You know I’m from the South and when I hear “coon” I think of a coon. When I hear spook, I think of the CIA. When I hear gator, I remember how much I hate Florida!! When I hear cracker, I think of Ritz. Guess any word out there could be used racially if people think hard enough.

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.

Must not have seen how people on here act when you call them a democrat ,liberal or similar.
Again just seems like some people can't help but act like a ignorant hick when certain words are used. Can't tell you how many times somone asked about coon bait and next thing you know you have 30 responses talking about grape soda, ebt cards ,oboma phones ,fried chicken so on and so on.
And now I sit back and take a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) everytime I'm called either a snowflake or a whiny liberal

This thing is nothing new..
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..

Isn't being called a coonarse down in Louisiana considered a compliment?

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

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.
