There's a big farking difference between calling a black guy a coon and a Cajun a coon ass. Zimmerman just got it all wrong. You're supposed to call black guys jigaboo. Some prefer to be addressed as porch monkey, so you have to be careful. Zimmerman must not have finished redneck school.

No, the time for it to pass to serious investigation was a month ago when the crime occurred. The Sanford Police decided that was necessary.

That phone call was a garbled mess. You can hear anything you want to out of it. I don't think it change the testimony by both Mr. Zimmerman and eyewitnesses that he was pinned to the ground and screaming for help.

People who have never heard the term before probably take it as a weird way to say "coon", which is a racial slur for blacks. If it were something like 'shrimpass' it wouldn't get as much controversy.

In all fairness, he did work for a while on a fishing boat right outside Delacroix.

The politics associated with this issue are beyond stupid.

If the snowflake did punch Zimmerman, breaking his Judaeo-Hispanic nose, then banged his head on the sidewalk (as Zimmerman's version and the police report allege), Trayvon shouldn't have been surprised that he was shot.

Did hie "deserve" it? No, but if he was the aggressor, he was Darwinized.

But this is a political hot potato that can serve to divide the nation along racial lines in a racially sensitive election year.

Obama already made the mistake of chiming in on the issue - apparently favoring the snowflake. If he's smart, he'll steer clear of this mess, otherwise he'll find himself in the middle of the maelstrom.

Worked int he oil field in the gulf for a bit after I got out of the military and first time I heard coon ass used it was between a white male and black male. Having gone to high school in South Carolina I expected a fight to break out. Come to find out they were arguing over who was the bigger coon ass as they considered it a badge of pride. Was explained to me that it was basically a Cajun redkneck and all races used it to describe themselves as such, more so for the folks that lived below I-90. Blew my mind at first but after awhile it became part of my vocabulary which always didn't work out the best for me after having left that part of our nation.

Do I believe it would apply here in this situation, not at all but to be honest I cant state that this is what Zimmerman said for a fact so its a moot point for me right now unless proved otherwise.

UtileDysfunktion: I was just outside of Baton Rouge, visiting with some relatives, when they decided it was time we all went out to dinner. On the way to the restaurant, one of the cousins mentions the restaurant is run by "a bunch of coonasses". First time I had heard the expression. I said "Spell that.". He says "Spelled just like it sounds, COON... ASS, you know, Cajun."

At the restaurant, one of the uncles pretends to be from out of town. He asks the waitress "Hey, honey... I hear you got some people around here called Coonasses... Are you a Coonass?" The young girl that was the waitress didn't hesitate a second before saying "You're darn right I'm a Coonass!" It was a pretty fun evening.


Yeah, I don't really think our victim could really be called a Cajun. Especially not in frippin' Florida. These poor bastiches are just reaching now...

And yeah, most Coonasses are fair proud of it. It's the sort of thing that folks can call themselves, but can get you stabbed in a bar by your own waitress if you go throwing it around too freely and with harsh intent. There is nuance and shades of grey with the term, and none of them really apply to a kid from Florida...

I dunno, I kinda feel that if people follow you in a car and then chase you down, they deserve to be punched in the face. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

Poor Mr. 2nd Amendment. He's probably so embarrassed that he's on tape crying for help like a baby after a teenager kicked his ass. He should have shot him quicker, the police would have fixed it for him.
