TAR BABY
TAR BABY WAS PROPHESY
Throwing out the baby with the bath water means being so fixed on discarding the lesser that one also discards the greater. It is rather like striking that fabled tar-baby of famed black oral tradition, only to get stuck yourself! Sticky dilemma.
So many snares, traps, artifices, and devices that have been tried upon America 's own tar babies have failed; or have backfired upon their heartless purveyors and feral fowlers, that these traps have assumed Biblical, allegorical equivalence.
Therefore, in many ways, racist white Americans have thrown out their own engineered baby, "white supremacy," in the bath water of fruitless bigotry. The very pitfalls designed for use in vainly trying to stultify, to kill off, blacks have recoiled on them.
We have escaped like a bird from the fowler 's snare; the snare has been broken and we have escaped.
