Famous for their Blue Crab Pho soup.

Who you calling Pho... You Pho!!

I am not sure that the Lord in your username is acceptable... it has negative connotations for me!!!

That'd be a positive. Damn thing almost looks like a checkered flag.

Even as a black guy, forget this politically correct BS. I'd rather know Baltimore by the name I've always known it by. I'm sure you can find something offensive in everything if you look for it hard enough. I'm not even remotely offended. Sam Houston was a slave owner, let's change the name of Houston.

You stop it with that common sense good sir!

And if anyone thinks about scuttling the USCGC Taney, they'll have about 40,000 unarmed protestors in blue suits holding beers and signs advocating for more beers to answer to!

Quote:Colloquially referred to as the New World, this second super continent came to be termed "Americas", deriving its name from Americus, the Latin version of Vespucci's first name.[1][2]

Amerigo Vespucci was a white guy. Be prepared for change.

Washington owned slaves, so let's rename Washington DC or move the capital (they really should move it but I digress).

New Mexico is named after a country that was conquisted (yes, conquisted) by the Spanish who slaughtered the natives, let's rename it.

.... I like the Maryland Flag...

At least it's unique. Half the U.S. State flags are just a blue field with a state seal/symbol in the middle.

I don't mind the uniqueness of it, it's the color scheme that causes me to look away before I have a seizure.

Good idea.

Then everyone left behind better duck and cover.
