Not really. People can always tell when you eat chocolate candy and they think you're weird for bathing in Cocoa butter

Yes, but women will still be turned off by your personality.

I do not feel that I am different than anyone else. Except for those who have zero respect for the law. I try to live a carefree decent life. Others choose to cross the line and just don't fricking care. THOSE people need to be taken out of this country... Why???? Cause they don't care..........

Where do I sign up?
In all honesty I feel like white privilege is a real thing, but it's also overblown. I've seen black people call out white privilege whenever they feel like they've been unfairly passed over for some type of job or something the same way whites call out black affirmative action when they were similarly passed over.

And the stereotypical thick,long dong.

Eddie Murphy had a great skit on SNL where he dressed as an old white man. everybody gave him free stuff.

I'm currently working for the federal government and it is definitely easier to get hired if you're a politically-privileged minority.

While I agree with your overall message, coonass isn't a derogatory term. It's actually a term of endearment. As a coonass myself hailing from a coonass community, I can attest to this.

Meh, it's pretty much the N word. There was a time where coon arse had a very negative connotation. Over time though fellow coon asses started calling each other coon asses. Eventually the negative connotation got dropped and coonasses started to accept their coonassness. Now, coonasses just hate being called ditch diggers...

That's fair. Tyrion Lannister once said "never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Clothe yourself in it, armor yourself with it, and it can never be used to hurt you again." People can only hurt you if you let them. You must have shame to be shamed.
Only those who are ashamed of being a coonass can be offended by being called a coonass. If you take pride in who you are, no epithet can hurt you because you refuse to give it power over you.
I am a coonass. I am what you say I am. I simply don't give a f&$k. I know who I am, and no a-hole calling me names will ever change that. I refuse to give them the satisfaction or allow them to have any power over me. I would not want to ban their hateful speach. I want their bigotry out in the open. If they want to embaress themselves with their intolerance, let them.

Such a great show and truly wise words. Names only hurt if you feel shame, it's kinda like calling a skinny person fat, it just doesn't hurt if you know it's not true.

It also doesn't hurt if you know it is and take pride in that fact.
If someone calls me a "you short ugly jewboy f$&k!"
That doesn't hurt me at all. I am short, I know I'm not good looking, I am a Jewish male, and I do enjoy f$&king. No reason to be offended. Admitting you are offended by someone's words or actions is admitting that you are giving them power over you. This entire "triggered" culture is basically broadcasting the message of "we're so completely inferior and weak that you have to coddle us just so we don't die!!!"
My response to that is if my "micro aggressions" and privilege are simply so impactful on you so as to ruin your day, then you deserve to be harmed by them. You are simply too weak to be saved. If it's not, then it's too worthless to get riled up over. I think we all know the real reason is it's all a massive lie. They're not really offended or angry at all. They're just using these emotional appeals to get people to cave into their demands and give them what they want: attention and power. They use this way because it's easy and they lack the strength or wherewithal to get it any other way. I mean, why worry about debating an opinion you disagree with when you can just claim it offends you and silence it without having to refute it with facts?

One of my friends says that because he's half-redneck from Mississippi and half-coonass from Louisiana that makes him a redass.
