Here’s something else I thought about this morning. Yes, I understand that the N-word was used as an epithet against black people, and that was bad (although it is odd why as an epithet it is worse used against black people by whites than by blacks).

But this isn’t an epithet. Some white person actually NAMED their ranch by this name. Obviously, it is a name they do NOT think is derogatory toward their ranch. It clearly isn’t being used to be insulting, why would anybody name their own things by an insulting name?

So even when the name EXISTED, it clearly wasn’t meant to be negative, or insulting, or disturbing. All of those interpretations are just what people WANT to make out of the name today. And that’s fine — we went through a process of renaming all the places that had those names which included the “offensive” set of 6 letters of the alphabet (it still cracks me up how we can put a few letters together and they have some sort of magical power to supremely offend people).

But to suggest that someone happening to go to a place that once had this name is going to that place specifically to OFFEND someone else is absurd.

You are absolutely correct; the ranch name denoted a location or physical description and likely existed for the better part of a century. This entire controversy is a manufactured one to advance political ideology by the democraps and their lsm partners. If the DNC and Larry Flynt can’t come up with more than this on a piece of property not even owned by the Perry family, then they are incompetent and should be fired en mass! BWAAAHAHAHA

BTW, if I had owned that property and some renter arbitrarily and unilaterally destroyed my sign at the front gate, I would have booted his arse off the property and cancelled his lease for cause!
