By the name of this route, I can see Oklahoma has changed very little. Disappointing to say the least. If it ranks as a bomb, why not delete this offensive "route" from the database?

You can not change history! The route was named quite a long time ago, times when use of the word was not so offensive as some find it today. Still, this is an old route, Arnold did not like it, but I think we should wait for more input before you guys try to stomp it.

I can see that CO still has their higher than thou attitude. You do not know Oklahoma, and you are a fool if you base your perception of the state on a single route name. Further, what exactly is Oklahoma not changing from? How do you know it hasn't changed? You haven't logged a single tic in the state, so by what I can see, you don't know a thing about Oklahoma. The locals are capable of policing themselves, and they don't need any help from Colorado or Texas for that matter.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma and know the culture quite well. I don't think it's "higher than thou" to not post some offensive bomb-rated route. Do you really think anyone will use this beta?

By the way, there was never a time when this word wasn't offensive to most people. The fact that some think this, only reflects the pockets of bigotry and indifference still found in many backwaters throughout the country. Do you really want to be on the side that supports the use of this word?

In at least one guidebook it's referred to as "Black Mans Jump"
