Not enough libraries in the world to fill you in, bruh. Just you watch who you call a coon. If there's any coons around here, it's you. Just a smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin' coon. And if you not careful, that's all you ever gonna be.
what movie is this from
come on alex think
malcolm x?
harlem nights?
hmmm
The OP is an idiot, but he inadvertently raised a valuable point. Some cats don't really know how to use the slur "coon" properly.
I dont get it why is he a coon?
A coon is a black person who subjugates his or her dignity for the amusement of whites. Actually, I think he meant to refer to Mark May as an "Uncle Tom" (which is still stupid).
short for raccoon, The insulting U.S. meaning "black person" was in use by 1837, no doubt boosted by the enormously popular blackface minstrel act "Zip Coon" (George Washington Dixon) which debuted in New York City in 1834, and is said ult. to be from Portuguese barracoos "building constructed to hold slaves for sale." It is perhaps much older (one of the lead characters in the 1767 colonial comic opera "The Disappointment" is a black man named Raccoon ). Coon's age is 1843, Amer.Eng., probably an alteration of British a crow's age.
And then turn around & have da nerve to bitch & moan over a gif that depicts da same word that they love to throw around so recklessly.![]()
A business suit and tie is dressing like a coon? I guess pants sagging or bright yellow and red pimp suits is keeping it real to you. nigga stfu and sit your ass down somewhere.
And then turn around & have da nerve to bitch & moan over a gif that depicts da same word that they love to throw around so recklessly.
Good luck gettin' an answer for that one. My guess is, he thought that it'd be da cool "insult" to use since niggas use it so much concerning anything/anybody around here even if it's not warranted or used in its proper context.
There is nothing coon-ish about this fucking thread or the person in hand.
The suit and his dialog fits the fits the JOB that is hired to do!!!!
OP WTF!?!?!?!

LOL. This "COON" -ish has taken on a mind of its own, whereas when I originally posted the pic of the Raccoon it was of only minimal importance to the T.O.P.I.C. I was presenting. When I used "dress" in the title (dresses), I was merely referring to his glasses, a pun of sorts, which give him the Black-eye features of a Raccoon. Too much focus on the hot-button word and not on the topic, but I bet you use nigga... Some of you are forming opinions based on the rules put in place by the system, not realizing the system itself is corrupt.
Simple questions:
1) Why is it OK for you to make $60+ million off of me but I cannot sell my own property for $2500 to help my mother?
2) If he had waited two years to sell it, would there be a problem?
3) If Ohio state made replica rings and sold them this year, is there a problem?
Nobody is focusing on your initial argument because you gift-wrapped it in a horseshit, misappropriated slur. Once you learn how to communicate, you'll find that this kind of thing occurs less often.
By YOUR definition, Mark May has "coon'd" on this one. It seems you don't like to read...
Do you find that you get headaches from being so stupid? There was NOTHING that Mark May said that could be remotely considered "cooning" by anyone with a functional brain and a willingness to use it.
I want my time back... This is a contender for one of worst threads ever created in the history of the internet.
he must've gotten rid of the coon smilie

He "dresses" the part of a universally adept businessman. Calling him a coon, would only further implicate any self-thought or concerns for one's own social, and corporate inadequacies.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett blames athletes rather than coaches and fans for the culture that created problems in the Buckeyes' football program.
"There's no secret regime, there's no secret congregation of people who sit around at Ohio State who gives young guys money," Clarett said Wednesday on The Dan Patrick Show. "Anything that any player goes and gets is all based on him and who he meets in the community. The coaches and the university have no control over what the young guy's doing."
The NCAA is investigating Ohio State players who allegedly received improper benefits and special deals on cars. Five players have been suspended for the first five games this fall for trading signed jerseys, championship rings and other items for cash and discounted tattoos from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner.
Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel was forced to resign last week for knowing about the players' involvement but not reporting it as required by his contract and NCAA rules. Star quarterback Terrelle Pryor, one of those suspended and a subject of the NCAA probe, announced Tuesday that he would not return for his senior season.
Clarett, ruled ineligible after carrying Ohio State to its first national championship in 34 years in 2002, said the university cannot control everything that players do.
"There wasn't any coach or any booster or any member in or around Ohio State who helps you get a car," Clarett said, recalling his own time on campus. "It doesn't go on. It's just guys doing what they want to. People will forever do what they want to. It's nothing more than young guys making mistakes."
Clarett questioned the foundation of big-time college football, where universities and coaches make millions off athletes yet the players get in trouble with the NCAA for accepting cash for autographs or memorabilia.
"Why are they even in that position? Why is it that a university can profit $20 million, $30 million, $40 million and these guys are in the position that they have to sell their memorabilia -- the only thing they have of value at that point?" Clarett said. "Why are they even in that position to do that, when there's enough money to go around?"
Once an elite running back recruit, Clarett seized the starting tailback job before the 2002 season opener and caught the nation's attention when he piled up 230 yards rushing in a victory over Washington State -- still the sixth-highest single-game total in school history.
Despite nagging injuries, Clarett continued to play well as Ohio State went through the season unbeaten and was selected as the Big Ten's top freshman.
In the Fiesta Bowl, which served as the Bowl Championship Series national championship, Clarett bulled over the middle in the second overtime for the winning touchdown in No. 2 Ohio State's dramatic 31-24 upset of top-ranked Miami.
Clarett, who rushed for 1,237 yards in his only season, was suspended the following summer for taking improper benefits, including cars. He never played in another college game.
He did not blame his ineligibility on boosters.
"People didn't reach out to me. I reached out to people," he said. "Just when you're traveling around the community, I reached out to people: 'Hey, I'm struggling with this. Hey, I need help with this."
Clarett sued the NFL to enter the draft before he had been out of high school for three years, but lost on appeal. From there, his life spiraled out of control.
He pleaded guilty in September 2006 to having a gun hidden in his SUV and holding up two people outside a Columbus bar in a separate case. He was sentenced to 7½ years in prison, and was released in early 2010 after serving 3½ years.
Clarett played last year for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League.
He accused Ohio State of academic fraud during the investigation spurred by his improper-benefits case in 2003. But on Wednesday, he said he had lied and manipulated the professor to get good grades.
Going to prison had altered his view of the world, Clarett said. Five years ago, he said he might have celebrated that Ohio State and Tressel were going through the NCAA problems they are now. But that isn't the way he feels.
Clarett also said he did not consider Tressel, who until a few months ago had a squeaky clean image around the country, to be a cheater or a fraud.
"You can't be a fraud for 30 years. It's impossible," he said. "People can smell a fraud in the first month, two, three, four, five months. They're going to be exposed. To do what that man has done ... it's wrong for that man to get dealt like that."
Asked where his national championship ring is, Clarett said, "That's at my mother's house. There's not one piece of memorabilia that I don't have."
In football, Horns are nation's biggest cash cow

