c00ning is just the opposite.

Being civilized, but acting "hood." Where "hood" is defined by those who know nothing about the hood.

I don't like the word "civilized". A better word would be tactful. "Civilized" is some white colonialism nonsense. I really wish black people would stop saying that word. It sounds like you were indoctrinated.

After the Gwyneth Paltrow incident I can confirm Nas as a c00n.

civilized:
Bring (a place or people) to a stage of social, cultural, and moral development considered to be more advanced: "a civilized society".

Those two words are entirely different unless you have no class and pretend you do in a tactful manner around people who are actually civilized. It's funny how the most ostentatious group of people who love to brag about money and class in all their music denounce money and class as "white supremacy" in other contexts.

People mean tactful when they say civilized. Or do you think when people say they act civilized they're talking about Rembrandt and Economics? I guaranteed you Nas meant tactful.

I know the two words are different. However, people use civilized instead of tactful when talking about behavior. They're basically saying they know how to behave properly, which is tactful NOT civilized.

You've lost me....are you mad that Black people misuse the word or that they use a word with (for the lack of a better term) racist undertones?
