Uncle Remus

[Snookie]

When I was a kid I used to love uncle Remus stories. Now, it seems like they are no longer politically correct.

One of his most popular stories was Uncle Remus and the Tar Babies.

The Wonderful Tar Baby Story

I have a copy of the Joel Chandler Harris collection of stories. I read it to my child, and will read them to my grandchildren. It matters not if they are PC, they are wonderful stories.

There wasn't until the racists embraced the story and added "Tar Baby" to their long list of racist taunts

Ruined it for everyone didn't they? Kind of like they did with the Confederate Battle Flag
