"Just stop it. Do you see how absolutely f#cking ridiculous this is to spend time, money and effort moving a rock because of what some people called it 100 years ago? Have we lost our ever loving minds, and any pretense of common sense? "
I do believe, that in the 1920s a god bit of the population of Wisconsin were German speakers, as in those times it was not uncommon to see a sign in Milwaukee shop windows saying: English Spoken Here.
Also the ‘n’ word is Dutch and, I guess, German for the color black. So lets ban/exile all German and Dutch speakers to satisfy the hatred and ignorance of the few.

THAT’S RACIST!!!
And for some reason the late BB King appeared on Joe Bonamassa’s 2019 blues album Black Rock.
Should have sued him for suggesting such a racist idea.
I’ve come to the conclusion that everything to the DemoMarxist domestic enemies is racist. That’s THEIR problem and it should stay that way, let these head cases suffer. Like Sebastian Gorka says “You do not have the right to not be offended” The problems start when we have people stupid enough to cater to these lunatics.
Folks we need to start fighting back, somehow.
Why didn't they just rename it?
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the term “n*****head” was commonly used in that era to describe any large dark rock.
Are they going to remove all the large dark rocks?
Imagine how luxurious your live is when you have time to find a reason to hate a rock. Those poor poor poor oppressed black students. Probably all on full scholarships getting worthless marxist study degrees are so oppressed by a rock.
“complaints by minority students that it is a symbol of racism.”
How many waaaaambulances should I send?
LOL
If not a do over in pure white paint and re-name it The Rock of Cocaine.
Is the new location for the rock going to be a destination go-to place for selfies of vacationers? "The boulder will be moved to university-owned land near Lake Kegonsa."
Just when I think the left can’t get any more absolutely, utterly stupid, they find a way. A racist rock. Is there anything so ridiculous they can’t believe it?
Older topographic maps show the original name of what is now called “Negro Bar” on the American River in Folsom, California. I suppose there will be calls to destroy all those historical documents ... and some people will agree!
What will they call knotty pieces of wood you can’t split with a splitting maul?
Personally, I think we need the Biden administration to set up a task force to find all black rocks over a 6 inch diameter. They should be piled into dump trucks across the entirety of the US and immediately dumped into reservoirs, lakes, and oceans, never to be seen again. This should most certainly be added to the next infrastructure bill.
Just more marxist year zero stuff. The more capitulation, the bolder (boulder) they will become.
From head to toe, they all must go./sarc
So was there a sign, plaque or writing on the rock with a derogatory term on it? Or did they just remove it because it was a dark rock?
