NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
Apr 23, 2025 3:15 PM

The NAACP held a mock funeral yesterday for the N-word. That’s nice. Many would argue that it’s a horrible word and should never be used under any circumstance.

“Today, we’re not just burying the N-word, we are taking it out of our spirit, we are taking it out of our minds,” Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said to a crowd gathered at the city’s riverfront Hart Plaza. “To bury the N-word, we’ve got to bury the pimps and the hos and the hustlers. Let’s bury all the nonsense es with this.”

I wish that the “N-Word” was the biggest problem in munities (or a big problem at all). There are far more important words and phrases that the NAACP should be holding mass funerals because maybe these other areas would make the use of “N-word” inapplicable.

Here are a few suggestions of words and phrases that the NCAAP needs to bury soon:

(1) “Bitch”

(2) “Ho” and “pimp”

(3) “My baby’s daddy (or mama)” or “I take care of all my kids, I buy them what they need”

(4) “It’s because of racism”

(5) “I’m gonna have a baby even though I’m not married”

(6) “School is whack”

(7) “I didn’t get in because I’m black”

(8) “It’s white people’s fault”

(9) “Who cares if I graduate from high school?”

(10) “The government will save us”

(11) “All blacks must think like white, liberal elitist democrats”

(12) “Mysogynistic hip hop is art”

(13) “I don’t need a man, I can take care of myself”

(14) “Sports (and Entertainment) is my only way out”

(15) “It’s because of slavery”

(16) “Church? That’s for my grandma”

(17) “My car needs rims now”

(18) “What’s a savings account?”

(19) “Do yo’ chain hang low”

(20) “Open up ya mouth, ya grill gleamin”

(21) “What’s wrong with strippin’?”

(22) “Blacks can’t achieve without government forced affirmative action”

(23) “He ain’t real he’s just ‘acting white'”

(24) “Only focus on developing black females”

(25) “I got arrested because of the racist criminal justice system”

The litigious nature of American culture has e one of the great contributing factors to the decline of church discipline.

Al Gore launches network
Al Gore’s new Current TV network seeks to be “the television home page for the Internet generation,” the former vice-president said. With its debut today, Current TV seeks to be a more hip and cutting-edge form of presenting the news. “I think the reality of the network will speak for itself,” Gore told reporters. “It’s not intended to be partisan in any way and not intended to be ideological.” Sure thing Mr. Gore. Of course a network you are debuting...

Exchange on globalization and labor
From last week’s McLaughlin Group (July 30), an exchange between Pat Buchanan and Mort Zuckerman on the AFL-CIO split: MR. BUCHANAN: There’s no doubt it is a blow to the Democrats. And what Eleanor said is very important earlier. The future of the labor movement is in service workers and it’s government workers, John, because the industrial unions are dying. We are exporting all of their jobs overseas, whether it’s textile or steel or (atomic?) workers or auto workers. All...
Faith and works
The issue of the federal regulation of non-profit groups, including churches, has meshed with a number of other questions, including allegations of government discrimination against faith-based groups. Charles Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, writes of an attack on funding for faith-based initiatives in the New York Times as “typical of what’s been happening in the press and in Congress. Year after year, a Senate minority blocks votes on faith-based legislation. They demand that ministries not ‘discriminate’ by hiring only...
Antiochian orthodox to quit NCC
The terminal politicization of the National Council of Churches has led a major Orthodox jurisdiction to throw in the towel. The Antiochian Orthodox Church, meeting for its bi-annual convention in Dearborn, Mich., has “voted overwhelmingly” to leave the ecumenical body led by Rev. Bob Edgar, a former Democrat congressman. The news has been posted on Touchstone Magazine’s Mere Comments blog, and was phoned in by a correspondent for Ancient Faith Radio who was on the scene in Dearborn. Metropolitan Philip...
How to be a socially responsible investor
From : “Socially responsible investing is when you take your beliefs and values and apply them to how you invest your money. This is also known as having a ‘double bottom line,’ because not only are you looking for a profitable investment, but also one that meets certain moral criteria and that lets you sleep well at night. Your second bottom line could be moral, religious, or based on whatever Chicken Soup for the Soul principles help guide you through...

Fruitful math
Here’s a view of procreation that doesn’t line up with the UN-sponsored “World Population Day”. In the midst of a discussion about a Jewish tradition mandating that each couple has at least one male and one female child, Bryan Caplan at EconLog writes, I’m on the record in favor of having more kids. I believe that, in most cases, both individuals and society would be better off if families had three or four. A lot of people have small families...
