

[jillio]

Yep. There is a negative racial connotation attached to the term. Anyone claiming not to know that has either been in a coma for the last 50 years or just playing ignorant.

One doesn't need to ask when a term is used that has an offensive racial connotation that is widely known and recognized. Using such a term is insensitive at the least, and blantantly racial at worst.

If you don't like about what Obama is doing with oil spill so I suggest you to become his adviser and move to DC.

Obama=black

tar babies=black

kinda hard not to make assumptions.

Bingo.

Ask and ye shall receive!

 

[jillio]

Not true. I keep asking that you stop making such insensitive racial references, and you continue to do so.

 

[kokonut]

Remember, he doesn't want to listen. He's too busy pretending to look presidential.

He will do if you are there.

You're assuming.

 

[kokonut]

He's not even listening to his own people. Get with the program.

Who exactly are "his own people"?

Yet we must resist or risk the fate of becoming an ass. LOL

Tar on the beach.....little bitty balls of tar at that.........a situation with no obvious solution and a potential for political backlash (sticky situation) Tar Baby could certainly apply without racial connotation. Probably safer to ask the poster than risk the consequence of assumption

 

[shel90]

You're assuming.

Just like you are assumpting that Obama is not listening?

Yea, but will anyone really admit that it was in reference to black babies?

 

[kokonut]

Obama waited 40 days.....that's a lot of not listening if you ask me....just to come down to the beach and pick up a couple of tar ba...balls.

 

[naisho]

... "Tar Baby".....
