No, not what you may think. Definitely not a part of the flannel wearing crowd.

Clown world just became more clowny.

UW-Madison to remove 70-ton boulder some view as reminder of campus' racist past (https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/education/university/uw-madison-to-remove-70-ton-boulder-some-view-as-reminder-of-campus-racist-past/article_cf1b2975-ef90-5df2-991e-23571d5a0afa.html)



The boulder was referred to as a “n——-head” — a commonly used expression in the 1920s to describe any large dark rock — at least once in a 1925 Wisconsin State Journal story. University historians have not found any other time that the term was used but said the Ku Klux Klan was active on campus at that time.


UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank approved the removal of Chamberlin Rock (https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/education/university/uw-madison-chancellor-signs-off-on-removing-rock-seen-by-some-as-symbol-of-racism/article_4eb8563a-7eb7-5bf8-948b-03170f98107e.html) in January but the Wisconsin Historical Society needed to sign off on the rock’s removal because it was located within 15 feet of a Native American burial site.




Anyone remember Sex Stones? :D

Had the reporter at the time it was discovered called it a 'white head' it would be hated even more.

The local quarry just calls it gravel or lime or even white lime (oops).

That rock could not be hauled on a standard semi load.

So what reparations do rocks pay? Or are the quarry's enough already?
