Do you think ‘burying’ the ‘n’ word will work?
The NAACP held a ceremony to symbolically ‘bury’ the ‘n’ word during their annual convention in Detroit.
This is a message to the hip-hop & rap industry, white people, and black people with an inferiority complex to quit slinging slurs as a standard operating procedure. Read the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070709/ap_on_re_us/naacp_convention_n_word;_ylt=ApcXTXBMmu4_05PDL6BK445H2ocA
What do you think? Will it work? Do you want it to work, or is it just political correctness?
The NAACP has a good record, though–they buried ‘Jim Crow’ about 40 years ago, and that worked. People would think it crazy to treat anyone like a slave, although that was common practice before it was ‘buried.’
Do you think there’s any chance for effectively ‘burying’ CALLING people slaves? Or are words inconsequential?
No it won’t work. What will they all call each other then?
