Arrow N-Word Meaning and other Derogatory Meanings Changed?

Email: Caps were not my doing.

NAACP WINS ON "N*&&#$" IN DICTIONARY
A SMALL VICTORY...A GIANT STEP (THANKS NAACP) THERE
HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY.
KWEISI MFUME, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE
(NAACP), RECENTLY GAVE A SPEECH AT VIRGINIA TECH.
EVERYONE WAS INFORMED THAT A LANDMARK DECISION
WAS MADE LAST WEEK WITH
THE PEOPLE AT
MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY. THEY HAVE
RECOGNIZED THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS. SO, BEGINNING
WITH THE NEXT EDITION, THE WORD N*%%#@ WILL NO LONGER
BE SYNONYMOUS WITH AFRICAN-AMERICANS. IT SHALL BE
DULY NOTED THAT IT'S A RACIAL SLUR AND NOT WHAT
AFRICAN-AMERICANS THEMSELVES ARE. ALONG WITH
THIS, ALL RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS SLURS WILL FINALLY BE
INDICATED FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE-CRUEL AND EVIL
SLURS TOO OFTEN USED TO DEGRADE PEOPLE.

Any thoughts?
