The university paid 50 grand to remove a rock that was referred to in a newspaper article, in 1925!!!!, with a racial slur. But, so says the snowflakes, the nickname was so painful, people of color couldn’t even look at the rock. There will be no end to this sort of thing. Once a group feels the power they possess, they will not relinquish it.
(I guessed what the nickname was, but it took me a long time to confirm because every other article I found on this topic steered clear of the nickname altogether. The news outlet below published it.)
Trees were used for lynching; so all the trees should be removed from the campus too. Black slaves were forced to trim plantation lawns; so all the sod on campus should be skimmed off and dumped in Lake Superior.
The fucking idiots doing this deserve to be stomped to death with hobnail boots.
I once referred to 0bama as n—–head. Someone got “less than $50,000” to get rid of him? I’ll even write it in a headline to streamline the process.
I’m guessing the slur was “Barock”…
A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
Always remember, no man is an island,
but every man has a peninsula.
Imagine how POC would feel if they knew how strongly the dems fought against the Republicans that wanted to free the slaves.
Yah, I guessed BlackRock. Whadda I know.

It has a bit of a red, purple, & pink colour to it.
If they want to pay to ship it up to my front lawn I will re-name it “Dick Head” Rock.
$5 and anyone can get a picture with my Dick.
^^^ I tried four times to post a similar picture, but the blog format wouldn’t let it post, so I tried a different one. ^^^
I haven’t opened the link btw, the rock just struck me as looking like a gorilla’s head – which could be deemed racists in today’s snowflake world.
Looks kinda like a brazil nut.
So was the slur “Niggerhead?”
In the 30’s – 40’s there was a produce company who used that term and the picture of a fat black woman with huge lips & nappy hair.
@Deep Thoughts – “…but every man has a peninsula…”
Not trans men….no wait, you said peninsula, not peni…Nevermind.
I recall some republican was targeted for having a rock named niggerhead on his ranch or somewhere. Rick Perry, maybe.
I get pissed off at rocks, too. Fucking rocks!
…maybe it wouldbe easier to take such complaints seriously if that very same word weren’t blasted at 1000 decibels from EVERY POPULAR MODERN BLACK SONG…
…so I guess we need to send teams to the desert to dig up all the Nigerhead Cacti then…

Replace it with a 70 ton chunk of obsidian. Maybe that’ll make them nappy, I mean happy.
My gramma used to called Brazil Nuts niggertoes. No one even batted an eye.
$50K Seems a little excessive… Unless a government agency was involved & Joe got his cut
Wild Bill, my grandmother also said niggertoes referring to Brazil nuts and she’s black.
It didn’t matter at all to her. When she grew up nobody said only blacks could say nigger.
I didn’t know the correct name for those nuts until I got to High school. LOL!
Now BLM will burn down the campus because the company used straps the haul it out, resembling a noose over a head.
“This is a huge accomplishment for us,” Black Student Union President Nalah McWhorter said at the Campus Planning Commission meeting last fall. “We won’t have that constant reminder, that symbol that we don’t belong here.”
Her time would have been better used to help some inner city kid learn how to read, but her hypersensitive feelings about a rock mattered more to her.

BLM should remove it, by symbolically breaking it down into pea gravel first!
With ballpeen hammers. 😀
Blowing it up would have been more fun, and cheaper too.
Now if we could just get rid of Madison.
“@Deep Thoughts – “…but every man has a peninsula…”

Oh my Gawd! it’s horrible! make it go away! somebody bring a CHIZZL!

…and then they should use those hammers to pound every last bit of that jagged gravel up their asses.
Heck, I’da removed it for $49,999.00!
Could have saved the morons some money.
izlamo delenda est …
Would have been more cost effective to transport the “offended” to a mental hospital.
