Watch the 1st Annual Coon Train Awards Tonight 10p Est! (Video Stream)
It’s not the Soul Train Awards it’s the Coon Train Awards that is taking place tonight at the Acme Comedy Theater in Los Angeles, CA. What is the Coon Train Awards aka Plantation Celebration all about? This is the brain child of Filmaker/Author Tariq Nasheed who has commonly used the phrase Coon Train in his lectures. Tariq has even created funny YouTube videos with a Coon Train awards theme song and placing images of certain celebrities in the skits. In some of the videos he has placed Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele, Stacey Dash among many others. If you are not in LA to see the awards in person you can still stream online 10pm Est 7pm Pst. Click Here to go to Tariq Nasheed’s Ustream page where the awards will be shown.
Some of the categories are: Best Sambo in Sports, Mammy of the Year, Biggest Coon in News so there will be plenty of interesting names nominated for these awards. I am sure this will cause quite a discussion watch live and use the hashtag #CoonTrainAwards

1st Annual Coon Train awards was a hit. Before people begin the critiques of what was wrong, let’s remember Tariq is only as good as the support and resources we provide. For all of us that have the talent and abilities to make it better yet remained on the sidelines, shame on us. The 2nd Annual Coon Train awards will be bigger and better.
