"Black" Names

[IM2]

So why are whites so intimidated by blacks choosing non traditional names?

That's a racist stereotype.

Blacks make up silly sounding names to make themselves stick out. Instead of being wallflowers they peacock.

Sounds right

They want their children to be unique rather than adopt vanilla names

.....they don't want to be like white people--who graduate and commit crimes at lower rates

You're white, and I sure as hell, would not want to be "like you".

Not much chance of that.

You white racists here assume many things you shouldn't about us blacks who are here. I can guarantee that every black person here has been far more sucessful than the whites who are racists in this forum. For example I know for a fact that not one of you losers has accomplished what Katsteve and his family has. If most of you had what katsteve throws away, you'd consider yourself highly sucessful people.

..exactly what does Katman throw away....???!!!??? [ hahaha ]

most whites never had anything to do with blacks
..but if the blacks want to keep failing, that's up to them

40 percent of the population of the south was in slavery
The white economy benefited from slave labor

Sounds like someone’s got a crush...

 

[Pogo]

Malik. LaShonda. Trayvon. LaToya. Names with mis-placed capital letters, and apostrophes.

Like McConnell? Or McDonald?

isn't Donovan McNabb Irish?

Scottish, laddie.

he's very Scottish, alright

Here he is eating haggis.

If that's the case....why are there so many blacks with Southern White names like Leroy?

I think what happened is so many blacks are kids having kids that they stopped being rational when they named their kids and started calling them names that were more French and exotic to make them sound like they got some bling...because they love Gold and Diamonds.

[Indeependent]

Yup... here - - - ^ ^ ^ - - - we have the "root cause of the problems" once again, BLACKS BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE FOR ALL THEIR PROBLEMS.

How utterly pathetic.

You know, your argument would have merit if there was not evidence of laws and policies that support my assertion.

No race on the planet has been more ACCOMMODATED, CODDLED, GIVEN SPECIAL TREATMENT and ALLOWED TO ADVANCE WITHOUT MEETING the LEVELS OF IT'S PEERS than BLACKS. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION being example #1.

Your assertion is a FARCE.

My assertion is the truth. Your comments are an example of psychosis. Whites have benefited the most from AA.

Affirmative Action Has Mostly Helped Whites, but Trump Administration Says Not Enough

In 2013, Time Magazine reported, “Affirmative action has helped white women more than anyone.” The reporter cited several studies showing that the gains from white women due to affirmative action policies eclipsed any benefits that people of color experienced. In most cases, these policies have helped move the nation toward gender equality but have left minorities behind. The resulting trend is an equality gap between races.

The Economic Policy Institute reported in February 2017, “The racial wealth gap is much larger than the wage or income gap by race. Average wealth for white families is seven times higher than average wealth for black families. Worse still, median white wealth (wealth for the family in the exact middle of the overall distribution—wealthier than half of all families and less-wealthy than half) is twelve times higher than median black wealth. More than one in four black households have zero or negative net worth, compared to less than one in ten white families without wealth, which explains the large differences in the racial wealth gap at the mean and median. These raw differences persist, and are growing, even after taking age, household structure, education level, income, or occupation into account.”


In 2005, the New York Times reported on a book by Ira Katznelson, the Ruggles professor of political science and history at Columbia University, that detailed a historical account of how affirmative action policies were first developed in the United States and primarily benefitted whites while perpetuating economic and wealth inequality based on race. The Times reports, “Katznelson demonstrates that African-American veterans received significantly less help from the G.I. Bill than their white counterparts. ‘Written under Southern auspices,’ he reports, ‘the law was deliberately designed to accommodate Jim Crow.’ He cites one 1940s study that concluded it was ‘as though the G.I. Bill had been earmarked ‘For White Veterans Only.'”

Affirmative action in the United States has historically benefited white people the most. Whether marketed by Democrats or subverted by Republicans, the system reinforces institutional racism by disproportionately benefitting white people—even though affirmative action policies were created to help achieve equality among races.

MUCH lower rates

Whites commit more crime.

Blacks cant grast "per capita." Not sure why, they're just happy in their ignorance

I grasp per capita just fine. But 7 crimes out of every ten are committed by whites and since crime is an action not done by everyone in any race, you can only asses rates by the number of people committing the action.

