NAACP wins on "nigger" in dictionary (email from La Wanza to the social justice listserv)
A Small Victory...A Giant Step (Thanks NAACP)
Kweisi Mfume made the announcement during a speech at Virgina Tech in the spring of 2001 "beginning with the next edition, the word nigger will no longer be synonymous with African-Americans. It shall be duly noted that it's a racial slur and not what African-Americans themselves are. Along with this, all racial and religious slurs will finally be indicated for what they really are - cruel and evil slurs too often used to degrade people."
