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.

The ceremony included a march by delegates from across the country from downtown Detroit's Cobo Center to Hart Plaza. Along the way, two Percheron horses pulled a pine box adorned with a bouquet of fake black roses.

The coffin is to be placed at 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."

The N-word has been used as a slur against blacks for more than a century. It remains a symbol of racism, but also is used by blacks when referring to other blacks, especially in comedy routines and rap and hip-hop music.

And the N Word shall rise from the dead.

You cant stop people from using a word just because you had a symbolic funeral. Niggah please.

Agreed, it won't do a thing. Why they put so much effort into something which will make no difference to anything is beyond me, but a nice thought I suppose.
Interesting that Mayor Whatsit decided to mention 'pimps' and 'hos' because they have nothing to do with the derogatory use of the N Word.

Honestly I hear black people saying it 95% of the time. Or white people who are friends with black people and use it in the same way - ie not as a racist term.

I hereby declare racism dead. Oh, and sexism, religious intolerance, etc, etc.

Symbolism ....

The term is only dead when any white person can call a black person nigger and they just shrug and say "Nyeh ..."

And you can't tell me that happened just because the NAACP declared the word dead. I think I can still find it in the dictionary, unless they snuck in during the night and  tore that page out.

EDIT: typo

Kilpatrick is a dumbass anyways.  I live about 20 mintues outside Detroit, so I got to hear all about their sad sad election not so long ago.  Kilpatrick had been spending Detroits money on himself for cars, a house etc, while the city is already in  massive debt, election time rolls around, public is well aware of this, everyone in the city complaining yet they reelect him, wtf.  Its these same type of people that think they can bury the "N word".  Good luck, racists arent gonna stop using it because you had a silly mock funeral.

We had 'Negro Kisses', or as we called them 'Neger Zoenen', made by a candy company. Some random group of mental insane Surinam people complained it was a sign of oppression and that the company who made it had to change it name.

Now years later. The name has changed, and every dutchman still calls them Neger Zoenen.

Political correctness fails.

Oh yeah, but according to them "Nigga" is different than "Nigger". Um, it's the same word, just with a ghetto accent. You can say it's not insulting, but you don't go around seeing jews calling each other jesus killers, and you don't see muslims going around calling each other "ragheads". It's fucking ridiculous and the black community (most of it, not all) should be ashamed.

what will the Mayor do next....if you say the N word you go to jail, ban all CDs that contain the N word? It's a futile attempt at best...must be election time.
