More social 'just us' activism, Orwellian groupthink, and historical whitewashing by your Annapolis comrades in The Freak State.

Is a name change imminent? Bet it is. What will the new name be???????
To: Viking2002
So I read the whole article and I gather that they weren't sure about the first name of the loyal Black servant who died on the mountain fighting. Maybe that is why they named it what they did rather than using the brave fellow's given name.
No matter, PC feelings of 2019 supersede the memory of a brave man from 1756.

I’m not what one may consider a PC type but I had always thought that naming a city, town, county, state or even a mountain was supposed to be either a sign of respect for the named person or at least a historical event occurred.
Before ‘we’ know it, ‘they’ will have banned any and everything that even resembled CSA.
I am wondering how the 8 billion Chinese etal named LEE are going to handle this along with ANYTHING referring to Black will be handled.
Just last week I chastised a Black friend of mine for buying crackers. Join the parade.
Oh, he shares the same last name as the esteemed Gov of VA (grew up in same county Ralph about 4 years older).
Anyway I told my buddy that for Halloween he just had to put on a pair of gloves, hat and go as the Gov in blackface.
HE thought it a good idea....

My recollection is that several years ago some black female State legislator in Annapolis complained about the name of the mountain and wanted it changed, but was unsuccessful in her efforts at that time. Obviously, however, all resistance in the face of her whining has simply collapsed, to the surprise of no one in the People’s Republic of Maryland!

Think what those signs will bring on eBay in 30 years when people realize how dumb their parents generation was.

What was it called before it was Negro Mountain?
To: Viking2002
Up here in the northwest corner of North Carolina, we have a mountain that was originally named “Nigger Mountain”. Later, it became “Negro Mountain”. Still later — and currently — it was named the less offensive “Mount Jefferson”.
Just adjacent to Mount Jefferson is “Mulatto Mountain”, which hasn’t been changed.
Go figure...
