NAACP Extends Invite to Morgan Wallen to Educate Him About the N-Word

Morgan Wallen‘s been denounced and rebuked by the country music industry by and large for using a racial slur, but one group’s not turning its back on him — the NAACP.

Sheryl Guinn, President of NAACP Nashville, tells TMZ … it seems to her Morgan’s oblivious to the white supremacy that exists in this country — despite all the recent examples, including the Capitol riots — and she’d like the opportunity to educate the country singer.

Guinn says Wallen apologizing is a good start, but saying sorry doesn’t mean a thing if he doesn’t work to fix the issue that led to him dropping the n-word so casually.

The NAACP leader says some people are under the impression they can use the n-word if they think it’s not being used in an offensive manner … but obviously, that’s not the case.

Guinn says the word needs to be removed from everyone’s vocabulary, even if they’re just talking to family, or in Wallen’s case … shooting the breeze with friends.

So, NAACP Nashville’s 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.

She adds that she’d be willing to meet with the country star privately or in a group setting — whatever’s more comfortable — because she understands these talks are difficult to have.

Guinn tells us she also believes this could be a huge turning point for Wallen, and he could use his celebrity status for something truly progressive and impactful … especially during these trying times.

We broke the story … Wallen was recorded by a neighbor 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 swift and significant.
