Reverend Wendell Anthony, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, says the civil rights group will conduct a mock funeral for the ‘N’ word during their national convention in July.

“We are committed to ending hate — word and talk,” Anthony said. “It doesn’t do anyone any good, whether it’s a journalist on TV or a rapper on the radio.”

The recent firing of Don Imus for using the racial slur ‘nappy headed hos’, spurred the group to call for the mock funeral.

Anthony didn’t say when he thought his organization would stop referring to black people as ‘colored’.

After hearing about the NAACP’s idea, many other national organizations have announced plans to conduct mock funerals of their own.

AARP
Steve Hahn, spokesman for the American Association of Retired People, says that his organization will conduct a mock funeral for the ‘O’ word. “Mature citizens have been referred to as ‘old’ for far too long. We prefer the term ‘chronologically challenged’ and hope this mock funeral will entice people to stop referring to old people as old.”

NRA
The National Rifle Association has announced plans to conduct a mock funeral for the ‘K’ word. “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. I’m tired of hearing about people using a gun to ‘K’ someone,” says NRA spokesman, Charlton Heston.

ILGA
Rosanna Flamer-Caldera — no shit, her middle name is really Flamer — from the International Lesbian and Gay Association, says she hopes their mock funeral for the ‘F’ word will have a huge impact. The ILGA was instrumental in getting the World Health Organization to remove ‘homosexuality’ from its list of diseases, so Caldera has high hopes for the funeral.

Caldera says, “If you smoke a fag in England, you’re smoking a cigarette, but if you smoke a fag in LA, it means you shot him. We think the brits should start calling them cigarettes like everyone else, so we can abolish the ‘F’ word forever.”

PTA
The PTA hasn’t yet finalized plans for their ‘P’ word mock funeral, but are in negotiations with the Girl Scouts of America (GSUSA) to have the funeral coincide with the Girl Scout’s annual cookie drive.

Anna Marie Weselak, president of the Parent Teachers Association says, “Children have been calling each other ‘poopiehead’ for years and we think it’s time to put a stop to it. The word is obviously just the non-adult version of the word ’shithead’ and is one of the most degrading words a child can be called. Words like ‘moron’, buttface’, and ‘retard’, should be used instead. They don’t carry the terrible social stigma that being labeled a ‘poopiehead’ does. Being called a poopiehead as a child can scar a person for life.”
