UW to remove racist rock from campus

UW to remove racist rock
quote:
UW-Madison is moving forward on a plan to remove a boulder from Observatory Hill after calls from students of color who see the rock as a painful reminder of the history of racism on campus.
The 70-ton boulder is officially known as Chamberlin Rock in honor of Thomas Crowder Chamberlin, a geologist and former university president. But the rock was referred to at least once after it was dug out of the hill as a “n***erhead,” a commonly used expression in the 1920s to describe any large dark rock.

This will be the softest generation in US history. Absolutely pathetic.

Good racism has gotten out of control in rock society. Just because they’re inanimate doesn’t mean their hate should be acceptable

Soft people are submissive.
All part of the plan.

After the rock is removed, the Black Student Union’s focus will shift to generating ideas for how students of color can reclaim the space, such as installing a piece of art, McWhorter said.

Probably will build a 50 ton monument of a Ritz cracker box.

And in related news, Planter's decides to stop selling Brazil Nuts. And those whistling chasers they sell at fireworks stands? Those are gone now too.

Who among us can honestly say they’ve never called someone a n*****head?

We didn't land on n***erhead rock, n***erhead rock landed on us!

They could just make a sculpture out of the rock. Like round it down so it isn't so edgy. Then paint it something everyone likes, like watermelon.
