It is difficult to make one's mind up on the matter without knowing what racial slur it was named after. The topic is so heated the article didn't dare mention

  "n****r head". Also a commonly used term in early 20th century America for any large black rock

    Although I’m color blind, black is one of the few colors I can confidently identify—based on the pictures, this is boulder isn’t black?

      Nope. It’s pretty light in color, basically a light gray.

    Basically ‘N-word-________’ was used to describe anything that was a shade of black well into the mid 90s. ‘N-word paper’ was used to refer to the tar paper that goes on roofs; ‘n-word toes’ was used to describe a darker toned edible nut. People were (and many still are) pretty ignorant and hateful.

      > Basically ‘N-word-________’ was used to describe anything that was a shade of black well into the mid 90s. If you mean 1890s. I never heard what you are describing.

        Bad typo - I meant mid-1900s but I was sleepy. The 9s threw my brain for a loop. Edit: spelling

    Racists are so uncreative and unintelligent. Non-white students paying good money for an education should ask for this garbage to be removed. Anything that is racist and still celebrated is fair game. Locals and staff that got comfortable with this nonsense obviously need to learn the lessons that they missed.

  >It is difficult to make one's mind up on the matter without knowing what racial slur it was named after Why would that matter? A racial slur is a racial slur.
