About 25 mi from NYC there was a lake in an area in the Ramapo Mtns called Stag Hill that for years was called N****r Pond. Ironically the people that live around there known as “Jackson Whites”, are a mixed race group whose ancestry includes runaway slaves as well as Lenni Lenapi, Mohican and other tribes. And yes I’ve heard some of them call each other THAT word.
Yes, they are an odd little enclave there. I think they are basically hillbillies. There’s been some problems up there lately, I think there was an incident with some cops and somebody got shot, maybe killed (I can’t remember if it was a cop or a non=cop) and then I think they were/are having some “Kelo” like eminent domain disputes with the powers that be.
