NAACP Symbolically Buries 'N Word'

(WJZ/AP) DETROIT There was no mourning at this funeral.

Hundreds of onlookers cheered Monday afternoon as the NAACP put to rest a long-standing expression of racism by holding a public burial for the N-word during its annual convention.

Delegates from across the country marched from downtown Detroit's Cobo Center to Hart Plaza. Two Percheron horses pulled a pine box adorned with a bouquet of fake black roses and a black ribbon printed with a derivation of the word.

The coffin is to be placed at historically black Detroit Memorial Park Cemetery and will have a headstone.

"Today we're not just burying the N-word, we're taking it out of our spirit," said Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. "We gather burying all the things that go with the N-word. We have to bury the 'pimps' and the 'hos' that go with it."

He continued: "Die N-word, and we don't want to see you 'round here no more."

2. On our local teevee, someone interviewed said he didn't think they'd stop .....

..... using the word.

Another interviewee said that the thug beating the old man for his welfare check wasn't using the word as a term of endearment.

Nah .... I think some of the rappers will keep on keepin' on with it. And for that, they will be well paid.
