n word

Jonathan McCoy is an 11-year-old kid against the word “n*gga” and he’s not backing down.

After 1 millon plus YouTube viewings, McCoy made his way to CNN. Thanks to anchor Don Lemon, the underage successor had an opportunity to tell the planet (on one of the biggest news networks in the world) his plan to change the way people speak and think.

According to the HuffingtonPost.com, McCoy is “campaigning to have the N-word removed from the English language.” He believes the racially sensitive term “provides great determent and takes away from the rich cultural heritage of black people” throughout the world.

If you agree with McCoy, click here to sign the petition to delete the n-word from the English language and forbid the usage of the word being used on radio, songs aired and in film. His goal is to get 100,000 online supporters.

Check out McCoy on CNN.


*McCoy also explained on CNN that he wanted to place an end to the N-word, curse words and sagging on school grounds.

    LoL, like this is gonna change the world and how everybody speaks, talks, and dresses…because a 11 year old kid said it aint right…hes 11, and havent even lived his life yet…why is it even a big deal to “sag” your pants?, jesus christ its only a way to wear your jeans, if you dont wanna “sag” your jeans then dont do it, if you dont like it, dont do it, big f**kin deal, wear your clothes how you want and leave everybody else alone, so much for being unique and original…when it comes to “cursing” (OMG i CURSED, i have CURSED my life by saying a WORD, just a f**king WORD), give me a break…and the “N” word…, pple are gonna say it whether this kid likes it or not…sooner or later pple like this are gonna end up pushing and causing this country to give jail time for having your pants lower then others…s**ts’ ridiculous…

    Man he’s 11yrs old. He needs to go believe in barney.

    I’ll leave it at that because I don’t want to write a novel. Actually you know what? FUCK IT! If he think the N word is the only offensive thing that has been said to blacks then he has not lived. PS it’s not used on the radio, TV etc. It’s not the word itself, it’s the intention of it. If it’s not that word then it’ll be another word to replace or instead of it.

    If your at a cracker barrel and a girl is getting kicked you should probably not be worried about the N word being used during but more her getting her ass beat. Or would it be acceptable if he said “babe” while putting the beatdown on? I’m just sayin.

    Words are words, I have pissed someone off or hurt their feelings without cuss words. I guess those words will be next. Next thing you know it’ll be like the movie demolition man (I claim wesley snipes character simon phoenix).

    Seriously I get sick of shit like this. There’s blatant racist things that happen to blacks daily and your focused on a word…WTF. Nigga please.

    Спасиб! вообще отлично, 2 хороших новости – ваш сайт нашел и лето началось Можно сказать жизнь удалась, можно и на покой

  • luxurylife says:

    His heart was in the right place and you gotta give him that…..But more than the word has to be changed and clothes peoples mindset has to change

  • major says:

    Nigga Please…

  • BELLA says:

    He might be 11, but he has a better vocabulary than most grown folk. This little boy knows about great leaders (Ghandi, MLK, Rosa Parks)…he’s very articulate. I applaud the little boy for standing up for what he believes in- if there were more people like him with a goal to change something- that ACTED on it, mindsets would change, and the world would change with it.

    Change doesn’t come without a catalyst- let this little boy be a catalyst.

  • Ricky G says:

    Real talk..I could care less about McCoy…I watched that whole video on youtube some time ago and my first response was “nigga please” I just don’t believe that he even wrote that speech because he was struggling on that CNN video…seemed too scripted..But anyways the most important part is that he’s 11 years old. Go do 11 year old things. It’s not his place right now to be acting upon this..Respect to him and his family but all it gets from is a GTFOH

    Not to quote Cameron Giles but I will anyways “You done for the night” haha

  • Kwaping says:

    As Ghandi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” I remind myself of that quote many times a day. That boy is “being the change”.

  • rwr. says:

    that little boy is cute. But i hate to pop anyone’s bubble but you cant really ban someone from saying something offensive in America. But the little shawty got ambition and i have to respect that

  • Bill says:

    I DO NOT support this petition.I’m not racist but I do believe there is a double standard going on. Blacks are the most racist people out there. Can a white women get in Miss Black America? But a Black one can Miss USA. How many Untied White College Funds are there? Black people would spin out. Cry me a river Whites DO NOT have the N word in their songs take a long look a rap and hip hop. Kind of a self hating thing.

  • I do love the way you have framed this specific challenge plus it does indeed offer me some fodder for thought. On the other hand, coming from just what I have observed, I simply hope as other feed-back pile on that folks continue to be on point and don’t embark upon a soap box associated with the news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this fantastic piece and while I can not concur with this in totality, I value the standpoint.
