About me: Learn more at WWW.STOPCOONIN.COM
Stop Coonin Movement, LLC is an organization committed to challenging the misrepresentation of Black people prevalent in contemporary U.S. society. The objective of our organization is to foster discussion among young and old alike about the exploitative features of the entertainment industry as relate to race, gender, and class through a public education program called “stop coonin!"
During these times where negative and inaccurate images are over-represented, members of Stop Coonin Movement, LLC recognize the continuity between the minstrelsy of old and the representations that are pervasive in today’s entertainment industry. Realizing the historical significance of minstrelsy and the ways in which misrepresentation has contributed to discrimination and exploitation, we decided to embark on a project of mass education to help consumers understand the negative impacts of modern day minstrelsy.
Essentially, we seek to “sell” the Stop Coonin’ message. To accomplish the selling of our idea(s), we offer t-shirts that are designed with the intent of sparking meaningful discussion. The t-shirt campaign and educational website are the two primary means of disseminating and sharing ideas about modern day minstrelsy. Moreover, revenues generated from t-shirt sales provide a means of supporting our vast array of educational services, including lectures, accessible educational materials, seminars, workshops, etc.
Our website is finally up and running! Order shirts, contact us, or learn more about us by visiting our website at www.stopcoonin.com.

Every October, our kids have to hear about how ‘in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue’. But what they never learn of the Africans that sailed the ocean blue thousands of years before Columbus was born, such as Pharaoh Khufu on his Solar Barge and the African Brother Hanno who sailed around the southern tip of Africa ~600 B.C. They also NEVER hear of the true intentions of Columbus’ trip (and he was a trip) and the many crimes he committed while pirating the seas. Here’s something for them.
Teach your children the truth. Most importantly, teach them how to THINK and not just regurgitate memorized facts that do absolutely nothing to boost their cultural self-esteem. Peace.
