To be a negro in this country and to be relativity conscious is to be in a rage almost all of the time ~ James Baldwin
The Carnival Coon Cruise: Top 100 Coons of 2016 Part One of Two (100-50)
2016 has been quite a coontastic year. i’m talking vintage. So much so that we had to trade in the coon train for a vessel much larger to accommodate all of them. Cooning has become an epidemic in America and it is important that we in the non-cooning negro community collectively rebuke such behavior whenever it occurs. As with anything else there are levels to coonery. These first set of 50 coons are what we call somewhat redeemable coons. Particularly the first 20-30. The closer to the number one spot they get the less redeemable they get.
So with out further ado here are your top 100 coons for 2016 (the first 50)
Coontestants# 100-91: Mainstream black media members Donna Brazille, Al Sharpton, Karen Finney, Toure, Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Robinson, Harold Ford, Joy Reid, Don Lemon and Juan Williams
The black members of the mainstream media serve a very purposeful role and that is to correct the myriad false narratives bantered about in the ether and more importantly to better inform black people so that as a community we’d be able to make the best decisions possible–particularly at the ballot box. All of these members of the mainstream press checked their journalistic integrity and intellectual honesty at the door and for the most part became defacto campaign surrogates for Hillary Clinton. They did not challenge any of the false narratives, half truths or out right myths surrounding her coronation to the Democratic nomination which in turn fed her false sense of invincibility in the general election. These ten members of the mainstream media as much as anyone else in media are responsible for the incoming idiot in chief. In 2017 lets not rely on these characters to bring us the news we need. In the very least look at each of them with a more cautious eye while holding them to higher standards as I believe they all could do better.
Coontestants#92-83: The Seahawks response to Colin Kapernicks national anthem protest
Coontestant #82: Fantasia
Coontestant#81 Mary J Blige
Coontestant#80: Laila Ali
“Yes, black lives matter. Yes, white lives matter, asian lives matter. All lives matter…And that’s kind of what my focus is. But it’s hard because, you know, you’ve got sponsors and you’ve got this and you’ve got that. And you don’t want to step on anybody’s toes. And you’re trying to be politically correct, but at the same time trying to uplift your people.~ Laila Ali
Coontestants#79-73 “The Mothers of the Movement”
Coontestant#72 Sage Steele
Coontestant#71 Jerry Rice
Coontestant# 70 Victor Cruz
Coontestant# 69 Dennis Rodman
Coontestant# 68 Fat Joe
Coontestant# 67 Tiki Barber
Coontestant# 66 Michael Crabtreeinthebucket
“I just play football, I ain’t no Martin Luther King.”~ Michael Crabtree
Coontestestant #65 Rodney Harrison
“Obviously he has the right to stand up for what he believes, but he has to understand there are consequences and might be backlash for what he said. You know a lot of people are criticizing him — I think his heart is in the right place, I just think he was going about it in the wrong way, If he really wants to make change, sitting his butt down [during the anthem], that’s not going to change, that’s going to get people very upset and he has to understand that. If you think sitting during the national anthem, a lot of people really served before his time, now, trying to give him the freedoms and the liberties that he has … and I tell you this, I’m a black man. And Colin Kaepernick — he’s not black. He can not understand what I face and what other young black men and black people face, or people of color face, on a every single [day] basis. When you walk in a grocery store, and you might have $2,000 or $3,000 in your pocket and you go up in to a Foot Locker and they’re looking at you like you about to steal something. I don’t think he faces those types of things.” ~ Rodney Harrison
Coontestant# 64 Charlemagne
Coontestant# 63 DJ Envy
Coontestant#62 Stephen A Smith
Stephen A Smith who cracked the top ten in years past was not even supposed to make the list this year because for the most part in 2016 he practiced reasonably responsible journalism. That was until he lost his mind over the fact that Colin Kapernick did not vote. Here’s a dude (Colin Kapernick) that donated over 1 million dollars in 2016 to causes that help uplift the poor black and brown and this coon is brow beating him because he did not vote for either of the two candidates that have more than proven to not have the best interest of the community in heart mind and agenda.
in his own words:
“As far as I’m concerned Colin Kaepernick is absolutely irrelevant, I don’t want to hear a damn word about anything that he has to say about our nation, the issues that we have, racial injustices, needing change, et cetera, et cetera…He comes across as a flaming hypocrite as far as I’m concerned. I’m not interested in a damn word that he has to say and quite frankly I hope he goes away, He’s lucky to be in the league right now…And Colin Kaepernick after all this noise that you’ve made, even though you didn’t intend to do so by offending our military service men and women. And pointing out about how you wanted to bring attention to racial injustices and beyond that’s in this country. To turn around and not to even take your behind to the polls to vote for a particular candidate–it is shameful. Absolutely shameful, Him of all people, because of the position he took, because of the attention he brought to the issues, the fact that he doesn’t have the decency to go to the polls and activate yourself in this election (as our president said) is a damn shame…I don’t want to hear another word from Colin Kaepernick. It’s a waste of time. [As] a matter of fact, I would personally make a request to the media in this nation: Wherever he is, if he ain’t on that football field trying to throw another damn incomplete pass, do me a favor and make sure of one thing, take the camera away from him. It means nothing. Because for him not to vote, as far as I’m concerned, everything he said meant absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing. I don’t want to hear another damn word from him. Nothing.” ~Stephen A Smith .
Coontestant#61 Venus Williams
After her sister Serena took to Facebok and penned a heartfelt missive about her concerns about the ongoing injustices dealt to black people at the hands of police and municipal governments Venus was asked her thoughts. And lets just say her opine was not Black Twitter approved..
