Coulda-woulda-shoulda PS: the term 'tar baby' -- yes, it appears in the Uncle Remus stories, but has become a bit of a hot button. Not as controversial as the 'N' word, but...

But they could very well have been found in port towns too especially come auction and ship loading/unloading time. So, 'ya'..... why not see one or two black slaves in the fortress town----no harm, no foul. We already have drunks chasing ladies and a torture scene, so why not?

I could go for some 'Aqua Boogie' or better yet bring on Yarbrough and People's 'don't stop the music'. "Funk Ride, Staring George Clinton" Or "Soul Train....get on board"
