Coonasses are some of the greatest people on earth.

As someone with legit Cajun blood, I just assume embrace it thus take ownership of it.
People being offended by words are weak and should be culled from the herd.

Never. It’s a term of endearment. But I’m down for pretending to be offended and making our own rules for who can say it that has consequences of job loss & public shunning
I'm in, as long as we only go after those we don't like when they use it.

Best way to take the power away from something like that is to wear it as a badge of honor. Idk if that’s how these words came to be accepted or not but it’s Bully Solving 101
Yep and anyone with older siblings knows it. Just embrace it and it loses it's power.

My buddy got "coonass" tattooed on the inside of his lip when he was in the air force.
I told that story in Denver Colorado to a couple of flight attendants and they both gasped asking how I could say that word about black people. Even after I explained and showed them support, they said well I should just know that it could be offensive and stop saying it.

I don’t cause a big stink over it when it’s used around me. I’m not offended.
But I don’t use it. I don’t like the word.

I'm a coonass and proud of it.

I grew up in Henderson and have traced my genealogy back to Le Grand Derangement. I don’t care if I’m referred to as Cajun, or Coonass, and I think Boudreaux/Thibodeaux jokes are funny. You have to be able to laugh at yourself or you will live a miserable life. Like several others said, it’s only offensive when the person using it is purposely being condescending.

It's all fun and games for them until something hits close to them. Then they will take your stance as well.

Only if they use it with the intent to be offensive.

Where’s the whining bitches that was crying about me posting the Tony’s the other night ? They were so offended!

People calling themselves coonasses is cringy as hell.

It’s not as bad as redneck
And the word "coonass" has always been used as an endearing term laced in inside/sarcastic humor. It goes way back to the way Cajuns used to be viewed. They're obviously not viewed that way anymore, so it's been a joke that's been passed down from generation to generation. It's an ethnic base of people basically laughing in good nature at themselves. It's never meant to be derogatory. The only people who would find that term derogatory are those who are completely ignorant to that.
Would be like saying that calling people from Wisconsin "cheese heads" is derogatory. Or people from the northeast "chowder heads". Same concept. You don't think those terms are derogatory, do you?

that's pretty much the impetus for all of this nonsense, next on the list to have to change their name because of derogatory connotation: aTm

A couple years ago in a messican restaurant in south Texas I was wearing an LSU sweat shirt and this couple comes up me. they were from Michigan and proceeded to smirk and asked if I knew what a coon arse was. I told them when back in Michigan look for a road kill raccoon and carefully lift the tail. The brown spot is the coon arse.
And they looked at me as if I were stupid!

So I looked at everybody that replied to my post and decided that I’m still right. Personally, idgaf if a person uses these words or not. Call anybody whatever you want even the word that we can no longer say because you’re instantly deemed a racist for saying it without any context.
That’s my point. You can call your brother a stupid son of a bitch and that be offensive to both your brother and your mother or you can say it in a way that’s endearing and non-offensive to anybody.
I personally think without context coonass and red neck are used as words to put down flyover states and south Louisianans. I know what it means to be a true red neck where you work outside and actually have a red neck.
