And furthermore I thought the colorism issue came in because she didn’t just say roach it was ‘brown skinned’ before it that was the issue so idk
See and that’s common in the south but up north? The first time I heard what a coon was I was in high school and the valedictorian of the senior class called someone it. It caused a whole fuss.https://twitter.com/misscuttinup/status/1001900829769650176 …

Yes absolutely the context of her tweet made the term roach seem concentrated on skin tone.

But coonass is a diff thing. it’s a creole/Cajun term that ppl have argued abt. but my whole point was just saying I know how folks will say a term in an area more than another and it’s hard to decipher the ‘wrongness’ if u haven’t been around it sometimes.
