Re: 'The N-word' is laid to rest by NAACP in mock funeral <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>DETROIT - The NAACP held a mock funeral yesterday for one of the most inflammatory terms in the English language: "the N-word."With the fervor of a civil rights-era demonstration and the passion of a rousing church service, NAACP members and their supporters pledged good riddance not only to the derogatory word, but also to other disparaging expressions they say have been tolerated for too long among some African Americans."Today, we're not just burying the N-word, we are taking it out of our spirit, we are taking it out of our minds," said Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to thunderous applause of hundreds who gathered at the city's riverfront Hart Plaza. "To bury the N-word, we gotta bury the pimps and the hos and the hustlers. Let's bury all the nonsense that comes with this."The celebrants, ranging in age from seniors on scooters to babies in carriages, arrived in droves at the city's Cobo Conference/Exhibition Center and made their way to the riverfront, where politicians, civil rights activists and religious leaders delivered eulogies as part of the 98th annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People."Let's say good riddance to this vestige of slavery and racism, and say hello to a society that embraces all its people," said Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.</div>linkhahahaha, I heard this on a show on XM/Sirius. The hosts were like, "Yeah, we should go pay our respects to the N-word" I love these idiot mayors. They try to gain positive press by doing pointless ceremonies, ugh. Supposedly the guy has been involved in different controversies, one being the supposed murder of a hooker. Once again, I just heard this on the radio, so yeah.I said to my roommate that it would be pretty funny if I ran through the crowd shouting the N-word. I would love to see that reaction... before I died.
