Oh, Ronin, you are so naive my friend. Don't you know that it is impossible to be racist unless you are white? I have friends, very good friends, of many differing races, beliefs and backgrounds, yet one "tar baby" comment would put them all at unease because I, the white guy said it. The minute my non white nor non black friends throw out the N word (and I refuse to type the rest of that out on a family friendly site) it's totally cool - which is to say that white is the only race not allowed to use that word without sounding racist. It's a double standard and it's not going away soon (because if we try, guess what, we're a bunch of racists!). I'm in a race considered racist, a party considered racist - it's an uphill battle.
