If a Tar Baby is a Black Person
. . . what are the implications of my working so near the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles? Is that, like, a ghetto for saber-toothed tigers?

In case any of my high school friends show up, I do feel obligated to point out that "The La Brea Tar Pits" is a redundant phrase. One is essentially saying "the the tar tar pits."
Yet it sounds funny if one doesn't.

I've been to the tar pits a couple of times on visits to LA. It was cool. No one was walking around in a permanent state of being offended by its presence either. Do women pushing their kids around the pits in strollers have to call their kids "tar babies" now? Maybe "tar baby wannabes".

I resent your specieist insinuation that saber-tooth tigers live in ghettos. You have hurt my felines. I demand an apology.

Do I also owe all modern breeds of cats reparations for my crimes against the types that have died out . . .?
And if my brother's name is "Tiger," can I just give the dough to him?

It's not about the dough so much as the respect. Ancient Egyptians were responsible for all the great inventions and the cats were revered as gods. It's time to restore the glory of the worship of Bast.
