It's been a couple of decades since I heard the word "coon" used in any context other than a shortened version of "raccoon".
The name is axed by the equally ignorant PC crowd. I'm offended that one of our popular native wildlife species has been denigrated so.
What's next? Will we change the name of the raccoon? Does our illustrious government make the use of the shortened nickname "'coon" illegal?
SAY, how about we get rid of the word "pig"? We all know who THAT word has been used to describe! How about "cow"? Some obese woman might become offended. OOOooo...and DOG, too!! Where the heck does this P.C. B.S. END??
