That's how long the 2 billion year old Chamberlin Rock sat in place at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Estimated to be 70 tons, naturally immovable and deposited by a glacier, it took racially motivated SJW's, university money and heavy construction equipment to have it moved. You see, almost 100 years ago, large dark-colored boulders in that region were called "niggerheads." Therefore, that big dark rock by its very existence was "painful" to those always looking for ways to be offended. A link to the story can be found here.
My property is littered with all kinds of glacial rubble left behind by the retreat of the ice sheet 12,000 years ago. A few are the size of compact cars. Thanks to the U of W social justice warriors pointing out something I had never heard before, they are all now niggerheads, even the lighter colored granite ones. Don't like that? Then please feel free to have them all removed from my property at your expense, thereby making my property more usable. BFYTW!
Now let's talk about one of my favorite snacks, Brazil Nuts. You see, my Memere' as well as my wife's grandmother referred to these yummy nuts in the shell as "Nigger Toes." If that phrase, which was last uttered in my presence sometime in the early 90's when my wife's grandmother (who was from the south by the way) was still alive offends you, then rush down to your local store and demand their removal from the shelves. Contact nut companies to have them taken off the market. All because some old people that are now deceased used to call them that.
See how stupid all of you wokesters and the cancel culture is?
My parents and grandparents called brazil nuts that too. It was common. I had black friends who ALSO called them that. The woke are assholes.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about that. My lunatic left ex-Main Lady told me that when she was a child (over a hundred years ago) that's what people called 'em - niggatoez, or nigger toes.
ReplyDeleteOddly, it didn't seem to bother her. Her eldest daughter, though...
Nice blog, by the way.
Why didn't they just agree to call it something else? "Big f&$king rock" has a nice ring to it. Would have saved a lot of trouble.
ReplyDeleteIn the Mojave Desert, there is a barrel cactus (Echinocactus polycephalus) that used to be called “niggerhead”, though that isn’t used anymore. So, now what? Destroy it, against conservation laws, which the revere? Or, tolerate something that will terrorize them with its continued existence? Heads will explode!
