NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
NAACP Should Bury More Than The “N-Word”
May 29, 2026 7:01 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 Evangelical Ecologist on “The Evangelical Ecologist”
I’m a big fan of Touchstone’s blog and the posts of senior editor S. M. Hutchens in particular. A very deep guy. That’s why I was intrigued when I founda book review of his in the New Atlantis entitled "The Evangelical Ecologist" while googling myself (if that doesn’t sound too crude).* He’s responding to E. O. Wilson’s The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth, in which Wilson asks the imaginary Baptist pastor to whom the book is addressed...
Thomas Oden: The tradition of voluntary poverty
A noteworthy quote on voluntary poverty from Thomas C. Oden. Oden has consistently articulated the concern that modern Christian theology is often tainted by political agendas, such as the radical elements of liberation theology. Here, Oden rebuffs the myth that a historic and conservative Christian theology has been anything less than strong in its identification and assistance in defense of the poor. Oden is a United Methodist theologian who is also an emeritus professor at Drew Theological Seminary. In addition,...
Check it out: ‘Big think’
A new interactive video sharing site for activism and “ideas,” Big Think (HT), including entries from experts like Niall Ferguson, Jagdish Bhagwati, Paul Krugman, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali (along with the requisite spate of politicians). Here, for instance, is Richard Cizik, vice president of Govermental Affairs at the National Association of Evangelicals, answering the question, “How should the Bible be interpreted?” Here’s a sample: “Your argument is not with me. Your argument is with God.” Cizik’s video is probably sixty...

Commercial Society reviewed on University Bookman
The University Bookman, a publication of the Russell Kirk Center, reviews Dr. Samuel Gregg’s The Commercial Society: Foundations and Challenges in a Global Age in its Fall 2007 issue. Actually, the Bookman reviewed it twice. Reviewer Robert Heineman, a professor of political science at Alfred University in New York, described the book as an “exceptionally well written volume” that should be read by anyone concerned about human freedom and progress. Heineman has this to say about Gregg’s discussion of democracy...
A plea for population control
What a perfectly optimistic way to begin the new year, via Hampton Univeristy Professor Cuker in : Jesus shared the earth with no more than 400 million other souls, Thomas Jefferson with about 1 billion contemporaries, and at projected population growth rates, our children will live with 9 billion others by mid-century. Such rapid population growth can not go on endlessly. Humans, like all other species, can only populate up to the carrying capacity of the environment. Carrying capacity is...
Suarez on just war
A few years ago I asked the question: “Just how many unjust acts can a just war pass before it ceases to be a just war?” This question assumed the connection between what scholars have defined as a distinction between ius ad bello and ius ad bellum, justness in the occasion for or cause of war and justness in the prosecution of war. Prof. Stephen Bainbridge and Prof. Anthony Clark Arend were among those kind enough to respond, alluding to...
