        A coon is a black actor or actress, who takes roles that stereotypically portrays black people. They think theyve made it but they are slaves to the same images. A.k.a [sellout]
        It comes from the term baracoons (a cage), where they used to place Africans, who were waiting to be sent to America to be slaves. They had no idea of this, so some of them were even eager waiting in the baracoons.

        Examples- Roles or advertisements were black people:
        -play basketball
        -rap about a product
        -are obsessed with money or chicken
        -have a lot of video hoes
        -have names that show that they are black (kwame, darnel, any two capital letters (JT, TJ, AJ, TC, JJ), any female name ending in a qua,

        excessively use old terms we made up like
        -woo wee
        -bling bling
        -yo
        -holla
        -im da man, you da man
        -thats wack yo
        -daaaamn!
        -or anyterm that white people have begun to acknowledge, use and accept.
        -(I hope you get the idea- this happens everyday)

          Derogatory term for black people. Similar to nigger. Originally a shortened form of the word raccoon, used in reference to the animal. The black eye masks and noctural habits of the animal paralleled the characteristics of typical robbers and thiefs. The stereotype was then applied to black people.

            raccoon

            Maine Coon cat

            derogatory term for a black person
            The use of this term as an ethnic slur derives from the
            practice of using coonhounds (dogs trained to hunt
            raccoons) to recapture escaped black slaves.
