The NAACP has begun the implementation of a campaign intended to force Fidelity and Berkshire Hathaway to withdraw investments from Sudan.  Joining the Save Darfur Coalition and the Sudan Divestment Task Force, the NAACP plans to use its economic and cultural influence to force companies to cut ties with the Sudanese government. 

Reports indicate that 200,000-400,000 black Africans have been killed and more than 2,000,000 others displaced due to the conflict in Darfur.

In proper fashion, the NAACP recently came forward with plans to bury the N-Word during the NAACP's national convention in July.  The ceremony will even include a eulogy for the now-deceased term.  The NAACP held a similar ceremony in 1963 to bury Jim Crow. 

"We are committed to ending hate," said the Rev. Wendell Anthony.

The N-Word is certainly dead to me.  How about you?  Tell me.
