[Redleg Duke]

Them and Minnesota and their “Squaw” fetish!

Pathetic!

[dfwgator]

Does this mean that the Spanish word for “black” also needs to change?

[TangoLimaSierra]

I see why they named that peninsula Cape Negro.

[Surrounded_too]

All them people are Negro residents.

More nutsness.

[fireman15]

Aren't we just so proud of our woke neighbors to the North. They are so sensitive to the feelings of black people.

When I was Recording Secretary for a City Council back in the ‘80s, there was a big sting about renaming “Jackass Lane”. Pretty funny. I think it is still “Jackass Lane”.

[Da Coyote]

So, the names contained the word “liberal”?

Had I swallowed my coffee a second later than I did it would have been sprayed across the room.

Go a step further; all Spanish words need to be banned, all people who speak Spanish need to be sent back to their place of origin, and all Spanish-language TV channels need to be shut down immediately.

[Prolixus]

Does this mean that the Spanish word for “black” also needs to change?

No, it means the Spanish language needs to be banned too.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Somehow Cape African-Canadian just does not have the same “ring” to it.

[cranked]

Lulz. Bingo!
