NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
Sep 7, 2025 10:03 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”

Liberty: A Delicate Fruit
Today is Independence Day in the United States, and the Christian Post asked me to weigh in on the question, “What Does American Freedom Mean to A Christian?” Lord Acton observed that liberty is “the delicate fruit of a mature civilization.” I reflect in this short piece about the intimate and delicate balance in the American experiment between life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from a Christian perspective. In the CP piece I note that our earthly loyalties must...
Russian Warns on Demonic Roots of Socialism
In Rome to address a conference sponsored by the Dignitatis Humanae Institute (Institute for Human Dignity) on June 29, Russian pro-life campaigner Alexey Komov expressed amazement for the support that socialism gets in some quarters in the West even though it has “never worked in world history.” In an interview with the Zenit news service, Komov pointed to how this ideology had caused such great pain and suffering “all in the name of social reform, progress and improvement.” His criticism...

The Declaration’s Great Defender
My fellow members in the Calvin Coolidge Fan Club will appreciate Julia Shaw’s great article explaining why “the man remembered as ‘Silent Cal’ is one of the most eloquent voices for the great and enduring principles expressed in our Declaration of Independence.” Historians rememberCalvin Coolidge as sayingthe “chief business of the American people is business,” a quote that’s frequently taken out of context. . . . Coolidge did not mean that Americans consider wealth to be the highest plishment. “The...
Legatus Magazine & Acton Round-Up
The Acton Institute’s staff is heavily featured in the July/August issue of Legatus Magazine. First, there is a brief review of the Rev. Robert Sirico’s new book, ‘Defending the Free Market’: He shows why free-market capitalism is not only the best way to ensure individual success and national prosperity, but is also the surest route to a well-ordered society. Capitalism doesn’t only provide opportunity for material success, it ensures a more ethical and moral society as well. Next is Samuel...
U.S. sugar policy invites bad jokes
Because there’s nothing sweet about it. As the 2012 Farm Bill moves through Capitol Hill, the policy debates are ramping up. The bill, projected to seriously cut the deficit, has garnered bipartisan support thus far, but will likely meet more resistance in the House. Whether or not the 2012 Farm Bill will cut its projected $23 billion dollars is subjective. Fluctuating crop prices and the extent to which the weather cooperates (pray for rain) will determine that. What is certain,...

Does a business have the right to offer certain discounts to certain people in order to bolster business and offer a service...
Rev. Robert Sirico: Creative Destruction and the Pruning Shears
Online today on the American Spectator is an article by Acton’s president, the Rev. Robert Sirico. In it, Rev. Sirico discusses the phenomenon of “creative destruction,” peculiar to free market systems, wherein newer and better industries and technology gradually replace older, less efficient ones. Rev. Sirico explains that while on the surface creative destruction appears to be harmful, in the long run it is crucial to a healthy, flourishing economy: “Sometimes what appears to be beaten back and damaged is...
American Agricultural Policy: Welfare for the Wealthy?
This morning I found that menter on my post about government failure in feeding the poor in India plained that we should not trust “corporations who own the government.” I think this is a point worth further consideration. After all, I would argue that in the United States we have lousy agricultural policy. We essentially still have policies from the Great-Depression era aimed at manipulating prices, and business interests predictably engaging in a form of regulatory capture. Jordan Ballor and...
