Nowadays, big difference is the total surrender of Administrators to the children of the people who pay the exorbitant tuition. They must “at all costs” not only not offend the students, but also treat them as noble warriors against injustice. That’s what 50K a year will buy these days.

You know what kids called it when they’d knock on doors and run away? Ni****rknocking. Should all of those doors be removed?

People who let their elections be stolen by politicians backing and supporting racist steer Feng riots and arsons ... deserve to have their tax money peed away moving a 70 ton “racist” rock which probably has never Burnt, Looted, or Murdered anyone

Ps: where do the racists propose to move their “racist” rock? Wouldn’t it still be “racist” there?! Idea: they could save the moving costs by just nuked it where it sits. This will have some salutary benefits and at no additional cost, too.

The Wisconsin Black Student Union called for the rock’s removal over the summer. President Nalah McWhorter said the rock is a symbol of the daily injustices that students of color face on a predominantly white campus. “This is a huge accomplishment for us,” she said on Wednesday. “We won’t have that constant reminder, that symbol that we don’t belong here.”

Can you imagine going through life with that giant chip on your shoulder and seeing racism in EVERYTHING? Waking up every day and thinking to yourself "OK, what is going to aggrieve me today?"

Can you imagine thinking that getting a ROCK removed is a "huge accomplishment"? She's hit her peak in life; it's all downhill from that huge accomplishment.

No wonder they are all such miserable people. If only they weren't bent on making everybody else miserable, too.

Bigger picture, the money wasted moving that boulder could have helped how many poor people with real needs?

The environmentalists are about to be very angry.

Coral structures, repeatedly exposed by passing waves before sinking again beneath the surface, are routinely referred to as “nigger heads” by sailors and surfers. These are to be avoided as they will tear the bottom out of a ship (or the stomach of a surfer). The only remedy according to the article would be to remove the offending structures. No doubt this would cause irreparable damage to fragile reef structures around the world. But Liberals would feel less burdened by the knowledge that any reference to the “N-word” was being erased from existence.

Except by myriad rappers, who are allowed to say the word endlessly as their birthright.

And how much is the WISCONSIN’S TAXPAYERS getting ripped off with this ‘racist’ Boulder? I bet since it will be fun by the state, it will cost 100 times more than if a private company moved it ..

Just get a gang in there and make gravel from that racist boulder. There's always a demand for gravel.

Except maybe all those little pieces of gravel would now be "Mini Niggerheads" and everyone of them would be racist so you would be far worse off than when you started. Kind of like Gremlins...

For in-state students I think the tuition at UW is much less than $50K. As of a couple of years ago it was a little over $10K. I don't know what they charge out-of-state students. Illegal aliens probably get charged the in-state rate.

Meanwhile, in Iowa, Black Hawk County still hasn't been changed to African American Hawk County. Racism is everywhere.

Going to let UW-Madision know about all the racist tree stumps, weeds and rocks on my property. Get their team over here ASAP!

(Just remembered that virulently racist old refrigerator!)

The first mistake was allowing affirmative action admissions which let these misfits in. Shut up...nitwit snowflakes.

I thought these kids were there to get an education? Instead they are learning how to be stupid—a 70 ton of stupidity.

There is a small town in ND near where I grew up named Squaw Gap. There must be something offensive about that. But it is so obscure that it is left alone.
