“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.”

While driving through Northern Mississippi a while back I came upon a sign pointing to “Old Coon Dog Cemetery.”

There is some kind of Black cowboy museum in Brooklyn where Linden bvld turns into S. Conduit. They have the names of black cowboys on signs all along the fence. I'll look for this guy's name next time I pass there.

From their webpage: The Federation of Black Cowboys was created in 1994 by a group of diverse people looking to share and promote knowledge of the “Black West”. Seeking to create greater understanding of African American culture and heritage, we endeavor to provide educational opportunities for the young public of New York. We are a non-profit, tax-exempt 501-C3 organization. Our Cedar Lane headquarters are located in Howard Beach, Queens. Our primary goal at Cedar Lane is to expose young kids to the art of western horsemanship and the skills required to properly care for a horse. We also aim to inspire the kids with the stories African American historical heroes such as: Bill Pickett, Nat Love, Bass Reeves and Stagecoach Mary. The Federation also works closely with numerous civic and community groups. In addition to the regular programs and instruction offered at Cedar Lane, we participate in work release programs, prison visitations, parades, lectures, and block parties.

You’re right.
Thank you for the assist.
It was early, and for some reason this topic just jumped on my last nerve.

Team work is a wonderful thing.
Yes, Afro-American.

I just remembered a bit Red Foxx did back in the 80’s or late 70’s.
He listed all the different name changes and said something about slowing down because he was just getting used to being colored.
Wish I could remember it all.

You are correct!

I have it!
Let’s tell the Hispanics that the Perpetually Aggrieved are saying that the Spanish word is racist and must go!
Sic MS13 on the Black Pampers and watch the fun.

Hmm. Between that and Trump making peoples heads explode, I just might buy into popcorn stock.

A great quote from George Orwell, AKA Eric Blair. Blair was a socialist but also was a champion against totalitarianism and his writings condemned working-class exploitation.

To nullify the influence of; to make ineffective as a result of direct or indirect actions of Barack Obama or the black activist community. Commonly refers to efforts to remove references to white culture based on false allegations of racism or fabricated falsehoods most often for financial gain.
