I lived in Florida a bunch of years... and came to find out that the "Good Ole Boys" that liked to hunt, fish and trap were all "Crackers" and they were darn proud of it. I was told on one than more occasion that if I didn't stop hanging out with them, they would start calling me a "Cracker"... I said bring it on... I was called a Hill Billy in Ohio, because I hunted and trapped and a lot of other names too.
I got curious about the name "Redneck and Cracker", so I ask my wife's grandfather that was just short of 100 by a couple of years, where the names came from or got started. He told me they were about one in the same... most of the early people down there were cattle ranchers. The cowboys that rode herd on them usually wore a red neck scarf. The reason they wore it was because when they were riding all day in the sun it protected they neck from sun burn, and when they were driving a herd, they would cover their nose and mouth with it to keep the sand and dust from being breathed in. Therefore, the were called "Rednecks". Also, at the same time they carried whips to herd the cattle. They of course cracked their whips, therefore they were also called "Crackers".
When he was a boy his family had about 10,000 acres of land and raised cattle. So, I couldn't see why he would tell me any made up story.

So a admin on a trapping page just advised the word "coon" cannot be used on their page. You have to use the whole word "raccoon" Facebook has deemed "coon" racist? Not gonna say I agree with it but I've been in alot if groups where somone asked hay what's a good coon bait and it goes south reeeeeaaallly quick. They not to make a big deal out if it since I'm usually the only black guy there but meh Well those guys are just jerks. And if anyone deserved the Twisted Tea treatment they do.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

I got my first computer back in 1996 the word processor program on that machine was called MicroSoft "Word Perfect." Big slow program but very detailed spelling and grammar check with it. The spell and grammar check would catch the word "coon" and ask if it was what you wanted to use. Don't recall now but think it may have even said it maybe consider offensive to some??? Anyway it's nothing new that was just thought up by FB. Like every thing else it's all about context and timing when any word is used.. Mac

Isn't being called a coonarse down in Louisiana considered a compliment? The ones I know over there wear it with pride

That's disgusting, sorry to hear that Wolfie, the world has it's sorry arse types for sure. Hope that's not happening on this site. Can't see the boss tolerating it. That's why I prefer here to FB now , seems people get on there and turn to automatic buttholes for some reason. and for some reason seems one person starts up all the others come out the wood work and HAVE to try and one up each other. Hunting,fishing and out door groups in general are some of the worse place imo. Least here folks have the tact to know when to shut up. Again I'm not for censorship but christ some people don't know how to just not

Isn't being called a coonarse down in Louisiana considered a compliment? It's weird some people love it but say it to the wrong person and your gonna be in a fight with the whole family. Found out certain groups of people don't call certain groups of people certain things because it's counted as automatic disrespect or slander.
