I have camped in Nigger Bill canyon out in Utah.
As Herman Cain said this morning, that is/was “insensitive” and it sounds like Perry took care of it (it’s been painted over.) I’m trying to figure out how it got the name to begin with.... More importantly, when is the black community going to be outraged with rappers who use that word with impunity? I’m waiting.....snooze.
Sheet, man. Perry’s such a follower. That’s the name of my family’s hunting camp.
Oh for God’s Sake! OK, have you guys figured it out yet? Who is it that all the republican candidates are going after and who is it the press is going after? And who is it the debate moderators have gone after? And why do you suppose that is?
Is anybody upset about the town of White Settlement, outside of Ft. Worth? Didn’t think so.
Isn’t that named after a type of rock formation? Old timers around here referred to certain rocks that were virtually impossible to break with a sledge hammer as “niggerheads”.
They had virtually no seams that would allow them to fracture.
If rank stupidity qualifies Obama for president, it ought to qualify this imbecile, too.
The Washington Post + Obama Campaign opposition research team is in full swing.
“Governor Perry and his family never owned, controlled or managed the property referenced in the Washington Post story. The 42,000-acre ranch is owned by the Hendricks Home for Children, a West Texas charity.
“Perry’s father painted over offensive language on a rock soon after leasing the 1,000-acre parcel in the early 1980s..."
Maybe that was back in the days when he was a Democrat.
I wish there was some way for conservatives to straighten out the media on their bias and tell them to get the hell out of our elections.
I’ve never heard this and I’m a Missisippian who has had leases/or owned hunting property in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama and a very large 15,000 acre lease NW of Austin near Burnet Texas...in my 54 years
and I have never heard the term NIGGERGEAD.....ever till today

“Niggerhead”?
They are digging deep on Perry. They are afraid
he may act niggardly when it comes social services.
Big effing deal, but it does touch on the lighter side of the not-so-old West.
The Renaming of the West is an ongoing saga. There are quite a few places that have had to be renamed in recent years due to their decidedly un-PC original monikers.
Can anyone think of other examples?
I guess Rick Perry was going to take some votes away from the Democratic Party plantation.
Perry wants everyone to succeed to get government out of our lives.
So the race card is pulled.
This is a dirty business.
What about Assawoman Bay, in Maryland?
This isn’t a story about facts.
All they want to do is attach the “n” word to Perry. It seems Cain has already fallen for it. Man I’m sick of this crap. Cain needs to get the facts from Perry before he comments further.
This is a non-issue. Nothing to it.
Unless you’re its feeding frenzy for the rabid Perry haters.
