Negro’ in Spanish....means black.
So, what’s the problem? They don’t like the word negro/black?
Seems to me the negro/black community for decades embraced the word negro. In fact, many address themselves and or friends with the ..igger name.
I realize this skirts the ol PC line, but damn, someone has got to say it like it is.

>>Maryland changed one place to Negro Mountain and another to Polish Mountain.
When did they do that? Polish Mountain has been Polish Mountain since my grandmother was born there in 1908.

“the NAACP has appointed a committee to look into all the names of every park, street, urinal, etc.”
The urinals already have a permanent name. They are called Hanoi Jane Fondas.
To: oldvirginian
You left out ‘Afro-American’

Since I cannot find pictures of these two women, and I don't know their actual races, I suspect Grand County Councilwoman Mary McGann to be white. On the other hand I suspect Jeanetta Williams to be black (or perhaps claim to be black - due to a make believe black parent). Here is Jennetta's take on it:
Jeanetta Williams, president of the Salt Lake City chapter of the NAACP, says the name isn't offensive. She's drumming up support to keep the name that makes it clear the canyon is named for a black historical figure.
To: TigerClaws
Incorrect title. NAACP actually wants to keep the name.

There be A LOT of white folks in Utah. But a lower percentage than in previous years. Last night I was shopping in a grocery store and easily half of the other shoppers were Hispanic. Most of those I heard speaking were using Spanish.
Boy, we sure get a lot of tourists...

Around where I live, there was a creek that used to be known up through the 1960s as Nigger Creek. It was called that because if you followed it downstream, it led you to Nigger Cemetery. I hear the "N" word a lot when I go out to the mall or just stopping at the store and there will be a black teenager or twenty-something with his radio on blasting out at 100 decibels some rap song where literally every 5 seconds they say the "N" word.
These people aren't offended by it. They want to call each other "Nigger" all day long. It is an endearing term as long as it is coming either from a black person or a white college professor who pretends to be black.
