NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
Feb 11, 2026 9:23 AM

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”

Do Half of All Public School Children Live in Poverty?
Back in October I offered five guidelines on “how to be a better guesstimater,” ways to hone your skills at guessing and estimation — guesstimation — that will help us minimize innumeracy. A recent Washington Post article—“Majority of U.S. public school students are in poverty”—shows how applying these five tips could prevent people from falling for obviously inaccurate reporting. Here is the main claim of the article: For the first time in at least 50 years, a majority of U.S....
Economic Freedom Brings Freedom from Poverty
“Today, we live in the most prosperous time in human history,” notes the the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual guide published by The Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation. “Poverty, sicknesses, and ignorance are receding throughout the world, due in large part to the advance of economic freedom.” The Index covers 10 freedoms – from property rights to entrepreneurship – in 186 countries. So why should we care about economic freedom around the world? Because it is a...
From Inmates to CEOs
If you’re a convicted criminal, finding a job while you’re in prison is often easier than getting one after you’ve served your time. Because of an expansive list of mandatory post-release sanctions, inmates often leave prison facing what Jeremy Travis, the president of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a former director of the National Institute of Justice, has called a secondary “invisible punishment” that is frequently more severe than the one levied by any judge or jury....
Greeks Lurch Left
It gets really interesting now in the wake of Syriza’s stunning victory in yesterday’s Greek elections, widely interpreted as a populist rejection of austerity programs that could spread to other indebted European Union basket cases. All eyes on are Alexis Tsipras, the newly-sworn in prime minister (in a highly unusual secular ceremony), with a lot of unanswered questions about how his party will govern. (Syriza is the transliterated Greek acronym for Coalition of the Radical Left). I’ve been following this...
C.S. Lewis on Mere Liberty and the Evils of Statism

The Super Bowl Hummus Showdown
Taking advantage of every Super Bowl XLIX opportunity to empty a sack full of football tropes, Green America unleashed an email this week, seeking your writer’s help in pressuring Sabra Hummus to discontinue use of genetically modified organisms. The tasty product, distributed by Sabra Dipping Co., LLC and 50-percent owned by PepsiCo Inc., goes well with chips and soft drinks on game day but has raised the ire of anti-GMO activists Green America and the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility....
You Can’t Have ‘Settled Science’ Based on Unsettled Data
During his most recent State of the Union address, President Obama talked about climate change and claimed, “2014 was the planet’s warmest year on record.” Obama was basing his statement on a press release by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). According to the NASA data collected from more than 3,000 weather stations around the globe, “The year 2014 ranks as Earth’s warmest since 1880.” Climate change skeptics pushed back by questioning the accuracy of the report (more on...
The Complexities of Sexuality, Religion, and Cake
Last Friday at Religion Dispatches, Kara Loewentheil explored the recent story of a Denver bakery that is being “sued for refusing to bake a homophobic cake.” She calls into question the legitimacy of the request: It’s a snappy inversion of the now-classic example of bakers who refuse to provide wedding cakes for gay marriage mitment ceremonies (or florists who refuse to provide flowers, photographers who refuse to photograph the ceremony, etc.). And that’s probably not an accident;if I were a...
Get Useless: Stewardship in the Economy of Wonder
“This is useless. This is gratuitous. This is wonder.” –Evan Koons When we consider the full realm of Christian stewardship, our minds immediately turn to areas like business, finance, ministry, the arts, education, and so on — the placeswhere we “get things done.” But while each of these is indeed an important area of focus, for the Christian, stewardship also involves creating the space to stop and simply behold our God. Yes, we are called to be active and diligent...
