I was subbed there when it was called something not so wholesome.

I liked the old name and I challenge you to find me someone who was offended by it

The old name was a very poor excuse for people to say the N word who shouldn't say the N word.

People who stumbled onto the community at a later date after the original memes faded into obscurity (probably). That said, it's probably possible to go back to the old name on some instance, though it will attract those who once again think it's a convenient excuse to be racist.

What was the old name? Asking for a friend.
