Atlanta Attorney Proposes Resolution Challenging Black Society To Discourage The Use Of The “N” Word And Mark It Out Of The Dictionary On August 1, 2006

Attorney Roy Miller of Atlanta, Georgia is calling on all persons to mark the “n” word out of their dictionaries on August 1, 2006. Additionally, Attorney Miller is challenging black groups, clubs and organizations to adopt resolutions discouraging the use of the “n” word against a child or to describe a child and to make the resolution a part of their guiding principles. Attorney Miller has been an advocate for this cause for more than a decade. He single-handedly was successful in getting the agreement of Funk and Wagnall’s Dictionary to delete the word from its future publications.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) June 20, 2006 — When she was 12 years old, Attorney Roy Miller’s niece was first confronted with the “n” word. She went to her new dictionary for its meaning. What this innocent Black child saw was not a definition, but a description of profanity that pointed right back at her.

That incident provided the motivation to make Attorney Miller beseech dictionary publishers to delete the “n” word from future publications. In 1994, Attorney Roy Miller became the first and only person to succeed at having the “n” word deleted from a major dictionary. Part of his argument has been that, if we have any respect at all for our ancestors, Black adults should be ashamed to refer to their Black babies and children by that offensive and disparaging term.

The City of Baltimore, Maryland, at the encouragement of Councilman Melvin Stukes, drafted a resolution discouraging the use of the “n” word. Attorney Miller argued for the declaration that was adopted as a non-binding resolution in 2002.

In 2006, Attorney Roy Miller is calling on black groups, clubs and associations to adopt resolutions pledging to acknowledge the “n” word as the ultimate insult against the black race. Furthermore, Attorney Miller is asking that all persons mark out the definition in their personal dictionaries on August 1, 2006 as a show of unity. A sample resolution can be found on Attorney Miller’s website.

Miller says, “Zero tolerance towards being disrespected must be established in the Black community and it must start with Blacks respecting Black children. How can our babies be children of God and “n” words at the same time? Does not such reference to the child also refer to the father?”
