Black Enterprise & The N-Word

The comedian Eddie Griffin recently headlined Black Enterprise’s Annual Golf and Tennis Challenge in Miami Fla. 

Approximately 10 minutes into his n-word-laced act, publisher Earl Graves cut the mic. Moments later, Graves appeared on stage and addressed the audience explaining that Griffin's microphone was turned off because of his repeated use of the n-word. For this action, Mr. Graves received a standing ovation. 

We at Black Enterprise will not allow our culture to go backward," Graves said. "Black Enterprise stands for decency, Black culture and dignity."
