That rock has been around for hundreds of millions of years and has never seen something this stupid.

this is all SJWs stand for (and liberals and the media allow)

It’s not logic
It’s not rational
It’s feelings and just because they can.

And if they can and demand, it must be done or you are labeled either anti-{blank} or some form of {blank}-ist for questioning it

And then even if you back liberals into a corner and say “ok even you have to admit this is fricking absurd, right?” they will just reply “I mean yeah but it’s just a rock (or just whatever specific dumb issue it is) who cares?!” One slippery step at a time.

It’s just this one flag. It’s just this one statue. It’s just this one street name. Its just this one sports team name. It’s just this one chant. It’s just this one school alma mater. It’s just this rock. On and on, we enabled and have these pussies control

First, they saw for the statues, and I didn't care, because I had not been carved into one.

Next, they came for the military base names, and I didn't care, because I was on a college campus.

Then, they came for me, and there was no one left to care.

I would love to be a university president for a week and get to say no to requests like this while laughing in their face, then watch all hell break loose. But I'd likely get removed by the Bd of Trustees by Wednesday.

So now rocks are racist?
Trees are. Why not rocks.

Soon, water and air will be, too.

In fact, it's amazing that The Sun hasn't been called out as being sexist with demands to rename it something less male sounding.

That's a nice looking rock. Are they accepting requests to take ownership?

It's obvious that the rock only got to campus because of white privilege. I expect crime to decrease dramatically as a result.

The university estimated this winter that removal would cost between $30,000 and $75,000


I bet you if you offered this to the “aggrieved parties” instead the rock wouldn’t matter all of a sudden

By this logic, anything ever called ****** should be removed from the US, right?



What’s amazing is that if you drive thru the hood anywhere in the US today you’ll see ******rigged stuff everywhere. It seems like they would get rid of all their stuff

Good. On my college tours, that rock whispered "This is MAGA Country" as I walked by

A smart New Orleans resident would start a campaign that potholes are racist.

Why did you leave this part out of the OP? Seems like the reason they think its racist is an important part of the story.


We should blow up the levee north of Port Allen because it used to be referred to as both "Free N--- Point" and "Dead N--- Point" in the past. Some black people might die in the process but it's completely logical.
