Joyner's right. They should change the names.

Interesting....history?...or political correctness?

Although the history of Negro Island appears dark, if no one is aware of why it's called that anymore, I could see the point.

When we were young, we used to camp at lake that was part of the underground railroad -- N!gger Lake. It had a rich history and the farm had been visited upon by some famous pioneering black people.

State Rep. Geller is engaging in revisionist history. That was a specialty of the late, unlamented, USSR - and the various socialism impaired societies associated with it. As Rep. Geller represents a district with a large Jewish population, one wonders what has happened to the water supply in Hallandale that has caused such mass insanity?

There was a time when the Hallandale Jewish community had a reputation for academic excellence, not a propensity for the politically simplistic. Alas, as such reflex Liberalism, and its all too common race-based Democratic/socialist party line analysis, became the norm, I can only attribute such behavior to a dietary factor.

Something in the Hallandale diet is causing mass de-cerebration of an entire community.

Where is CDC when we need them?

What to do about Boston? I'm offended every time I think of that hell hole of leftwingers.

What a can of worms! Does it only apply to names that offend negroes or does it apply to all names that offend all citizens of Florida?

It's ridiculous. People who live in the area should call things what they want.

Oceanside, Long Island used to be called Christian Hook. The name was changed by the people who live in it. Government shouldn't swoop down and tell you what your town or landmarks should be named.

As for me, I still like Idlewild better than JFK...

We need to rename all the cities and counties named Clinton, even if they aren't named for Bill Clinton. Just the fact that they are there gives pain to people who don't want to be reminded of the fact that Clinton was President of the United States.
