R.I.P.

“We probably wouldn't worry about what people think of us if we could know how seldom they do.” Olin Miller

So its official… The NAACP has buried the “N” word. Am I alone in the ironic fact that the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People took the time out of their archaic schedule to bury the “N” word, yet still (proudly) call themselves Colored people? Stop it, y'all are killing me!

I imagine Mark Fuhrman woke up this morning from his hooded linen rest to ask; where were these Niggas during the O.J. trial? I wonder how many neighborhood liquor stores the N-Word funeral procession skated passed on the way to the Detroit graveyard? The
-AACP (remember there are no more “N” words), may want to swing the funeral procession pass the University of Michigan and get an update on the Affirmative Action ban that those crackers buried.

This Motown comedy act got a lot less funnier when you consider the fact that Ward Connerly is the mastermind behind this ridiculous ritual. And, I waited very patiently wondering (aloud)when the N-Word eulogist was going to mention that Ward Connerly was also the right wing creator of the Proposition 209 Bill, which was lawfully designed to outlaw all race and gender preferences in state hiring and state university admissions. Or, quite simply, a bill to eliminate Affirmative Action. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint giggle from Donald Goings’ grave.

Honestly, I applaud all great intentions, no matter how silly. But there are so many other things going down in the motor city that I think would take precedence like:

 How much of the city’s building fund is going towards the 24” rims on Mayor Kwame M. Kilpatrick’s Cadillac Escalade?
 Why wasn’t Eminem at the “N” Word funeral?
 How do the Detroit pimps get purple gators from a green alligator?
 Why didn’t Chris Webber call a time out before the AACP got started?
