'Coon Hunter' License Plates in S.C

http://www.thegrio.com/politics/sc-considers-coon-hunters-license-plates.php

only in South Carolina...

coon is short for racoon, but at the same time it's a slur

kinda like Nigger meaning 'ignorant person,' but deciding to allow people to sport license plates saying 'Nigger Hunter'

:smt102

 

proponents of the plates, are really acting like people should not be offended by it, saying it means an animal, when everyone knows it promotes racism by whites against blacks

hmm

 

Wait what? I was expecting similar comment on a word that had the N-word in it.


Ever since BA posted the following pic, I've only thought of the pic when someone used the word coon.

 

u didnt grow up in an area (in the 80s) with a high proportion of middle-class whites (who taught their kids how to be effective racists) to blacks, obviously

unless the sarcasm is flowing like budweiser

:smt028

 

Wait what? you did not know what a coon is and you live in the south?

 

Next time I got to read the article. I thought it was just a guy who didn't realize it was an offensive word. The state is involved. They got to shut that bad boy down. Simple solution! Call them raccoon hunters. end of story

 

Where are you getting that I didn't know what a coon was?
I'm not saying I don't know what the word is. I have already seen the offensive word 3 times from flaminghetero.
I was just referencing to a time where flaminghetero called B.A. a coon and he posted that pic. I thought it was a hilarious at the time.

 

lol

i appreciate the first amendment at times, but stuff like that just leads to racially-charged violence. the state should know better and should rethink their strategy, if they really give a damn about some level of racial harmony.

but yo southern brotha, if u wanna act like it wouldnt bother u if rednecks had that shit on their plates, you more hoodwinked than we thought

 

Here's my thing. At what point do we say go ahead with your childish nonsense it doesn't bother me. If it don't affect me financially or physically do whatever you want homie.

 

it's racism blindly sanctioned by the legislative branch of the state of south carolina

come on man

if some hillbillies do dumb shit, who cares

if the state perpetuates racial activity, the line has to be drawn because we don't want to take one step forwards, then two steps backwards in civil rights.

 

Dude its freedom of speech and truthfully is exhausting getting mad at every little thing. Besides worrying about dumb shit like this is just a distraction because the state sanctions far worst shit than an asshole riding around with coon plates. Let the dummies chuckle at their lame humor.

 

lol
I didn't say it wouldn't bother me. I even gave a solution to it. switch it to racoon hunter(under the assumption that they really didn't mean to offend). If they continue to push it, then that's another story.

 

fair enough

when some coon hunter rolls up to u and asks you if you seen any, dont come here telling us about it

 

Alright then, I stand corrected my future Biochemist friend.

 

I do that all the time, some guy came to our office the other day and was thanking me a lot for some favor I did for him. He said "it is mighty white of you, Mister" LoL. And everyone around me froze, lol, and he realized and caught himself and started to apologize, I told him dont sweat it.

And last week I walked in my work place with T-shirt and jeans and some old fart lady thought I was from janitorial service and told me "Mister, can you take these trays down to the cafteria" LoL, few ppl around her who knew me froze, they thought this big blk guy was going to go ape shit, I just told her call the food service dept and they will send you another big guy to take down the trays and walked away, lol

 

Yes,put a r with the coon and that's end it.

 

Yea, That's what I am saying. Have them change the name.

 

You handled that perfectly my friend. Let's get rid of that bullshit idea that bm lose their temper over the tiniest shit. Treat us like you would any human being.

 

If someone calls you a 'coon', they just called you a NIGGER.
The terms are used interchangeably down South.

I hope the new INDIAN(from India!!!!!!) Governor gets her ass in gear and checks this shit.

But I doubt it.:roll:

Sometimes White people make White people look racist!!:smt018
