So all we gotta do to get rid of something is call that something a “n——-head”?

Not even that, you just have to say that 100 years ago someone referred to if with a derogatory name in passing.

A FKN rock….unbelievable LOL??

Blacks (and whites) were once hung from trees. All trees should be cut down.

Cats dislike when you call biscuits “catheads” so don’t.

This was back in the 90s, but in the small town of White Castle there was a black dude who ran for city council, a lot of people just knew he by his nickname "super nword" so when he registered for the election he included his nickname and won (the city council doesn't have districts, it might be like 5 members and if 7 or 8 people run, the top 5 vote getters wins

I’m finding zero evidence of this. Can anyone else corroborate this or is this just another one of your awful made up stories?

This is an example of ALMOST literally searching for racism under every rock.

Imagine having so little meaningful work to do that your biggest “crusade” of the moment is to have a fricking rock moved because of a purported racial connotation from over 100 years ago. Worse, imagine actually caving to such stupid demands.

But I guess the good news is that after 100+ years, racism has FINALLY been eliminated in the state of Wisconsin. So I guess that makes it all worth the struggle of having to endure the presence of a giant rock for decades

Thank you
