Are black names really that hard to pronounce for them or are these cacs trolling?

Creative. Won't say they're exactly the easiest upon first glance, but we can definitely be unique.

:pachaha:Why so many called Deja anyway? Deja means "already" in french :dead:

If white people can pronounce names like Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Tchaikovsky perfectly, they can pronounce your name.

They are just pretending its difficult so they can rename you. Don't let this passive aggressive slight go on. Correct them if they say it wrong until they say it right.

Your name is your name.

They know how to pronounce these names because they've heard them forever. Most have a hard time pronouncing Eastern European names if they hear it for the first time. I'm half-Belgian and I know that most Euros cannot pronounce Flemish last names like Verhofstatd or Van Cauwenberghe, etc. shyt most people can't pronounce Maastricht correctly.
