the gotcha is...unemployment rates in our communities haven't budged since the late sixties. and this was before these 'hood' names even came into existence.

racist hiring practices go far beyond a name.

My name is African though I'm african american.

It's Unawndi (you-non-dee) last name Teal. I love my name. Never had any issues with it except when Jumanji came out in grade school. The kids had a field day.

Hey Clatavia!

[Herb.]

@ 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.

Yeah I guess Darius for us would be tame. I mean we're black, we know people with much more complex sounding names. I do see that for the most part white people keep it extremely simple. They'll go nuts over naming a bvy "Anna" or "Sue", as if its some new innovative mess.

I just think we're more creative, and it's the creativity that is misunderstood.

black people have always been more creative and entertaining

That's why the world imitates us

!!!!

I don't think it's about the parents being ghetto or anything.

We just like to go above and beyond.
