July 12, 2007, 6:40 p.m. - The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson today called the NAACP's symbolic burial of the N-word an "embarrassment."

"It shows that they really don't have anything else to do," the head of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny told radio show Sean Hannity. 

The NAACP, lead by its Chairman Julian Bond, held a symbolic burial of the derogatory term at its convention this week in Detroit.

Peterson assailed Bond, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton - calling them all "hypocrites."

They use the N-word against conservative blacks like me more than whites, he said.

"Most blacks are racist against whites," he added.

Peterson said he would like to see the NAACP focus on issues like decreasing crime and out of wedlock births.
