NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
Mar 30, 2026 4:37 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”

Booker T. Washington on the beauty and dignity of work
“My plan was to have [my students]…taught to see not only utility in labour, but beauty and dignity.” –Booker T. Washington We live in a time of unbounding prosperity. Opportunities are wider, work is easier, and innovation continues to accelerate at a break-neck pace. Yet standing amid such blessings, it can be easy to forget or neglect the basic freedoms and philosophy of life that got us here in the first place. Alas, in a culture propelled by pleasure, materialism,...
Unemployment as economic-spiritual indicator — March 2017 report
Embed from Getty Images Series Note: Jobs are one of the most important aspects of a morally functioning economy. They help us serve the needs of our neighbors and lead to human flourishing both for the individual and munities. Conversely, not having a job can adversely affect spiritual and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Because unemployment is a spiritual problem, Christians in America need to understand and be aware of the monthly data on employment. Each month highlight the...

Ben Sasse on Christian witness in an age of disruption
In an age of continuous economic disruption and social fragmentation, what can possibly hold society together? Many are quick to turn to politics for such answers, pushing for increased price controls, trade barriers, and subsidies to prevent or mitigate the effects of such change. Others are just as quick to shrug off the disruption altogether, encouraging faith in “economic progress” and the enduring promise of productivity. But while the recent waves of economicdisruption have surely brought their share of opportunity...

How global trade enriched your Palm Sunday
This weekendmarked Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, when memorate Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem en route to His voluntary death, burial, and resurrection. On that day, Christians of all backgrounds bless and wave palm branches in imitation of the crowds who cried “Hosanna” as He rode a donkey into the city. But not all Christians use palm branches. Palms cannot grow in the harsh climate of northern Slavic nations such as Russia, Ukraine, and Poland. Instead, Catholics and Orthodox...
The 100th anniversary of a wealth destroyer
Like the United States, Canada instituted its federal e tax 100 years ago. In the states, the progressive e tax was a demand of the original Populist movement and, after being deemed unconstitutional, was adopted into the U.S. Constitution in 1913. But Canada – which marks the 100th anniversary of its e tax this year – saw the tax as a patriotic contribution to war. The origins and unforeseen growth of the personal e tax is the subject of a...
Why private investment works and government investment doesn’t
Do you remember the solar pany Solyndra? pany managed to go bankrupt despite the government being its biggest investor. Or, maybe they went bankrupt because the government was the primary investor. Burt Folsom, a historian and professor at Hillsdale College, says that this is nothing new. Looking at the history of the race to build America’s railroads and airplanes Folsom shows why private investment works and government investment does not. ...
Lord Acton Meets Lord Krishna: Yoga as the Reign of Conscience
In North America ‘Yoga’ is synonymous with exercise consisting of a series of postures as well as form-fitting and fortable pants. But there’s much more: it’s a philosophy deeply grounded in conscience as the source of virtue. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Indian philosophy which accept and rely on the Vedas, the most ancient scriptures of Hinduism. Yogic ideas of conscience are strikingly similar to the those of Lord Acton in particular and the Christian tradition...
