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.
