Woody Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Monday Afternoon there was a good old fashioned Christian burial at the Detroit memorial Park Cemetery. There were two Percheron horses fulling a pine box adorned with a bouquet of black roses and ribbons. The coffin will be placed at the Cemetery and will have a headstone. What is unique about this you ask? "Today we're not just burying the N-word we're taking it out of our spirit" said Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Yes ... what was buried was a word. This burial may be hard to accomplish. I fear that most blacks will resurrect the body over and over again. But I do wish them luck. I hope they succeed. It is LONG overdue. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

In my opinion, very very little by some of your previous posts! Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein

Laz ... what I mean is that most blacks will allow it to be resurrected by not speaking up loudly enough to ban the word. I would like to hear much more opposition to the word than what I am hearing now. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

I haven't noticed any difference there, but I am going to cut out the article in the paper and pin it on the bulletin board where everyone can see it. I have a feeling I may have to read it out loud. Even the black staff call each other that quite a bit. I know they "don't mean noth'n' " by it, but it still sounds awful to me. Laz, what do you think is the best way to get them to stop using it? Probably take a generation or so before they stop, don't you think? Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
