that one is true but you have to get a certain version of it actually. We looked at the correct version during english class one day.

Tar baby was a book written by Toni Morrison, Tar Baby first appeared in Toni Morrison's book, Sula. Tar Baby is a mix between a black person and a white person. Toni then wrote a book called Tar Baby. The fact that the cartoon is about a Tar person may indicate a racial slur. However, as we all know, Mark Twain often used the N word in his books. So, because times were different, it may not be a racial slur back then.

Racism against tar people? Naughty Disney.

I haven't read the actual book, but how is the tar person indicative of a racial slur?

according to the post time, you were 2 minutes behind. So.... 😀

The point is guys, history cannot be ignored, yet we must forgive them because times have changed. Besides......Tar Baby might simply be just a fairy tale. Maybe the author didn't intend anything racial. You never know, the greatest conflicts were begun by a simple misunderstanding.

It's based on a African folktale...here's some back up. I remember this from the back of my head because I was compiling international folklore for a paper.

It was about the trickster rabbit being fooled by his enemies with a figure made of tar.

Also, the Disney film predated that novel.
