This is the plant which grows in TX, OK, and KS and which we grew up calling "niggerhead" 60 years ago.
I'd be willing to bet that Perry's hunting lease was named after this prolific plant. This picture is from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
maybe this will enable us all to get over the whole nigger thing once and for all.
The only time in my life I ever heard the word “niggerhead” was years ago in reference to some big rocks in a field. Sounds like this is the case at Perry’s hunting camp,also.
How come nobody has mentioned Brazil nuts?
What does everyone call brazil nuts? We call them niggertoes...even my black friends call them that.
I think it is funny that the phony hit piece on Perry from our friends at WaPo is now a laughingstock. These names are everywhere and to numerous to list. No one cares.
negerkusse - name of a cookie they had at the German markets in the early 70’s (seen as a SP4 in the 14th Cav)
although this means “Negro’s kiss” not “Negro’s head”
One afternoon I was sent to fix the VHF radio antenna for the Nuttall Styris company in downtown San Diego. As I was wrapping up, a fisherman came to the parts counter. He needed a new niggerhead for his boat. A black salesman came to the counter to serve him. The poor guy stammered and tried every way imaginable to ask for the product without using the colloquial name. Finally, the salesman exclaimed, "Oh, you want a niggerhead". The fisherman looked very relieved. He simply couldn't bring himself to use the phrase. BTW, the fisherman was white.
A similar situation occurred some weeks later at the office. We had cans of small diameter rope soaked in gooey asphalt for the purpose of sealing deck flanges. The common term for the product at the office was "monkey shit". Somebody took the last can from the stockroom and left the purchasing agent flummoxed. I need to order 10 cans of "monkey shit", but I have no idea what the real name is.".
niggerhead oysters, very famous for the beautiful bright graphics on the label. For lovers of things vintage. GRAPHICS on the label. :)
It’s ok—it’s in NY. They’re much more enlightened up there.
I used to swim at Nigger Beach in Lee County, Florida. It was on the left just before the causeway leading to Sanibel Island.
Here in the UK the word ‘Nigger’ was commonly used, particularly by older folks up until quite recently. My grandmother was the sweetest, kindest old lady you could wish to meet and would regularly use the term ‘Nigger Brown’ to describe a colour without the slightest intention to offend.
Likewise in films of the forties and fifties:

I once saw a bar called “Limey’s” in the US so as you can imagine I was outraged and demanded it was immediately renamed “White Anglo-saxon Celtics” bar. . . . . :D
This story is nothing but fecal waste.
The Democrats know about fecal waste.
The more you stir it the worse it stinks. So they keep stirring.
Typical Democrat stunt, to have a racist in the White House and accuse someone else of being racist.
I am very proud to be niggardly and I am hopefull that it will lead to my ability to bring much gayness to others.
I grew up going to Sambo’s to eat. I still have the book Little Black Sambo’s. Never even thought of racism as a kid.
