@ Afro I agree.

I use to love my friends names Tyniquah and Jakeem. So edgy and creative LMAO!

!!!!!!

I don't think we're taught to hate "black names".

Many of our friends and family had them.

There this was this guy down the block from me named Jahquail. I thought his name was so sexy.

If anything, I got more heat from black people for my name. A lot of heat.
My big sis was about to fight someone one day over it.

SO I cant really see this big "issue in our community" of not accepting ethnic names.

But this is just my personal experience.

DDDDDDDDD

I had a friend named Darius. Very simple name IMO but the white people at my job were like  his name so black!!

After i called them crackers for having cookie cutter names, we had this discussion about names. But it's just funny how it looks completely different from the outside.

I hate white ppl who act like they can't pronounce a name. My name is pretty simple but yet almost anytime I tell a white person my name they can NEVER get it right. its always Tyrone, TYron. TERRON Like ugh 

bbbb

I don't think they're doing it purposely. They're so simple when it comes to naming their kids. To us, the pronunciation would be a piece of cake. 

hnbvv I forgot about TAYron ugh but my name is spelled just how it's pronounced. The thing that really makes me mad is even if I correct them they still don't get it right  is it the THIN lips or something?

nnnn

its pronounced tah-ron right?

yeah dat me

I keep seeing some black people trying to defend her talking about "you know this is a problem in our community"

Like...you're proud that someone is being discriminated against because their name points to them being black?

I never saw the name issue as something huge in our community tbh.
If anything I always felt (growing up especially) that names which were deemed to be more ethnic were cooler.
I always thought the Derricks, Davons, etc. were cool.

I think the light skin dark skin thing is bigger than anything and is something deeply embedded from childhood.
I see no excuse for these comments Raven made, aside from sheer ignorance.

Nah I actually had a teacher who begged us to give our children proper(white names) like Evan, Brian etc.,

Maybe its a geographical thing.

Being from NYC, I should probably think more before dismissing "issues" others may bring up.

Cuz in such a melting pot like NYC, if a teacher wanted to keep their job they'd better keep that to themselves.
Where did you grow up?