Coontestants 60-58 Elijah Cummings, James Clyburn and John Lewis
These three “distinguished gentlemen” underscore the fecklessness and ineffectual direction that the Congressional Black Caucus has long been going in. Once billed as the conscience of the congress the CBC just like these three bozos are bought and paid entities of America’s corporate overlords. No longer are they in congress to serve the people. They are there to enrich themselves and hold on to their seats. It’s high time they all be replaced by some new blood.
Coontestant#57 Lil Bow Wow
Coontestant#56 Dorsey Montgomery
Coontestant# 55 Young Thug
Coontestant# 54 Kevin Gates
On the heels of all the protests surrounding the murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, this is what Kevin Gates had to say:
“We kill each other. I’m talking about we lay up under each other’s cars, lay behind each other’s houses then whip by, boom boom, kill everybody in the car…but as soon as a white boy kills one of us, everybody go to hoopin’ and hollerin’ and all that old stupid-ass shit …That’s bullshit. When you stand for something, you’ve got t[o] stand for it all the way, not half way.” ~ Kevin Gates
Coontestant# 53 Trick Daddy
Coontestant#52 Tommy Sotomeyer
Back in July he got into a fender bender with a black woman and after the sister questioned why he was recording her he says this:
“That’s the problem with Black women right there, they talk, “This is why nobody likes these Black whores. Look at her. Black whores. Black whores. Get out my face, though, bitch. I’ll whip yo muthafuckin ass…I don’t like Black bitches, anyway. Bye, broke bitch. My car cost more than your house, bitch. My car cost more than your house, bitch. You don’t know who you talking to. Watch when you find yourself online.”~ Tommy Sotomoyer
The video went viral as he intended but the blow back for his cooning for clicks shenanigans was too much for him to handle hence he used his platform for the first time to speak highly of black women where he pulled the “I never had a father” card. Of course we all know that the apology was bullshit but that is a testament to how much of a bully pulpit the Twitter verse can be when properly leveraged. Another win for Black Twitter but I will say this. It really is time to start giving eye jammies to these brothers out here that think it prudent to be so overtly disrespectful to black women as he and a number of the coons that made this list have been.
Coontestant# 51 Rza
“If I’m a cop and every time I see a young black youth, whether I watch them on TV, movies, or just see them hanging out, and they’re not looking properly dressed, properly refined, you know, carrying himself, conducting himself proper hours of the day — things that a man does, you’re going to have a certain fear and stereotype of them…I tell my sons, I say, ‘if you’re going somewhere, you don’t have to wear a hoodie — we live in New York, so a hoodie and all that is all good. But sometimes, you know, button up your shirt. Clean up. Look like a young man. You’re not a little kid.” ~Rza
What makes his statement so eggregious is the fact that as one of the founding members of the Wu Tang Clan and the so-called genius of the group he made his living off of urban wears and urban vernacuilar. Now that he’s hanging out with Russell Crow and the Hollywood Click he wants to go all rescpctable Negroe on us.
Coontestant#50 Wendy Williams
“His speech was very poignant, on one hand. On the other hand, you know, I would be really offended if there was a school that was known as a historically White college. We have historically Black colleges. What if it was the National Organization for White People only? There’s the NAACP.”~ Wendy Williams
After a noticeably silent gasp of her normally gregarious audience she goes:
“Look everybody’s quiet. You’re leaving me out here to dry by myself?”
Now a normal dummy, even with coon tendencies would take that silent queue as a hint that they should probably quit while they are ahead and switch up the conversation. But not Wendy Williams. She’s a special kind of stupid. She goes on to say:
“National speeches like this always rub people the wrong way. Just like White people will be offended because Spelman College is a historically Black college for women. You might feel funny about that. I know I’d feel funny like I just told you. If there was a White college or whatever.”
Twitter eat her ass up so bad that that Chevrolet who previously helped underwrite her show dropped her.

This list is,savage asf lol. It hurt to read the many crazy…bogus remarks from many a folk I have respect for….one thing one thing….out of the journalist/talking heads….give Eugene a pass lol….don’t agree w him all the time but I like his mind.
Good list, good convo starter…gut wrenching as well as it challenge me to think…what’s next for our people as a whole.
This list is thorough, great work! I feel like Charlemagne should have made the Top 50 and since he’s in the lower 50 I can’t IMAGINE what’s coming next (I’m sure I’ll see Don King, Omarosa, Jim Brown and that Sherriff, hopefully)….I have one request tho, can you make a list of MVPs? Jessie should be on there, Kapernick, et.al. Oh, and I agree with Chris — Eugene should definitely get a pass, definitely!
Why in God’s name would you call another black person a coon? Too dumb to come up with a racial slur to call another black person who’s doing better than you are? IT DOESN’T MEAN UNCLE TOM IT DOESN’T MEAN SELL OUT. IT MEANS NIGGER. COON IS SHORT FOR RACCOON. A RACCOON IS DARK IN COLOR, CAN ONLY BY SEEN BY THE WHITES OF ITS EYES, ONLY COMES OUT AT NIGHT, & STEALS. ANYTHING. IT’S AN OLD RACIAL SLUR. When my papa wasn’t calling black people niggers, he was calling them coons. So, would you please, stop it.
Oh, Wendy. Many colleges were ‘historically white’. Black colleges don’t impede white people from going to school, they just provide black people with more chances.
Victor Cruz a is pet peeve of mine. It’s so shady when people say there are ‘more important matters’ than your personal struggles. I’m sure there were more globally important things than the Civil Rights era, but we’d be waiting a long time if we waited for the The Powers That Be to get to us.
Sotomayor is much worse if Wikipedia is accurate. Black people are hyper dangerous, BLM are retards, thugs. Ugh.
