    Greenie seems like a good guy, I'm sure it was just a mistake, just a dumb one

    Yeah seems like a mistake to me. Just an awful mistake though. Could have been any other word but coon had to come out.

    If anybody can make the video show please post because the work computer wont let me. And Greenberg said he was trying to say "Junior" and "Coon" slipped out. I dunno about that one.

    Actually I can see that happening.

    Commonly when we're speaking quickly we think of the next word to say and start saying it before we've uttered the entire thing.

    King/Junior

    "Kunior" hence the sound "coon"

    I'll give Greenie the benefit of the doubt on this one, sounds like an honest mistake but man what a horrible one.

    Racist joke running through his head? :confused:

    It would be hard to believe that Greenie is a racist. I'll give him benefit of the doubt.
