  • Le Coon song (chansons de nègre, au sens péjoratif du terme) était un genre de musique populaire aux États-Unis entre les années 1880 et 1920, qui présentait une image admise à l'époque mais considérée aujourd'hui comme raciste, dégradante et stéréotypée des noirs américains. Les chansons étaient chantées par des blancs au visage noirci mais il y eut des chanteurs noirs comme Bob Cole. (fr)
  • Il coon song fu un genere musicale utilizzato fra la fine dell'Ottocento e i primi anni del Novecento negli Stati Uniti prevalentemente negli spettacoli Minstrel show. In essi il nero, chiamato col nomignolo dispregiativo coon, veniva presentato con derisione ed affetto: da una parte si pretendeva che ogni nero fosse a prescindere un omaccione tonto e buono di cuore, dall'altra lo si rappresentava dandy, che tentava invano di imitare il modo di vestire dei bianchi risultando goffo e impacciato.
