Just WOW. I am convinced that the NAACP has appointed a committee to look into all the names of every park, street, urinal, etc. to see if it can find something "offensive" and stir up some trouble. What, they have to prove they are earning their dues money? First, they could start with their own name. Then, they can do the world a favor and just shut the heck up. We have Iran, we have unemployment, we have illegal immigrants, we are being taxed to death, and these morons can't think of anything better to do with their time than stir up trouble over things that aren't causing trouble. How many blacks have been tossing and turning in their sleep because this canyon has "negro" in its name? And then, when the cowardly state legislature caves in to this, will the black rhino, Black Forest, black widow, etc. have to change their names?

Well, they haven’t really advanced much overall, though some have doubtless made out well, so I guess they have to try to seem relevant somehow.

Except it’s not the NAACP that’s offended. They want to keep the name. The headline posted hear is an outright lie, and was changed from the original. It’s white guilt that’s trying to change it.

“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.
