Moratorium on the N-Word

The Los Angeles City Council placed a symbolic ban on the N-Word Saturday.

Apparently, there’s been ongoing violence between black residents of South Los Angeles and Mexican gang members, and the Council felt it necessary to place a ban on the n-word “in the context of [these] threats and violence.”

This is not the first time a group has place a symbolic ban on the racial slur. In July, the NAACP actually held a funeral and burial for the N-Word, a word they called “the greatest child that racism ever birthed.”
