Black United Students will host its keynote speaker for Black History Month tonight.
Bryant K. Smith, author of Black Not Blind and CEO of Smith Consulting and Networking, will be speaking about the use of the "n-word" in today's society.
Smith will be speaking in place of Afeni Shakur, rapper Tupac's mother, who was originally scheduled to speak. Adrian Neal, BUS public relations chair, said Shakur had an emergency engagement for a book signing and was therefore unable to appear.
Smith will be speaking at 7:30 p.m. in the Kent Student Center Ballroom. The event is free.

Got stood up by the mother of a rapper who uses the "n-word" too much. How embarrassing.

I never used this word in My entire Collegiate coaching career at Minnesotta State University. The word shouldnt be used by anyone, even in rap songs

Why not just saw, Mom had an opportunity to make some money while selling her book, so she took that over coming to KSU. (Continued…)
