Hey! Guess what, asshole, posterity has completely forgotten you. Who the fuck are you, anyway?

I bet it really sucks that the entire world holds a coon in higher regard than you. Or at least they would, if anyone knew who the fuck you were. Which they do not.

Oh, wait -- here is some info on him from the NYT, via googling:

"In the 2000 election, James Perkins beat Mr. Smitherman 57 percent to 43 percent to become Selma's first black mayor."

i like how it totally wasn't intentional nor was it made up on the spot, like he was used to saying so much he just couldn't switch back for the press conference

I can totally see Martin Luther as a cartoon racoon.

Rape Van Winkle - 2009-01-21

Me too; but not MLK, the original Martin Luther. Digging through Catholic garbage like Zorro, and chewing through the ropes of Lutherans who are about to be burned at the stake.

COON PAWAAH!

This is one of the few videos on the site where I had an actual vocal reaction to the content.

Good job, Mayor George J. Peckerwood - you made a dude forty years in the future go "WHAT" out loud.

I just saw a Saturday Night Live sketch where Kenan Thompson is dressed as a rapping racoon. What's that about?
