    University Of Wisconsin To Remove “Racist” Rock From Campus

    The prestigious University of Wisconsin, in the famously left-wing city of Madison, is moving forward with a plan to remove a large rock on its campus over claims of racism.


    “We Won’t Have That Symbol”

    The 70 ton boulder, officially known as “Chamberlin Rock,” will be removed from Observatory Hill on the University of Wisconsin’s Madison campus.


    The rock is named after a past University president.


    The reason for the removal? The rock was referred to as a “n***erhead” – one single time, in a newspaper in 1925.
    The expression from the 1920s used to refer to large, black rocks.


    “This is a huge accomplishment for us,” said Black Student Union President Nalah McWhorter, whose organization had been calling for the removal of the rock over the summer.


    “We won’t have that constant reminder, that symbol that we don’t belong here.”

    THIS is a huge accomplishment? Hmmmmm, doesn't say much about their level of standards does it? Blaming a rock for one idiot who gave it a nickname?

    What exactly, makes a rock, racist? Thats almost too funny for a response ....almost...

    ....so, what does this "racist " rock do?

    Does it call black people ni**er as they walk by? Does it let white people but, not black people, lean against it?

    Does it not hire black people?

    How can a rock, be racist?

    Is this what they mean when they say Social Justice is leaving No Stone unturned?

    Or perhaps you can find something that "Triggers" under every rock?

    Take a naturally occurring geode and put it in plain sight with a "Brain" label on it..............they'll get rid of that faster than the racist rock.
