Coe is often considered a racist by critics, who use his song Nigger Fucker as evidence. Coe claims that he is not racist and that the song is a satire. He uses a guitar painted with the Confederate flag; however, for a short time he had an African American drummer in his band. (The drummer, who was married to a white woman, can be seen on Coe's "Live At Billy Bob's Texas" DVD, released in 2002.)

Various other racist songs exist as bootlegs and rehearsals, and have been incorrectly attributed to Coe. The most likely source of the falsely-attributed racist material is Johnny Rebel (a.k.a. Clifford Joseph "Pee Wee" Trahan), a racist songwriter whose music is usually released in single and bootleg form. Coe has been accused of being Rebel himself, though Rebel's recording career began several years before Coe's. Coe is aware of this controversy, and on his own web page, he has posted the following information, written in capital letters, as shown:

"I, (DAC) AM NOT JOHNNY REBEL. NEVER WAS & NEVER WILL BE!

DAVID ALLAN COE."
