The Roots playing music on late night and being a part of a funny skit that isn't racially derogatory is fine brehs. That's not c00ning. c00ning would be them partaking in a skit that involved them scarfing down fried chicken and watermelon while speaking broken slave English.
Now what that lil Mexican dude they got on Jimmy Kimmel be doing? Now THAT'S the Mexican equivalent of c00ning.
c00ning = shamelessly highlighting and exaggerating negative black stereotypes in order to rise up the ranks in white America. Think Lil Wayne, Nikki Minaj, Lil B, Flava Flav etc.
What most of you guys think is "c00ning" is actually being a flat out Uncle Tom.
Uncle Tom = shamelessly sucking up to white people and going out of your way to assimilate into their culture while disregarding/abandoning your people. Think Jason Whitlock, Azealia Banks, Zoe Saldana, prominent black personalities who defended George Zimmerman, lames who make fun of black women and worship "PAWGS" on this website, etc.
Being a c00n and an Uncle Tom are both completely disgusting. They're two of the worst kinds of blacks and they are highly dangerous to our progression in this country, but they ARE different. The main reason they get confused for one another is a lot of these weak ass negros express both c00nish and uncle tom-like agendas at the same damn time.
Don't automatically call a black man collaborating with someone outside of their race a sell out. It is unfair and it is paranoid. Let Black Thought cook until he actually gives you a reason to believe he ain't for us anymore.
