Blacksburg, Virginia?

And there’s a mountain called Negro Mountain in Maryland. That’s got to be purged in this politically correct era.

There is a city in Minnesota named coon rapids

They have had to defend the name more than once.

It’s racoons that coon came from.

And for some reason the late BB King appeared on Joe Bonamassa’s 2019 blues album Black Rock.

Should have sued him for suggesting such a racist idea.

The Black Rock (Black limestone) at Buffalo was pretty famous. I believe it was blown up for a canal about 1820. The district still retains the name.
