Kelloggs Coon Flakes: Breakfast of Champions!
Calling a raccoon a coon is a lazy southern/midwestern habit. In my days 50s, 60s, 70s to now, I never thought of the word coon as a racist term. To me, it was alway a rodent with penchant for getting in my sweet corn. Talk to your black neighbor in Missouri, they more than likely will bitch cause their (coon) hound aint getting the dang coons/raccoons out of his sweet corn. The hound be it a red bone, walker, or blue tick hound better earn his keep. Just saying.
