NAACP calls on beer manufacturer to change label ("S" Word)

Lord...I hope this is a joke...cause if not, my head is going to explode....

NAACP calls on beer manufacturer to change label ("S" Word):

The NAACP has approved a resolution condemning what it calls 'racist elements' in the labeling of a popular Irish beer. The vote has sparked a war of words between the black civil rights organization and Guinness & Company, the maker of Guinness Stout.

At the center of the controversy is NAACP objection to the use of the word “stout” to describe what some refer to as a black beer.

Guinness Stout beer is known for a distinctive dark color and a flavour derived from the use of roasted barley. The most popular beer in Ireland, the Guinness brand enjoys world wide sales totaling $4 billion U.S. dollars annually.

The fray began when NAACP President Benjamin Jealous overheard a patron at a hotel lobby bar ask a server for a black beer. Jealous took offense to what he called an obvious racial slur on the part of the customer purposely said in his presence."
