FD-302a (Rev. 10-6-95) 44A-TP-74471 Continuation of FD-302 of FIVE MEDIA INTERVIEWS ,On 4/23/12 Page 8 OLIVER : To me it's, it's a matter of interpretation of whether he's saying coon or goon. Uh, there are a lot of parts of this country where people proudly call themselves coon asses in Louisiana in particular.. MATHEWS: Yeah, well, I don't.... OLIVER: And I don't know too many people uh, who younger than forty, who use that term as a racial slur. As far as the other word goon, I've been informed by my seventeen year old daughter that that among her peers is a term of endearment. MATHEWS: Uh, Joe, as you know, there's a lot.of African American reaction to that, uh, starting with CHARLEs BLOw. I'm gonna, let's hear his reaction to that now. BLOW: Well, I've grown up in Louisiana and I have not heard, never once heard that African American referred to an African American in that way. OLIVER: I've never said an African American.. BLOW: Like you said before, are you gonna let me finish?. OLIVER: I will. BLOW: And particularly, at the term, any sort of term of endearment and particularly, why with, why would you insinuate that GEORGE zIMMERMAN was using that as a term of endearment whether it's a c or a g after the f word about a person whom he found suspicious about a person whom he was following with a gun? That is absolutely patently ridiculous.. OLIVER: You know, the characterization of what happened out there has, has been ridiculous because the characterization that's been put out there is that GeoRge was following TRAyvoN with his gun drawn and that's not correct. BLOW: Okay. Nobody said that. I didn't say that. O'DONNELL:Joe, that's, Joe, you're just dodging the question. But listen, we want to talk about this particular phrasing
