Maybe it's being sheltered and stuck in a bubble, maybe it's a lack of care, a lack of education, or a combination of all of it.
ask yourse;f this question. is success really worth it if you have to conform everything about yourself to reach it? Thats like saying, all black women should straighten their hair so it looks more "white" and employers will like it, or a guy getting a low hair cut as opposed to dreds because employers may find it too black. A name is a name and it doesnt make who you are.
A name is a name, you're right, and it should mean something. These names don't mean jack #$@@. They're just ridiculous, made-up perceptions of something without meaning or purpose.
Thank you.Originally Posted by potus2028
Okay...so am I to understand that a stupid %+% made up name constitutes a certain degree of "realness"? Is it really "noble" to name your kid something that looks like a bad Scrabble rack? Is it a "statement" to add D', La, or Je on the front of a perfectly good name as some kind of badge of black pride? That's a bunch of %+#$+*%!. My name is Anthony and I'm NT-black, so to insinuate that taping together a bunch of apostrophes and consonants into a name is some kind of counterculture awesomeness is just stupid.
I can dig if there's a meaning behind a name, but even my naturally rebellious %+% knows that you pick your battles to save your strength for the important +*##. That's why I just gave my kid a name that people can pronounce without an accompanying flash card. Job prospects aside, I think having the teacher get your name right every first day of school is underrated.

But that's the thing.....these aren't even "black" names....they're just names...They're not even African in origin. They have no true etymology (for the most part, some actually do and are very thoughtful in nature, take Shaquille for instance).
to compare it to Muslims.....apples and oranges.
Point is a vast majority of these names are completely half-baked, pulled out of parent's #%$*%.
