Gotta Snope you on this one. A tar baby is a sticky situation that gets worse the more you mess with it. Examples: The VietNam war turned into a tar baby for LBJ.

Having said that, do not make the mistake I made and actually use the phrase to describe such a situation. You will get hounded.

No it 100% is a racist term for black people. It is a much less used one like spook spade swoogie deuce moon cricket jungle bunny spear chucker etc. There are a lot for every race except white people we got like 3 unless you include the once for individual ethic groups like mick paddy donkey polock and so on and so on.
