the term "coon" is not used anymore. the word minstrel should rather be used in the title.
I was working on the Blackface article and discovered that there is a book called Coon Carnival: New Year in Cape Town : Past to Present by Denis Martin (New Africa Books, 1999, ISBN 0864864485). Presumably much of this article could be cited from that, and also I'm sure the article could be greatly expanded from that, id anyone has access to a copy and is so inclined. Much of the book seems to be online at Google Books, possibly enough to cite for significant portions of this article. - Jmabel | Talk 07:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
"The Group Areas Act of 1966 declared District Six a whites only area resulting in millions of ‘non-whites’ being evicted and scattered around the Cape Peninsula" seems a little odd. The conventional figure for those moved from District Six is about 60,000, and it would have been physically impossible for a million people to have lived there. The word "scattered" may also not work, as the Group Areas Act actually tried to move non-white Capetonians into specific parts of the Cape Flats rather than allowing them to live across the peninsula. -- Rumping ( talk) 18:42, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
