N-word Lawyer: Rappers Must Stop 'War' on 'Black America'
By Robert "Rob" Redding Jr.

ATLANTA, April 14, 2007, 1:20 p.m. - A well-known N-word attorney today said rappers must call off the "war against black America."
"Don Imus and Michael Richards referred to African Americans with great disrespect," Attorney Roy Miller writes in a letter provided exclusively to Redding News Review. "Black Rappers have referred to African Americans with great disrespect. To the innocent, it does not matter if a white snake or a black snake bites. Both bites are just as lethal."
Miller - a Christian specializing in juvenile law and responsible for redacting the N-word from a major dictionary in 1994 - said rappers are "worshiping Satan" and "slaving."
"Rappers, why have you declared war against the poor, the foolish and the young?" he asked. "Why have you declared war against black America and the respect that our ancestors died for? We feed each other drugs and disrespect and then ask God to bless us. You cannot make all your deposits into the Bank of Satan and come to the Bank of God for withdrawals. You belong to whom you serve. Money and power does not make Godly success.

Miller's comments come after the firing of talk radio host Imus this week and the uproar caused by "Seinfeld's" Richards last year.
Richards went on a tirade last year, calling a comedy patron the N-word.
Imus was fired this week by CBS Radio after referring to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "some nappy-headed hos", during an April 4 broadcast. His comments came on the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
"Black grandmothers have stayed on their knees praying and many parents died early worrying about their children," he writes. "Black fathers faced violence, just trying to protect their daughters from thugs and a black on black hateful lifestyle. Where is respect for what Jesus died for in all of this?
"We will harvest what we plant," he writes. "The real message and intent of many rap producers are to convince black youth that "You don't need God to make it.
"Adults need to know that there is no constitutional right that adults have to provide sexually and derogatory packed audio and video tapings to innocent children, when they know all the time that minors are a major reason for the wealth that they acquire as a result of such tapings," he writes. "The true intent is clear. This amounts to 'contributing to the delinquency of a minor'
"Russell Simmons and all others that are associated with and make millions from the recording and distribution of what I feel is filth and disguised as music need to back off from supporting an industry that is destroying our youth, our future. Sisters and Brothers, we need to stop supporting [an] industry that makes its millions by keeping us mentally enslaved. History tells us that we were perceived as over sexualized animals, not worthy of respect. We were devalued and treated as property. Six hundred years later we have chosen to enslave ourselves. This last slap in the face tells us that the change won't come from the outside, the change must start with us."
