It is sad that people want to erase history like this despite the fact that the people who named the town had no ill intent.

From what I have read, Coon Rapids was named simply because it was a good location for raccoon hunting and there was a river with rapids nearby. Simple, and obviously no ill intent behind it.

But the US isn’t alone here and there are similar efforts going on all over the world. Consider the below town in Spain that was pressured to change its name, even though that name came from its citizens’ genuine desire to secure a good life for themselves and their family.

Sad!

When i was a kid, I used to fish in Coon Creek that ran the length of Coon Valley. In the early 60's some folks from Chicago that came up to fish for carp in the Mississippi river tried to raise a stink about Coon Valley. They thought it was racist way back then... It didn't go anywhere, but my Dad thought it was funny as hell.

Well hell, lets just change Main Streets across the country to Sickle Cell Avenues.

We can have STD Boulevards too.

To further celebrate the success of groidism, change every local 9-12 school to " Drop Out High ".

The woke generation wants to change everything to suit them. Up here we have lost Chinaman's Peak and N igger Lake. I'm surprised, Squaw Creek is still holding on. My wife lived in Coon's Hollow. The sawmill I worked at, when we were first married, had a steam n igger. Some of these titles may have been somewhat racist in origin but I don't think their was any malicious intent.
There has been a suggestion made that Squaw Creek be renamed to honor Justin Trudeau but " Condescending Liberal Prick Creek" just doesn't have the same panache. GD

Ya know.

If that many people are upset, they ought to just move where damn near everybody is of similar race.....

Think missionaries need to pull out and just let em all go back to worshipping goats n chit.

Quit trying to save people from themselves, esp those not of western mind.

Amazing how so many condemn the whites yet proclaim to be christian here. Saves your friggin souls by bringing that religion.....and ya still complain.

Voodoo and that meteor...... have at it.

Over there.

Here? GTFO

grandpa had a great old black hunting dog we called _ igger never as a kid did we ever think about that racist crap. i wonder if i get a new pup my grandkids wanna call him Sam and yes that lab will be black too, will we be labeled racists ? i am imagine the name blacky would be a real no no ? i guess some of these race`s need to print a book for us white racist`s to know what will be acceptable for pet names,streets,rivers,ponds lakes and all the rest. >> in return i as a tax payer i just want few things from these races in return stay married , raise their own kids,work , pay taxes and obey the laws of America ,oh that`s right they want more and give less.

I wonder if they changed Squaw Tit Mountain here... I do not remember the decision in the dust-up.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Dude at work cheated on his wife and got divorced.
Did it twice. Busted for mult DUI and drugs. Felon.
SOB gets drug into court for never paying bills.

His siblings of comparable moral standing.

And he was in tears at work, because somebody told him a person he barely even knows the name of, is not friends with, MAY HAVE used the N word and not even directed at him.

YGBFKM


Cry about that chit, and trash your family and pizz away thousands being a dumbfugg.

And that is acceptable, because ya know....its part of their culture.

Nice guy. Does decent work.

But slave to a chitty mindset.

Im sure he will snap out of it when they change the name of a town in some blue state way over there.

So will we have to change the nomenclature for raccoons as well?

I'd claim Coon Rapids a lot quicker than Turkey Neck, Maryland. Lived part of my life in W Va, and neighborhoods were named after all kinds of vermin.

Over near Vale, Oregon, we have White Settlement Road. Now that's racist.
