The article is confusing. So was this a mistake? If not, was it meant to be used as a racist term? Because they could have been talking about the animal.

There are black people in rural areas around where I live who have signs in their yard "fresh coons for sale". They kill and clean raccoons.

so, 4 non-whites, with 4 letters.

Yet, somehow this proves white racism?

a similar event happened last basketball season at Chucke R. Spear High School in Blackville, West Carolina.

The band director was heard, during an interview at a white folk pre-trial re-education and internment camp "I have no idea where the four extra sousaphones came from".

I got banned on here for using “coons” despite obviously referring to the animal. Despite their being a poster on here with that as a screen name...

why the hell are stories like this published, anyways?


If a bunch of kids from every race can get together in Georgia and make a racial joke without malice I think that proves racism is dead with this next generation.

Technically, but I’ve never met someone who was offended by it and use it in conversation pretty often with little ill will
