So as long as people take the "black" out of coon and use it to refer to people of all races who do what he does, I'm cool.

I see your point here. I'll take to being enlightened by someone who doesn't see the hilarity of pre-"Chappelle Show" Dave.  Either way, Flav is Flav is a coon is a buffoon is Flav.

I know. My nappy red twistouts are always a sign of my conforming and bending easier than a limp noodle to white folks' notions.

Well, honestly, some blacks would define your nappy red twistouts as an eccentric form of blackness, therefore "coonery," and see you as conforming to white folks' notions of blackness.

It's true.
Now get off the desk before you make the world think that all black women have nappy red twistouts and stand on desks.

Honestly, I could care less what other people do. They don't have the same issues that we do. Jim Carey is a buffoon to the tenth power, but somehow his buffonery doesn't have the same effect. White people aren't viewed collectively as blacks are.
Unfortunately when people utilize the term "coon", they're not referring to anyone else, just black folks. Is it fair? Not really. But it is what it is.
