The Obama Translation of Ps. 46
Well, there's King James, the NAB, the NRSV, the Jerusalem....
Maroons (from the word marronage or American/Spanish cimarrón: "fugitive, runaway", lit. "living on mountaintops"; from Spanish cima: "top, summit") were runaway slaves in the West Indies, Central America, South America, and North America, who formed independent settlements together. The same designation has also become a derivation for the verb marooning.
If you want to take the third most used definition of anything, I'm sure you can locate some sort of racist intent. Like, "Anony is a Dick". I you look deeply enough, I imagine you will find a slave owner who referred to one of his slaves as "Dick".
