The NAACP’s 98th annual convention (and here) is underway in Detroit.
Today’s program includes a ceremonial funeral to bury the N-word:
Delegates and supporters of America’s largest, most respected, oldest, and most effective civil rights organization will convene at Cobo Hall for a march led by the casket containing the N-Word to Hart Plaza where there will be a funeral service for the most vicious of all racist insults – the N-Word!
Just as in 1944, when Jim Crow was put to rest in the city of Detroit, we’ve come back 63 years later again in Detroit at this time to bury and put to rest once and for all the N-Word…
There will be no tears, except tears of joy, as we gather to say goodbye and good riddance to this unwanted and unwelcome interloper in our community. The N-Word is the most well-known example of racist language by others and self-hatred by African Americans. The NAACP believes the time has come to celebrate the end of its wretched, destructive life.
The public burial is part of the NAACP’s “STOP! Campaign,” a youth-led initiative to promote respect for black women and the African American community.
Meanwhile, in the City of Brotherly Love, Fox News anchor/investigative reporter Tom Burlington apparently is in love with the racial slur.
Burlington has been suspended for reportedly using the N-word multiple times during a staff meeting “as he argued that doing so was not such a big deal.”
Since Burlington didn’t know when to stop, he’s now resting at home.