If the BCS awarded a championship for making money from football, the University of Texas would win in a walk.
"We used to be No. 2 behind Ohio State. Now we've jumped out to a pretty good lead," said Ed Goble, UT's associate athletic director for business.
According to data the schools filed with the federal government, the top five money makers in college football also included Southeastern Conference powers Florida, Georgia and Alabama, which will face Texas on Jan. 7 in the BCS national title game.
The data showed that while the country was in the midst of a lingering and deep recession, revenues generated by the Longhorns football program increased by 20 percent in 2008, rising by $14.6 million to a whopping $87.6 million.
That's by far the most money ever generated by a college football program and almost $20 million more than Ohio State — now relegated to second place — pulled in.
"I don't really like comparisons," said Ben Jay, senior associate athletic director at Ohio State. "We're trying to do different things (than Texas)."
Ohio State fields 36 men's and women's teams on the NCAA level; Texas fields 20. Typically the only sports that take in more than they spend are men's basketball and football, with football the big money-maker.
After the 2007 season, Ohio State and four other schools were within $10 million of Texas in terms of football revenue. Not any more. Even Alabama's increase of $7.2 million in 2008 fell far short of Texas' leap of $14.6 million.
"It helps to have oil wells on your freakin' campus," joked Dan Fulks, an accounting professor at Transylvania University in Kentucky and an NCAA consultant. "Revenue is all about ticket sales, and Texas is going to sell tickets."
For the 2008 season, Texas made $33.4 million in ticket sales and student athletic fees, up from $24.6 million the previous year. "We added 9,000 seats when we finished the north end zone," Goble explained.
Texas also had seven home games in 2008, up from six in 2007. It doesn't hurt revenues either that Texas has some of the most expensive tickets in college football. Before the 2008 season, The Oregonian polled the member schools in all six BCS conferences plus Notre Dame. Texas' individual-ticket prices, ranging from $65 to $90, were topped by few schools. Michigan, for example, offered tickets ranging from $50 to $65 that season.
In contrast to the increase at UT, revenue for some other big-time programs remained relatively flat in 2008. Georgia, Auburn, Notre Dame and Michigan ($52.2 million) reported slightly less revenue on the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act forms they were required to file with the federal government in October.
Of the top 10 money-makers, six are in the Southeastern Conference, which also has produced the previous three BCS champions on the field. Florida, Alabama and LSU have joined Texas and Ohio State in topping $100 million in total athletic department revenues.
Texas led the way with more than $138 million in total revenue in 2008. For the 2008 season, Texas made more than twice as much from football as Big 12 South rivals Oklahoma ($42.6 million) and Texas A&M ($38.4 million). Nebraska had football revenues of $55.2 million, good for second place in the league and just outside of the top 10 nationally.
Last year, $15.6 million of Texas' football revenue came from suites and premium seating, up $1 million from the 2007 season. Revenue from development and fundraising also increased by about $1 million, to $14.6 million. Bowl game revenue also was up about $1 million, reflecting the difference between payouts from the Holiday Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl, part of the Bowl Championship Series. Royalties, advertising and sponsorships in football grew to more than $10 million.
On the government forms, camp revenue is counted as athletic department revenue. Goble estimated that, for Texas camps for all sports, revenue was about $8 million for 2008-09.
In UT's own accounting system, the camp revenue is often not included in the athletic department budget, which is why the department might sometimes refer to its total athletic budget as $130 million. The EADA forms also do not include capital expenditures or debt service in expenses, which is why Texas' total in that category is "only" $113 million.
Goble said that for the 2008-09 school year, the athletic department had $4 million worth of construction projects, including the installation of new artificial turf in Royal-Memorial Stadium, and that debt service on previous construction was $15 million. The debt service was not included in the $113 million listed as athletic department expenses, of which $22.6 million went toward football. Major costs for all sports include coaches' salaries, scholarships and travel.
The difference between total revenues and expenses, Goble said, typically are placed in an operating reserve fund.
Fulks said that college football, as part of the entertainment industry, might be largely recession-proof. He and other experts have speculated that the recession might widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots in the sport.
The most recent data, however, strongly suggests the gap is also growing between the rest of the haves and the University of Texas.
