The NAACP is planning to hold a funeral for the word n***er during the civil rights organization’s national convention in July. The Rev. Wendell Anthony, leader of the Detroit Branch, made the announcement at the annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner saturday night (Apr. 29). Members will also host a eulogy for the controversial word during the convention, which takes place July 7-12 in Detroit. “We are committed to ending hate — word and talk,” Anthony told the Associated Press. “It doesn’t do anyone any good, whether it’s a journalist on TV or a rapper on the radio.” The NAACP held a mock funeral for the oppresive “Jim Crow” laws 63 years ago.

Sounds good, but you know certain people, ‘like 50′ will throw the word into oerdrive, just to be defiant.

Yo E. Night, I swear no matter what the subject is, you bring up 50 Cent.

Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see how much attention the media pays this one.
