Nope... wrong, and the link you provided shows this.

Wikipedia was found to be more accurate than the Encyclopedia Britannica and the article I linked to says the exact same thing as the one you provided as far as the origin and etymology of the word...

"Listen, durabass." The 1947 Disney movie wasn't 800 years ago.

Well, tar baby didn't have anything to do with dark skinned people until it became a race thing. There are so many things you can't say without the race-baiters going all on you.

The race baiters are racist. They can't help it. They see blacks or Jews or Mexicans or whatever as an inferior "race" of people (such beliefs are a natural extension of the belief that we are only differently evolved animals, not God's special creation). Then when someone says something that makes them think of the inferior race, they have to come along and make an issue out of it.

Ooh the race card oh no you got me hahahaha

Shut the fuck up. I'm neither upset nor offended by anything other than the immense, planet swallowing stupidity in this thread.

True

This is true, but the problem is the propensity to jump all over anything that even SOUNRAB racist... not your use of a seldom used term... You would not be at fault and there should be no repercussion.
