A Funeral for the “N-Word”? Really?

No, I’m not kidding. Read about it here. Are they going to bury it, or cremate it? That’s what I want to know. The irony here is that almost nobody under the age of 30 (outside of Detroit) knows of this event. I can hear it now: “The n-word is dead… Long live the n-word” I don’t care how many shock-and-awe campaigns they wage. No matter how many troop surges they push. No matter how many surgical attacks they pull off. The n-word is never going away. I’m not even talking about the use of this infamous word by “whitey”. I’m talking about the use by Afro-American folk themselves. If you count the number of times it’s spewed forth by black kids, be it in rap/house/hiphop/whatever, or on the street, in schools, wherever, during the course of 2007, I’d bet the total national debt of Afganistan it’s equal to, or greater than the number spewed forth in 2006. It’s not going anywhere, and the NAACP knows it. This is all a cheap PR campaign to get a headline. That’s it. Nice try. Not a chance in hell it will make any measurable impact though.  Uh oh… wait a minute… Doh!!!! I just gave them another headline.  Dang it all! :(
