    Cracker Lake sounds appealing.

    Is this really debatable?

    It was called Ni**er Head Lake until 1962

    Now it is called Negro Head Lake?

    What the hell is wrong with people?

    No it isn’t okay! If the people don’t want to name it after some black Appeals Court Judge no one has heard of, so be it.

    I don’t care, name it Bob Lanier Lake or Jew Don Boney Lake or Bill O’Brien Lake.... just try to avoid being overtly racist.

    Lmao is this real? This sounds like an episode of South Park.

    Hey everyone! We know you're upset about N***er Lake, so we came up with a compromise solution.... Negrohead Lake!

    I agree they should change the name but I think I and many others will find "Bill O'Brien Lake" also offensive. ;)

    I'm not surprised that it once was called that and in US history there have been a lot of places with offensive names and even now still do.

    I'd say it's offensive but Baytown itself is offensive. It's like the alcoholic, cig smoking sister of Willowbrook.

    Baytown is like a harbinger of what is to come if you keep going East toward the piney woods.

    *shudder*

    I posted it on my Facebook. I’m excited to see the regular suspects try and defend it.

    That's impressive. I haven't been in that mall in around 30 years.
