NAACP Buries the 'N-Word'

Burial of 'n-word' planned at NAACP convention

Associated Press - July 9, 2007 3:43 AM ET

DETROIT (AP) - There will be a symbolic funeral at today's session of the NAACP convention in Detroit.

Leaders of the civil rights group admit they don't know what impact burying the "n-word" is going to have. But National Chairman Julian Bond says the organization's youth are taking the lead in fighting the use of racist and sexist slurs.

The issue gained new prominence after talk show host Don Imus' derogatory on-air comments in April about members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team

Bond opened the group's 98th convention yesterday, saying it's needed now more than ever because the Bush administration has done little to support blacks.

Most of the Democratic presidential candidates will take part in a Thursday forum at the convention.

In the event that you have been craving a story about empty gestures, here you go.

Black author Michael Eric Dyson claims that we should only bury it in the white community. Since it is a "term of endearment" in the black community, he doesn't believe the word should be discarded.

Personally, I think this a collossal waste of time. Racists and rappers are not going to stop using it. The only people that are going to buy into this empty gesture are the people that don't believe in racial slurs and demeaning others.

Out of curiousity what is the black community prefferred word for someone like Obama?
Smurph--any ideas.

Was wondering as Tiger has mentioned- eveyone refers to his records saying 1st african american this and that--and never make note he is 1st taiwanese to do anything--why is that :shrug:

I'm guessing it might be "President"?

No idea, don't care. Your obsession with mocking/singling out blacks is beyond ridiculous at this point.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

You miss the whole point-intent is not to mock the black but rather the P.C. element that like to tag everyone a racist that doesn't adhere to there riduculous rules of what is correct and what is not.

Somehow until I see a white entertainment network-white caucus-white miss america ect ect I'll have doubts on one sided racial/segregation issues.

--and do I can a black from Ethiopia or other areas an African America? Am I a german american--Americans are americans regardless of backround.

I don't care for the N word myself--and when speaking of ethnic persuasions generaly use the word groid--which is short for negroids--which for most part is probably the most correct adjective--and was used for years until the PC crowd considered it "too narrow"

Ne?groid(ngroid) Anthropology
adj.
Of or being a major human racial classification traditionally distinguished by physical characteristics such as brown to black pigmentation and often tightly curled hair and including peoples indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa.

don't always agree with the dog, but anyone who does not believe in the hypocrisy - please, move to memphis.............

we have the ford's (black version of the bush's/kennedy's). we have a black mayor who is corrupt as anyone has ever been in any city anywhere. the racial tension here is ridiculous and now we have a major mexican element added to the mix. our schools are crap and every single "injustice" is always related to race. and the N word is ok within the community, but is a major problem if a white uses it. yet our memphis' born rappers have no problem selling it on recordings. complete bs, and an obvious double standard.

either choose to achieve or not to achieve, but stop blaming race.

jason whitlock, a sports writer from MO is a gem.

Hate to be the first white person that digs up one of these graves by a slip of the tongue like nutcase Kramer. Said one yesterday that just slipped right out. The C word. The fenin C who almost caused me and four others to get in a horrific car accident while she was blabbing away on the phone. Just rolled right out of my mouth. Couldn't stop it lol.

The only really surprising news here is that no riots broke out during the ceremony. :shrug:
