Chamberlin Rock, which had sat on Observatory Point since 1925, was named after Thomas Chamberlin, a geologist and former university president who served from 1887 to 1892.
A 1925 Wisconsin State Journal article used the n-word as part of a nickname for the giant boulder.

He is the type of person that would slowly move the goal posts too. He would go from a rock cant be racist, to a statue cant be racist, to a flag cant be racist, to words cant be racist, etc, etc.

So someone almost a hundred years ago called the rock by the n word, and that makes the rock racist so it had to be removed?

Am I missing something? I admit it wouldnt be the first time.

Sympathetic of the concerns and interested in if there was discussion about something more symbolically transformative such as potentially renaming the rock in celebration of this change. Not advocating for this position, inquiring if that was ever discussed.
i.McWhorter: Among BIPOC students the consensus is for the removal of the rock. Renaming does not remove the symbol which has a known history and symbolizes oppression and discrimination.

They're only clowing themselves when they offered no proper rebuttal. Notice how they've contributed zero insight besides their standard elementary grade insults never to be seen again.

Wouldn't it have been easier to have renamed the rock? Like, couldn't we have called it the President Barack Hussein Obama Stone of Wellness and Education?

I can understand tearing down a statue of a racist, but moving a boulder because it was favored by a racist? I won't call it an overreaction. But it does seem like taking aim at the wrong target. The stone wasn't the one that espoused hateful views or came up with defamatory nicknames.

Please remove yourselves and your hate-speech from this topic. This thread is a celebration of removing all racist rocks from campuses.

Be more considerate please.

https://news.wisc.edu/no-longer-a-memorial-rock-removed-from-campus/

The rock had sat at the crest of Observatory Hill since 1925. That same year, it was referred to in a newspaper headline by a deeply offensive nickname that included a racial slur. The derogatory nickname was commonly used at the time to refer to any large, dark rock.

So because of the color of the rock it was called the n word, and the rock is the villain in this? Seriously?
