When you hear "tarred and feathered", do you automatically think African-American/Black/whatever?
There's a little discussion going on at another fourm whereI used the term and apparently several people attach the term to blacks. I don't. It was a punishment used to humiliate thieves/conmen.
What do you think?

Tarred and feathered just makes me think of someone getting their ass royally kicked. I know this was actually done in the past justas itsounds like, but I don't relate the term to any particular race.

I don't think of it as attached to any particular race but the first image I see is a white person actually, which I am sure stems from the reading I have done on colonial America. The white tax men caught themselves a tarring I know. It was also in England I believe. Not a black thing by default at all in my view:

Then I've got no explanation for the misunderstanding. Weird.

Show them this thread to communicate a message of peace from us to them calling them idiotic PC dumb-asses.

I believe most people associate tarred and feathered with blacks mistakenly because of the term tar baby from the Uncle Remus stories.
