He is going to get introduced to women wearing white if he keeps that up, that is a soon as he wakes up. But hey, as Gump said; stupid is as stupid does.

No, that was you being racist. Still doesn't make sense in the context that Lamborn was using the term tar baby. Thanks for playing.

You all are so ridiculous.

Yes, this is all a huge conspiracy. He said tar baby, gave an explanation of what he meant by it, and now we're all denying that it was meant to be racist just so he could say "tar baby" on TV. And it was so worth it just to hear him say that.

Our mission would have been accomplished, but geniuses like yourself have uncovered our secret nationwide plot to say a racist term on TV. Maybe next time...

I don't even believe he does this; some people here are being contrary just for contrary's sake.

I think any grown man would be insulted to be called a boy. There's nothing racist about it. Stop turning everything into racism, it's really going overboard at this point and makes you and your cohorts look really bad.

Do you really expect anyone living modern day American to believe you don't know what the term "tar baby" means?

Seriously....

The amount of left wing spin is what is really pathetic. Buying into and using a term hijacked from a cbildrens book by people like the Klan. The left is the racist bunch here. Seriously .....

I didn't ask you to give an essay on why this wouldn't be possible. I just asked what your gut reaction would be if Obama said this on TV. Would you laugh at the silliness? Or would you be outraged and call it racist?

If you saw a white man hang a black man from the tree and say "I'm killing him because he's black," you'd say the man wasn't racist and that his statement was taken out if context.

You may think that deflecting, denying and trying to flip the truth is quite clever, but this only works in certain circles. The ones where the kids are all trying to fit the square peg in the round holes.

So, you don't believe that a white man calling a black man "boy" can be racist?
