A few years ago they changed a lakes name down in the basin from "n" word lake to negro lake to black lake. It used to be on all the waterway maps as the original version up until about ten or twelve years ago.

The legislator is from Baltimore City. She has shown herself to be incapable of real legislation that would help her district. This is the best she can muster to keep her face in the news. And keeping you face in the news is what it's all about.

Another attempt to alter history. It will likely succeed. It seems to me, especially when considering the mind set of the day, the reference to coloreds as Negro was a sign of respect. As opposed to the other word which was prevalent.

After the PC folks get rid of names like this they will go after Blue Ball and Intercourse, PA.

Or as we become more global with our political correct alterations of history...The Japanese will have us remove "The Day Of Infamy" from our history books....Or the Germans will have us remove the Holocaust.

Hmmmm....Speaking of PC....I don't see this thread surviving this forum.
