I know 4 a fact tht africans didnt name those countries... hell africa is named after africanus, a roman general

Well I don't think that you know how Chad got its name. Chad (Tchad) means water in one of the local African languages of people that live around what is Lake Chad.

90% of us have "cac names".

Some names are not Cac names, but Cacs use them over and over; so the names become associated with them. John, Mark, Luke, Mary and names like that are likely not Cac names. A lot of names have been shortened and/or Anglicized.

Back in my scumbag days I used to cop coke in overtown from a black dude named Todd. Dude was mad cool. I had a really nice Cadillac Deville and I caught a flat tire on my way to him. I was drunk as fukk and told him fukk it, I'll leave it here and catch a cab or walk home and deal with that shyt in the morning. He straight up told me if I leave my shyt there, Ima come back and my shyt gonna be stripped with hookers and bums fukking in it :skip: he let me park it at his building two blocks down and he looked after it til the morning. Salute to him. My shyt was still in one piece the next day.

Love
or a white person that had a black name?

I know a white chic named Jacquetta :jbhmm:

todd......yes

Can someone explain to me how in the U.S. they came about viewing some obviously European names as black names where as some are views as strictly whit names?

Like Michael or Mike or Tyrone and so on are all european names from what i understand. Black americans have invented some of their own names in order to distinguish themselves over the years. But how did (let's say) Tyrone go from white european to almost exclusively black whereas names like Brad as one poster suggested would be a white name? Both european IMO. Is it just a matter of those euro names being very common in the black community. Were these names relinquished by white americans as they became more popular among blacks?

Anto to answer OP I know a white girl named Latoya.
