O.K. Really???
It was "Negro", not anything else.
Is this really offensive??

Hopefully the new name will bring back my business. Thanks, people who felt this was a priority.

I grew up fishing there a lot in the 1970's.

The previous name was more offensive . . . . .

i was messing around with my Simrad MFD this weekend. When determining which device controls the power, they use the term "Master and Slave"... probably time for a software update
