Ding dong, North Carolina's social progression is about dead at the moment. I knew something was up and this is so unfortunate. SMH


But I am not in control of anyone's social progression. North Carolina is not a gay mecca.


Yeah...but I am REALLY happy that I live in one of the eight counties (out of 100) that voted against AMENDMENT ONE. I think that I am pretty advanced socially. It is unfortunate that I live in a state that penned that and voted that legal jibber jabber into the NC Constitution. (I have heard that people in other states are planning a NC boycott. And I don't blame them. Dohoweverwhatyoufeelisright.)

No, the word "coon" has a racist history. The website you provided says nothing about "a coon's age" being used racially. If people assume, incorrectly, that a "coon's age" is a racial slur, that's on them.

I'm born and raised in the South and can sympathize with how you feel about the prejudices and bigotry that still remains. However, if you think that that's all the being Southern amounts to, then you're missing a lot of the great things about your heritage. There's more to it than that. To that end, if people, once they find you are from the South, demonize you or judge you based on a blanket belief that all Southerners feel the same way about everything, then that person isn't worth your time.

Google knows where the racists are:

How Racist Are We? Ask Google

And yes they're not all in the south.
