'Legacy of Racism': U.S. Officials Move to Change 'Offensive' Names of Places—and Fish


Democrats in Washington have introduced a new bill that aims to clear official place names of language deemed racist or offensive. The Reconciliation in Place Names Act was put forward on Friday by Massachusetts Senators Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey, as well Texas Representative Al Green, and is co-sponsored by 25 other House Democrats.


If passed, the bill would allow 1,441 specific places in the U.S. to be renamed, as their current names have been flagged as offensive or as specifically containing racial slurs. The list would largely be made up of geographic features, such as forests, bodies of water, and general stretches of nature.


Business Insider reports that roughly 600 of these locations, for example, have the N-word in their names, though it is unknown which of these are on the current proposed list. Other questionably named places flagged by the outlet included slurs for Mexican people and Native American women.

"We need to immediately stop honoring the ugly legacy of racism and bigotry, and that's why I'm introducing the Reconciliation in Place Names Act with my colleagues," Warren said in an official statement.

"These terms are harmful relics from the era of invidious yet lawful discrimination that must be removed from public property," Green added in his own statement. "Racism, even in geography, cannot be tolerated in a country that strives for liberty and justice for all."

The specific process the bill would establish involves the creation of a board responsible for planning the name changes, filled with civil rights experts and tribal officials. Public input would also be sought in determining name alternatives. Suggestions would then be brought to Congress or others governing bodies to make them official.

Pieces of geography are not the only names being reconsidered. Certain species of fish have also recently seen a move away from nomenclature found to be culturally insensitive.

Government agencies and other official wildlife organizations are working to get rid of the term "Asian carp" as a term to refer to invasive fish species. The bighead, silver, grass, and black carp species were imported to Mississippi from China in the 1970s "to help clear sewage and aquaculture ponds of algae, weeds, and parasites," Yahoo News reports. The fish have since become a nuisance to various ecosystems, on account of being "voracious eaters."

There have been pushes to change the name, seen as derogatory to Asian cultures and people, since at least 2014. However, the call became stronger in the last year after the rise in racism and racially motivated violence against Asian and Asian American people in the U.S. Both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee plan to fully move away from the name by Aug. 2.

i am sorry but a asian carp from china is a asian carp, no matter what fauxcohantas says.

No, there are 2.

Cowardice is the 2nd one.

Cowards will scorn and look angry, --------------------------but we can't tell because they are wearing their masks,

How much insanity we gunna endure before D Day?

Is Nig*er Butte on the list?

The Left likes to throw around the term misinformation in a casual and matter of fact way. Saul Alinski 101- always accuse your enemies of the various crimes for which you are in fact guilty. I would say the long term pandemic is propaganda. It’s being pumped into the minds of millions and millions. And the Left controls the vast majority of the avenues of the message- the media, the entertainment industry and the education system. Not only that, counter messaging is being systematically eliminated through censorship on the platforms that actually give us anything resembling an even playing field. Even the most stubborn minds can’t ignore truth forever. The mind craves truth but if we don’t figure out how to get the counter messaging to the people there is no victory.

Freedom is an “Anti Government” slogan in 2021.
The presidents own press agent openly admits the administration is working with social and traditional media, effectively admitting what we’re told is nothing more than propaganda. Men are competing in women’s sports, jobs and student enrollments are openly based on a persons gender(or lack thereof), race and political leaning with total disregard for qualification, it’s an open secret that our intelligence agencies are illegally spying on citizens, the democrats just openly stole a presidential election.

Yes, the world has went insane.

I wonder if Fauxahontas has reconciled with the university she defrauded when she claimed Injun blood.

Flip switch, flip chart, White bread, White Christmas, black Friday, Nig*ger in every rap song ever, black pride, yellow fever, red whine, red sox, white sox and on and on.

Female American Aboriginal Crossing (where the Tanana meets the Yukon River) just doesn’t sound right somehow.

Nor the similar for Old Squaw ducks....
