Nowdays they’d get by with calling it blackhead. Comparing a rock to a festered pimple is also problematic

What a waste of time and money on a toxic belief system.

Beyond parody.
But money spent moving a 70-ton racist rock might be money not spent on the core university mission - pouring hatred of America into students’ minds.

“symbol of racist past”
Hmmm, Slo Joe has a racist past, can we get a bulldozer over to his house?

UW must have money to burn. Time to request refunds.

After they move that rock, will they then remove all the coral outgrowths from the shallows?

Have any of these idiots heard of the Myth of Sisyphus?

There is never any kind of push-back against these crazy demands. So we will most certainly get more of it.
Old days:
Student: “That boulder offends me!”
College administrator: “Then don’t look at it.”
Today:
Student: “That boulder offends me!”
College administrator: “My apologies. It will be removed immediately.”

Cheaper to just paint it white.
To: rellimpank
So, call the field where the rock used to be, “Nagger Head Field”, where people who annoy you like to hang out.
To: rellimpank
This is just the beginning... EVERY large black rock on planet Earth must be dug up and pulverized. And white people have to pay for it.
To: rellimpank
What makes it a commonly used expression if no one ever heard it before?

Shut the school down, that would make more sense and be a bigger benefit than moving a big rock/boulder.

I killed my first deer at age 13 near Niggerhead Creek in the Cascade Mountains, Washington State. It was listed on the map as such, later changed to Yellowjacket Creek.
I don't know if they ever changed the name of Bear Shit Lake in Kitsap County, though.

I’m guessing they’ll smash it into gravel. We just can’t allow racist boulders to run around loose.