More Lost Cause Bull Shit

Democrats never brought slaves to the country. It was abolished 20 years before the Democratic Party was formed

I have written in this space previously that much of Black "inequality" can be reasonably attributed to voluntary behaviors by individual Blacks - mainly bastardy, school drop-out tendency, and petty criminality - and I have recently come upon another one, also a total mystery to me.

It is "common knowledge" in the Black community that having a "Black" name can often lead to, for example, employment applications being discarded, and other similar forms of discrimination. Indeed, I have read some first-person accounts of white people having Black-sounding names (e.g., "Jamal") and experiencing such discrimination "unfairly"(?).

And yet, the trend toward bizarre Christian names among Blacks seems to be increasing as time goes by.

Malik. LaShonda. Trayvon. LaToya. Names with mis-placed capital letters, and apostrophes. I pity the inner-city Kindergarten teacher who must address these children in school for the first time, trying to figure out how to pronounce some of these bizarre names, and to do so without laughing. I have occasionally thought that mothers invent them in the hope that one day the child will be a mega-super-star of one form or another who can be known simply by that first name. Shaquille. OJ. Michael. Et cetera. (Oops. Has anybody used that one?)

But seriously, is this not an utterly stupid thing to do? Why would you - even potentially - saddle your kid with a name that will label him/her as Black, sight unseen, for the rest of his or her life, knowing that it is likely that the name will result in negative discrimination in at least some circumstances? You might as well put a tattoo on your child's forehead saying, "My Mother is an Idiot."

Were I a Black parent, I would go to the other extreme, naming my kid with the most Wasp-ish name I could imagine ("Chatsworth Osborne Smith"), in the hope that it might open a door somewhere in the future. If you want to CALL your kid something more creative, knock yourself out. But to put "D'boneHead" on a Birth Certificate is almost criminally stupid.

"Christian" names?

I have no problem with Malik or Trayvon. But when a set of parents deliberately names their son "Plaxico" I do have to question what the fuck they were thinking.

You really might want to examine the range of white peoples names before talking.

I have to admit. White names are not very original

they were when they were thought up....

Try this one:

Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin

Spoiler: Sounds like this

Enya

Yes, because it's Gaelic.

Those southern democrats are now republicans. Whites were not slaves and whites created a national system of white racial preferences after slavery. So all this mess about whites being slaves but they made it so why can't blacks is a lie that purposefully denies history.

Once again, enter the inconvenience of Linear Time. Not only was the importation of slaves already prohibited in 1808 per the Constitution, a quarter-century before Martin van Buren formed that party, but in fact no political party of any kind was ever needed, or involved in, the importation of slaves even before that date.

Or maybe the poster thinks that those hundreds of thousand of Africans starting in the 16th century three hundred years before van Buren, just "showed up" here because their GPS went awry.

White Southern Conservatives are traditionally Democrat. Been that way for over 150 years. Their Daddy voted Democrat, their Grand Daddy voted Democrats......they don't vote for no damn Yankee Republicans.

Slavery began almost 200 years before there was a democratic party.

Over three hundred really, if we confine to North America. The first captive Africans were brought to what is now South Carolina in 1526. Van Buren organized the Democratic Party in the 1830s. Of course if we don't limit to North America, we have a ton more Africans imported into the Caribbean, Central America and Brazil, at earlier dates, where the Democratic Party had surprisingly little influence. Most mathematicians attribute this dearth of influence to their existence being three to four hundred years in the future, coupled with the absence of any available time machine technology. Some speculate that the fact that those areas were not and never would be part of any country wherein the Democratic Party resides is also a factor.

Of course, none of this matters to mythologists. Next week: How the Republican Party invented the Wheel in January of 48000 BC.

Actually that would be roughly 99 years, 1865 to 1964. In that year Strom Thurmond jumped, butthurt over not being able to stop the Civil Rights Act. He was followed by a cast of thousands because the unthinkable became thinkable.

Worst kid name ever ... I know a 17-year-old named 'Felony'. Not a nickname ... it's on his birth certificate. His mom named him 'Felony'. He's committed a fair few of them already as well.

He's a white kid.
