King Cucaracha Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 It's professional wrestling. It's not a statement about black people or how their ethnic backgrounds. It's people wearing women's swimming trunks rolling around in a ring, it was ridiculous to begin with.[/Chris Candido] This is no more racist than Umaga (or every other Samoan gimmick) and Armando and nobody's batted an eyelid about them. It's no more racist than the Leprechaun. What about Slick? Who doesn't love Slick? Mr Fuji. Dumb gimmicks have been around like this for years and will continue to be done. Yet, we all seem to love the ones from the 80s. What's the difference, really?
Papacita Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 "Coon" is basically another word from Uncle Tom. Which means a black person acting white. Actually, "cooning" refers more to the minstrel-esque mentality of blacks who play up the negative stereotypes surrounding the race for the sake to entertaining whites and others. I haven't watched Raw in ages so I can't comment on the gimmick.
