With a seemingly unending list of inanimate objects now deemed to be "racist" please allow me to point out that only the low-IQ people who who see objects as racist are themselves the racists. Their one-track little minds are where racism resides.
and that, my friend, is one of the truest statements ever made.
False outrage gives the small minded a feeling of relevance. Bending society to ones will with stupid causes gives otherwise insignificant people 15 minutes of fame and a feeling of power. These idiots have been around forever but today's social media has given them a platform that grossly amplifies their message, no matter how stupid it may be. Bob
It was called "n*--- head" rock. Gee those good white liberals in Wisconsin gave it that name a century ago. I am shocked!
White rocks matter
Pathetic
Pathetic
you can say that again
Wonder why they didn't just change the rocks name like they do with sports teams and such. Sure would have been easier and cheaper.
Then, I wonder where they put it?? For sale on e bay or gunbroker? 😁
Don't bad mouth me guys if I admit that I'm a UW alumni.
I guess this place will have to change names:
Pathetic...

Here is a link to the story
That cost a few bucks to accomplish. I wish I had the rock on my property.
I find it odd how a rock can upset people just sitting there. Now if it was rolling down a hill heading toward you house it might be a bit upsetting. They never really came out and said what the rocks raycist name was.
What’s next, Mt Rushmore?

How quickly we slide down this slippery slope, when do we remove the night sky LOL? WTH
Used to live in Rapid City and could see Mt Rushmore from my house. Seriously, there have been a number of DEMOCRATs and their sycophants express their desire to destroy the monument all for race based issues.
it figures, it was UW Madison

Two of those guys owned slaves. I bet there are Libs and Socialists making plans right now to dynamite Mt. Rushmore.
Even worse we have a huge monument in Atlanta on Stone Mountain done by the same guy, Gutzon Borglum. Huge carvings of REBEL SLAVE HOLDERS Lee and Davis, and Jackson, I think Stonewall owned only one slave. These Libs that run Atlanta want that carving gone!
Give them a five pound hammer and a chisel and tell them to have at it.
You won’t hear no more from them.
they would carve it into a * or some other such shape, then brag about it............
I read that story today..........one of the most ridiculous things I have heard about.....a racist rock......pppfffttt.
I hope I'm around long enough to see how all this plays-out. It sure is going in the wrong direction right now.
😒
Most of those people dont have the brains to figure out how to use a chisel and if the hammer weighs more than smart phone or I pad, it would be too heavy.
Can of spray-paint from Wally World: Yes
Lordy-Lordy. What's next and I just ordered a load of "black" dirt. Hope no one pickets my yard tomorrow😜
I think all rope should be banned along with all trees, for obvious reasons . does not matter that every one was a candidate for hanging and I would say every possible variation of race on earth has been hung at some point
but at least I can sleep better tonight knowing a huge rock has been removed until yesterday I had no idea was even there😮
...If you want to realize how REALLY unbelievable all this is... read the article too, freaking amazing that there are that many complete morons, pure idiots, and ignorant people are around on that campus, and city...only up north... all in one place...
All in the name of progress…
In other local news:
”In June, students at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, petitionedfor the removal of a statue of Abraham Lincoln because it was donated to the campus by a member of the Ku Klux Klan”
Decades ago it was called n… rock. No one has called it that within the lifetime of these wannabe victims.
I wish to hell someone would just stand up and say ‘bull crap. You are not offended by this. There is no way you could be offended by this. Grow up or go home home.’

Guess I don't get how an inanimate object can be racist, especially an un carved piece of stone that was dedicated to a Geologist!
2 billion year old rock? LMAO
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Yes, this country has actually sank this low.
Just boggles the mind.
I need some mesquite cleared/moved. Any racist connotations for mesquite?
Oklahoma Joe is selling 2 pounds of mesquite for 13 bucks on Amazon. You ought to go into business.
My wife’s cousin sends us boxes of mesquite from Arizona and we send him hickory from Virginia.
The more I read this the madder I get. Now that the rock is gone, I wonder what's next. On the top of Bascom Hill is a large statue of a seated Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps he will be next.
😒
Well this may get poofed LSD but I don't think it's that bad:
When I was in school there in the late '50's and early 60's it was a standing saying that if a virgin would walk by old Abe, he would stand!
🤣
It was called that once in a newspaper article in 1925 . How much work and time was involved in finding that out do folks could get outraged? With all the issues that really affect society , we can all sleep better knowing the sjw folks are keeping us safe .
