coon

Then, once in office, LBJ wanted to win a "coon skin cap" and added and added. Then Nixon wanted only to 'win' -- I know, "Peace with honor".

My clients have compliance issues that make cloud providers hard to use so it's disappointing that I can't really use all this coon new stuff.

Indeed, should the Man come calling, I would rather have a dozen armed rednecks and coon-asses standing with me than a few score of the best-spoken orators of our time. It's unfortunate that things seem to be suggesting that this sort of calculus is becoming reasonable again.

Many people in the sixties said 'coon' or 'spade,' and many people in the seventies said 'paki' or 'poof;' and you could argue that those words weren't directly offensive insults, but - to me - there is still some undercurrent of the different and qualities of 'I'm superior and this is my mocking little word for those different to me.' I don't know.

If I were were a Jain, who believes that not even insects should be killed, I might demand that the president step down because he killed a fly once on TV. If I were strongly anti-fur, it's fair for me to demand that someone step down at CEO for wearing a coon-skin cap at a private Halloween party. If I were an absolute teetotaler, I might demand that a CEO resign because he enjoys a beer every once in a while in his spare time, while I believe that no one in a position of responsibility should ever drink alcohol.
