    2002 Wheeler Avenue Houston, Texas 77004 Tel:(713)526-3389 ~NAACP HOUSTON BRANCH PRESS STATEMENT~ August 1, 2016 The NAACP Houston Branch Condemns the Use of the N‐Word Since our founding over 107 years ago, the NAACP has remained steadfast in our mission to eliminate racial prejudice wherever it exists in our society. As such, the NAACP condemns the use of the “N” word in every instance and is disappointed to learn of its use by our local Miss Texas Teen USA and newly crowned Miss Teen USA, Karlie Hay. NAACP Houston Branch President James Douglas states: “While we are encouraged that Miss Hay has acknowledged her use of the N‐word, it demonstrates that race is still a tremendous issue in our country today; and it is not only being used by older people but young people as well, and it is further perpetuated by the environment in which they are raised in. Our concern is not just about the N‐ word itself; but the racist attitude behind the word. We must understand that the N‐word is a reflection of a racist attitude and that we first must change our attitudes." now, the NAACP has maintained that the N‐word does nothing to fNAACP National President/CEO Cornell William Brooks states: “Fooster real and r many years meaningful conversations our country needs to have about race, class, segregation and tolerance in our nation and we are, once again, sadly disappointed by its perpetuation in our national dialogue.
