“That weren’t no accident . . . only what’s in the heart can come out of the mouth. This person is fond of saying it in the presence of her friends, and she forgot that everybody ain’t her friend on live TV. Dang!”

How do you get from “King” to “coon” unless you practiced?
King to Kong maybe, related, start with “K”.
Coon Arthur? Elvis, the coon of rock & roll? Richard Petty, the coon?
Carol Coon? “It’s too late, baby”.

Consider this -
Newsman’s mouth just said Luther, sounds like Loooother, phonetically.
Then has to change mouth from ooooo shape to King, iiiii shape which is kind of a tongue twister, especially for a Newscaster (paid script reader - brain off, just spout those words smoothly out your mouth).
Try it. Loother, then King, and note the abrupt mouth shape change.
I think Loother Kooong might just slip out.
Apparently he got confused and started to say "Junior" before saying "King"--Martin Luther Junior King--but stopped after just the first syllable of Junior so it sounded like "coon." But that was not what he was attempting to say. Of course because he is white the worst possible interpretation is taken to be the correct one.
