Giving your child a "black" name

[Jaylen Tatum]

I'm the only person in the world with my name

 

[MoveForward]

Btw... I know a white boy named Jerome. He told me he's certain he has been discriminated against because of his name.

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

Fukk all you c00ns in here promoting white names

We already have these clowns last names, what more do they want?

I have a white name and it hasn’t helped, if someone is anti black doesn’t matter if your name is Connor McBurger or Jaquan Downtown Brown

It’s funny too because Jerome is a “white” name of Greek origin

I dont really rock with that give your kids a "white name" shyt at all, its some trying to scrub away your ethnic identity type of shyt

Meanwhile white people are trying to be "unique" by spelling their kids name all kinds of fukked up

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

my kids getting nigerian name off rip, wife can argue all she wants. im not hearing it

Half of those names originate from Islam

they either Islamic or irish in nature but let these mfers tell it

Sad that folk have the mindset that they can't even give their kids an ethnic name due to fear of the oppressor not giving them a job. The white man really did perpetual damage to everything he touched in a myriad of ways.

Well black folks are at the bottom when it comes to being CEOs and business owners.

Can you blame them?

Not every black person is trying to struggle with life to be some “Warrior”.

The same way not every black person is trying to be warrior and putting up with having to live in the hood.

I have an American first name but my mother decided to get all creative with my middle name. Im just glad I dont have to put mu middle name down on most paperwork.

I have a homie with a black name and you can see the frustration in his face when white people come to in work and try and pronounce his name.

Half of those names originate from Islam

And the others are derivatives of Hebrew/jewish names.

 

[intra vires]

I'll be dammed if I let this mediocre society dictate what I name my children.

My fiancée’s names (first, middle, and last) are all ethnic and I have an ethnic surname, so it's not really a big concern to either of us. We usually just get the ignorant “where are you from?” question which we snarkily answer with our birth cities. We've already chosen four pairs of names (she only wants two kids but it's a contingency if we have two boys/girls) that reflect our future children's dual heritage.

Teach your kids how to network and they'll be declining offers they never solicited. I'm not saying that people don't throw resumes out because of names, but there are ways to subvert that so I wouldn't make that the basis of my child's name.

Thank you. You still gonna be a nikka in the interview. Why waste your time on a company that bushes resumes based on whether the name sounds Black.

Cuz when you show up for the interview you can shave your facial hair and speak in your best Kanye voice.

Then come on thecoli and say “fukk white people”

If you wanna blend in fine, just don’t put the fist up and come looking for black unity when you get knocked upside the head.

Get some cake soap and keep blending in nikka
