13: Deconstructing Kanye

Coon Slur, Willie D and Social Media Attacks

The use of the slur "coon" against Kanye West by other members of the black community is discussed, citing a song by Willie D of the Ghetto Boys. The term is defined in this context as a black person whose criticism of their own community outweighs their contribution. The hosts express shock at how the term was adopted by non-black users on social media to attack West's character.
