Kaapse Klopse
The Kaapse Klopse (or simply Klopse), officially named the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, is a traditionally Cape Coloured minstrel festival that takes place annually on 2 January in Cape Town, South Africa. The festival is also referred to as Tweede Nuwe Jaar (Afrikaans for ''Second New Year''). As many as 13,000 minstrels take to the streets, garbed in bright colours, carrying colourful umbrellas and playing an array of musical instruments. The minstrels are self-organised into klopse ("clubs" in Kaapse Afrikaans, but more accurately translated as ''troupes'' in English). The custom has been preserved since the mid-19th century. Under apartheid, the period of government-enforced racial segregation and stratification in South Africa, the festival was known as the Coon Carnival, but local authorities have since renamed the festival the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival as the term ''List of ethnic slurs#Coon, coon'' is widely considered an ethnic slur.

Coon Hunting
Coon hunting is the practice of hunting raccoons, most often for their meat and fur. It is almost always done with specially bred dogs called coonhounds, of which there are six breeds, and is most commonly associated with rural life in the Southern United States. Coon hunting is also popular in the rural Midwestern United States, Midwest. Most coon hunts take place at night, with the dogs being turned loose, trailing and putting the raccoon up a tree without human assistance. Once the raccoon is in the tree, with the dog at the base, it is referred to as "treed", with "treeing" being the active verb form. In addition to meat or fur hunts, there are also competition hunts to demonstrate the speed and skill of the dog. In these the raccoons are not killed, but are treed and released. Some of the largest competition hunts are the Grand American, Autumn Oaks, and Leafy Oaks. Coon hunting has been recorded in such books as ''Where the Red Fern Grows'' and popularized in stories and so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cheer Cheese
Cheer (stylised as CHEER; formerly Coon,) is the Australian trademark of a cheddar cheese (known as "tasty" in Australia) produced by the Warrnambool Cheese and Butter company, which is majority-owned by Canadian dairy company Saputo Inc.

Coonass
''Coonass'', or ''Coon-ass'', is a term for a person of Cajun ethnicity. Some view it as derogatory; however, many Cajuns embrace the name. Usage Socioeconomic factors appear to influence how Cajuns are likely to view the term, with the acceptance and use of term being an example of covert prestige: some working-class Cajuns may regard the word "coonass" as a badge of ethnic pride, whereas it may be frowned upon by some middle- and upper-class Cajuns who may be more likely to regard the term as insulting or degrading, even when used by fellow Cajuns in reference to themselves. Despite an effort by Cajun activists to stamp out the term, it can be found on T-shirts, hats, and bumper stickers throughout Acadiana, the 22-parish Cajun homeland in south Louisiana. The term is also used by some of Cajun descent in nearby East Texas and Mississippi. Etymology The origins of "coonass" are obscure, and Cajuns have put forth several folk etymologies in an effort to explain the word's o ...

Coon Song
Coon songs were a genre of music that presented a stereotype of black people. They were popular in the United States and Australia from around 1880 to 1920, though the earliest such songs date from minstrel shows as far back as 1848, when they were not yet identified with the "coon" epithet. The genre became extremely popular, with white and black men giving performances in blackface and making recordings. Women known as coon shouters also gained popularity in the genre. Rise and fall from popularity Although the word "coon" is now regarded as a racial slur, according to Stuart Flexner, "coon" was short for "raccoon", and it meant a frontier rustic (someone who may wear a coonskin cap) by 1832. By 1840, it also meant a Whig, as the Whig Party was keen to be associated with rural white common people. At that time, "coon" was typically used to refer someone white, and a coon song referred to a Whig song. It was only in 1848 that the first clear case of using "coon" to refer to a ...
