Deletedon't let anyone forget it was called nigger head rock for a reason....
DeleteYes black people are the real Indians pretty much
DeleteMy grandma was born in a shack under nigger head rock. She took me there when I was 12. That was 30a years ago now.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! Was talking to my oldest living cousin recently. Found out my father had lived in Nigger Head. Would be interested to hear more. Is there a town called Nigger Head? Thanks.
DeleteNo town called Nigger Head at this site. St. Charles, Stone Creek, and Pennington Gap are the only close communities.
DeleteMy Mother was born and raised in Woodway. A stones throw from Pennington Gap. My Grandfather operated a tram in the mines for years. He was only 12 years old when he started working in those mines. She told my sister and I everyone used to call it Nigger Head Rock. She remembers when they officially changed the name to the Great Stone Face. We took her to her 50th class reunion several years back. Hadn't been there since I was a child. It was during the Fall season and I fell in love with my Mothers home state. Absolutely breath taking!
DeleteMy dad worked in some mine around there when he was13 about1931 or so. He told me about that rock. He always wanted to go back...never made it
DeleteHey, do you have any photographs of that shack? Or, any oral history of your grandma?

ReplyDeleteI bet that was a view. I grew up there but never climbed it.

ReplyDeleteA local bank had checks with a vignette of the rock for-
ReplyDeletemation and the inscription "Nigger Head Rock. I have one.
I have one it's a cancelled check
DeleteThat would be Lee bank & trust.
DeleteThere was a road house near there, called Nigger Head Club. My father, who waa raised in the area, said that the club was a school bus stop, and that the proprietors would sell "near beer" to kids who'd come in after the bus dropped them off! This wouldve been in tge early 1940s. I have a newspaper clipping about a shooting that occured there, involving some cousins of my father...the headline read "Tenn. Woman Critically Wounded by Pistol Shot Near Nigger Head Sat." Ill post it if anyone else want to see it.

ReplyDeleteI've never been to Nigger Head Rock,is that near Jigaboo creek or across from the Sand Nigger Dunes.
ReplyDeleteIt must suck to be an leprious cannanite huh ( In levictus african Canaanites were cursed with pale skin and blonde hair.
DeleteWrong area all together.
DeleteThis is just across the street from shit Creek and down the road a bit from up the creek without a paddle.
At the base of the mountain is Nigger Head wood.
ReplyDeleteWell its named The Great Stone Face so get over your ignorant need to continue using the racially offensive name. You should visit Crackerville. It's two clicks North of Redneck Lake and down the hill from the Incest woods.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's called stoneface or somethin now. But for generations it was bigger head rock...different times. Times change..face it.Old folks grew up different..black and white. Time to let it go
DeleteI thought we did let it go.
DeleteI guess we still have to bring it up to help remember history, lest we repeat it again.
Negro Head would not be offensive and actually it would be correct. Some think that Negro is Offensive but there is no basis for that except ignorance of the English Language.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a special amount of arrogance to ever even BEGIN to try to decide what other people feel is offensive. How about calling it Cauc-head (cockhead) rock and see how your kind likes it?
DeleteCockhead rock doesn't offend me at all. Try again
DeleteIts not your place to decide whether someone is allowed to be offended. Almost EVERYONE should find it offensive
DeleteI have never understood why anyone would be offended by any words. I watch old reruns of the Jefferson's and George still saying honkey. Should that offend me? If it was reruns of Archie bunker and he said nigger on almost every episode how long would it take to get it off the air? Younger generations need to go through another great depression or world war or maybe an alien invasion? You know some real hardships to make us work together to survive.
DeleteGive them something to think about other than being ass hurt over words or who can use which bathroom or offensive flags and statues. Let's use this energy to put an end to corrupt politicians,fix our education system,solve energy problems or tear down and burn barriers instead. The old saying sticks and stones will break my bones but words will send us into a pissy hissy fit.
C'MON PEOPLE!! Slavery has been over for what? a hundred and thirty years now? I never had slaves, not my father or my grandfather, nor even his father. For the love of God get over it leave flags and statues alone they help us remember our screw ups and what we've learned.

I ran the first county wide nigger diversion program in a Massachusetts DA office. I was shocked to see nigger fuck their mothers and children while their commie jew boys lawyer'sjerk off. Then I worked in Duban So.Africa and saw that niggers fuck their mothers and children while commie jew boys jerkoff while they rape the riches of So.Africa
ReplyDeleteWhat was it called before 'niggerhead'? Does anyone know? Im sure the beautiful Cherokee natives had a proper name for this holy ground!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they've made up a "before" name by now. Pity it won't be documented, though. You'll just have to take their holy word for it. Did you know that an entire THIRD of MODERN "Native American" DNA is Western European? It makes so much sense. I've been saying for the longest time that so many of them look GERMAN in the face to me. And there's something inherent (from Germany) that I can hear in their voices, too. And did you know that Germany even has an OFFICIAL "Native American" type of organization of their very OWN??? YES. IN GERMANY. Go figure, right?
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, you'll probably never know what it was REALLY called "before" by the beautiful Cherokee natives...who were there BEFORE the ones who are there now.
It is called niggerhead because of the big lips these pics are side views even the Indians called it niggerhead the government can call it what ever but it's still niggerhead and always will be
ReplyDeleteI guarantee that the original inhabitants
ReplyDeleteWHO WERE NOT cherokee)never called it that. Almost certainly it would have made some reference to a stone face though.
After my mother & father divorced, my dad married a woman who is from Pennington Gap. My father had a farm he leased in St. Charles, so we would frequently pass by this location. It is a really neat experience to see this rock formation in person! I remember when the name change began, because I was in the store located at this site & I was talking to one of my siblings about the "Niggerhead Rock" & the clerk on duty corrected me by saying, "the name has changed...we are now using a politically correct term." We then started calling it African American Head Rock until it was formally changed to "Stone Face Rock." I am amazed by this rock formation because it has stood the test of time...I expected it to become disfigured by erosion or high winds causing the nose or lips to chip away, but it has not. It looks exactly the same as it did when I first seen it 30+ years ago! We would frequent this location going to the farm because across the street from the formation & the store was ice cold natural moutain spring water available for all to enjoy for free. We would fill our jugs with this refreshing water & set out for a long, hot day working on the farm. I still remember this as the best water I have ever drank! I am not afforded the opportunity to visit this location nearly as often as I once did, but I can only imagine it is still granting those who visit it an everlasting good memory to cherish & pass on to their loved ones!😍
DeleteThe reason for the name change is not that nigger is offensive in and of itself...The Oxsford definition..ant black person...usually applied to indians...but the Uneducated usage to denounce the Real "American"according to webster 1828 definition of american.."originally applied to aboriginal cooper colored Races Found here by europeans..but now applied to the descendandants of europeans...in order to steal land...identity theft had to in place..proxies like $5 dollar indians and Mongolian (Siberian Turks) aka american indians Today..otherwise no manifest Destiny...just Mass murder an American(1828 webster definition) holocaust...This government spent millions to erase "Negro"from birth certifacts..1925 Walter Plecker census changed "Indian"to "Colored"virgins vital stats....systemated..political..institional scrubbing
