What does this mean exactly?

Fittingly enough, or ironically enough, I'm wearing a good deal of black today. But will it be appropriate for the funeral for the "n-word"? Because today, in Detroit, the NAACP will be holding a funeral for the N-word in conjunction with it's national convention.

I get the symbolism, I do. It's just...well...is it a waste of time? What will this do? Will rappers stop calling women bitches and hoes? Will it make one racist stop and think about their words or actions? Will it do anything at all?

Color me skeptical.
