Look, when they consider renaming Baltimore Thug Central or Crime City or No Whiteys Allowed, then I'll be willing to accept a name change to the un-PC-named mountain.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!

I’m actually surprised they haven’t been changed sooner, in many states they would have.
‘Two local mountains need new names, a group of state senators say, and they want a commission created to select new monikers for Negro Mountain and Polish Mountain which “reflect more accurately the history and culture of the region within which they are located.”’
OMG!!!!
Polish Mtn - you can’t mess with 1 of the key mountains on the I68 thruway! How can you rename something used as a major landmark literally ON your journey?
Jackasses. I wonder what my relatives and friends up there think of this (I know what 1 of them will). Hope they know about it!
As for Negro - I don’t know that 1. Never heard of it - but I never went much to Garrett. However, going to Dan’s Mtn and Grantsville and Lonaconing sometimes, I still never heard it nor from my relatives.
‘...a member of his volunteer rangers during the French and Indian War, acted heroically during a battle with Indians, and in fact saved Cresap’s life. .....
‘“I suggest and recommend the name of Negro Mountain remain unchanged, as it is named in honor of a brave black frontiersman, one of the earliest “free” black frontiersman on record in American colonial history serving the cause of liberty against British tyranny,’
Well, this was stupidly stated. In the F&I, they WERE NOT “fighting against Brit tyranny”, but FOR it. LOL
Yeah, yeah. Don't go muddying the debate waters with facts.
