Absolute Melanin Authority

Absolute melanin authority, courtesy of a group that still refers to its members as “colored people”:
Hundreds of onlookers cheered this 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.

The coffin will be buried beneath a headstone at historically black, Detroit Memorial Park Cemetery.
We’ll soft shoe around the entire notion of “n-word” having its eternal slumber being confined to a historically segregated cemetery.
But hundreds of people have nothing else better to do than to register their protest through this time-consuming and futile gesture? Just who the hell do they think they are – bloggers?
However, the Rev. Wendell Anthony, pastor of Detroit’s Fellowship Chapel and member of the NAACP national board of directors, said Monday’s efforts were not an attack on young people or hip-hop, but a commentary on the culture the genre has produced.
“We’re not thugs. We’re not gangstas,” Anthony told the crowd. “All of us has been guilty of this word. It’s upon all of us to now kill this word.“
Indeed, Rev. Mushmouth. I didn’t think it was possible to feel sorry for “n-word” but I guess the system is rigged to give it the death penalty after all.
In related news, the NAACP can hold ceremonial burials for offensive words but affords less important items the quiet dignity that can only come from a dumpster behind a strip mall.

Nah, I like my way better. Besides, they say coining neologisms is a sign of mental illness.
