i searched, i came up with many "im running rich" threads but none about why its bad

SO many turbo'ed cars seem to run rich ( the black ploom of smoke at shift points, the black shit on the bumper, the fireball in some cases) Now my question is, is running rich bad for the engine? i even see it a lot in tuned NA cars. if it is bad, please explain what it can mess up.
