My friends, “coon(s)” is actually an extremely derogatory slur still in common use in the Deep South.

Obviously, y’all wouldn’t use this word if you knew. I share because CoSo is a safe place. I will make a mistake at some point and I hope y’all feel free to let me know.

Last week, 16 advised me I was using heteronormative language, again. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Life is my learning journey.

@CajunBlueAZ1 Actually I do know however I ALSO know that penny means no harm so I do not wish to chastice for using when it is relating to the article that I posted and I know that we are talking about the article and the racoons not about people. @pennyphilosophy

@TheNewsOwl thanks, bud xx

@TheNewsOwl

Apologies to @pennyphilosophy. I did not mean to chastise anyone. I do not assume the worst of people here. Had I thought it was intentional, I would not have bothered.

@CajunBlueAZ1 It is alright Cajun. ME an Penny are rather close so I would like to feel like I know Pennys good heart rather well. You do not have to apologize here. Nothing to apologize for. ❤️ 🤗 @pennyphilosophy

@CajunBlueAZ1 Just an extra hug because we give hugs around here. ok well I give hugs. 🤗 @pennyphilosophy

@TheNewsOwl

Hugs back, my friend.

@TheNewsOwl yikes, bud.

@CajunBlueAZ1 i am aware. was commenting on news item. sorry if you were offended.

@pennyphilosophy

Knowing you were using a racial slur, and using it anyway is not okay with me. I don’t care what the context is.

It is not about me. It is about a population still being slain, arrested, beaten, and marginalized.

This is actually about you, thinking it is okay.

@CajunBlueAZ1 it is a word. i used it as a familiar of raccoons which is also common parlance.
your assumption is unfounded.
peace out.
