NAACP Extends Invite To Country Singer Morgan Wallen To Educate Him On The N-Word
While the country music industry has dropped Morgan Wallen like a hot pocket, one group’s not turning its back on him — the NAACP.
As we previously reported, Wallen is facing major consequences after he was caught on video saying the n-word after coming home from a night out in Nashville. He apologized and took responsibility for it, but the fallout’s been pretty significant. Not only has he been called out by his peers but he’s also banned from various media platforms, pulled from the airwaves, disqualified from the 2021 ACM Awards, and his label has suspended his contract, for now, TMZ notes.
Now, according to the news site, NAACP wants to step in and use this moment to educate the entertainer instead. Sheryl Guinn, President of NAACP Nashville, tells TMZ that Morgan’s oblivious to the white supremacy that exists in this country and she’d like the opportunity to educate the country singer. NAACP Nashville’s is now inviting Wallen to have a conversation about what went down, and help him learn why his actions are hurtful. Guinn says the meeting would not be about condemnation but about love, TMZ reports.
Its not clear if Wallen has accepted the invitation. Until then, let us know your thoughts on this in the comment box below!
