PSA: If you hate/mock "ghetto" names, you are a fkking qoon

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

Why are you all so embarrassed by those names?

Why does someone have to be embarrassed. shyt is dumb.

 

[Sierra Mist]

that doesnt make sense

Those ghetto names were created by impoverished blacks in the 50's-60's because they felt the need to "disassociate" from white people. In order to do that they created names that had an "African feel" but were not really African names. Their culture was stripped of them so they did the best they could to go back to their "roots" but those names still have nothing to do with Africa. Names like Shaniqua were created because blacks didn't want to have "slave names" but Shaniqua still ain't an African name. It's no different than when people try to sound smart by using big words they don't even know the definitions of.
Real African names are not the same as ghetto names. Learn your history.

In your opinion. Every name in history was made up by somebody but because you all associate those names with being ghetto, you show disdain for it.

What makes one name better than the next? The person is what makes the name.

If you met a black american kid named Aristotle or cleopatra and those names were never associated with anyone in history, just made up by the parents, you all would probably think they were ghetto too.

Jamal is a real name. Shaniqua is not a historical African name. Sorry breh.

I dont see the African feel in Shaniqua or Lakecia, homie.

Most africans that i know that have traditional African names sound like Timba, or something like that. Other africans have either English or French or spanish names based on who colonized their country.

Try again

That's why I put in quotation marks idiot. They think it has an African feel. That doesn't mean it really is.

Oh please. Talking about real names as though the names that are considered "normal" were ordained as such or just existed without an origin from someone.

This whole ghetto name cramp is so silly. I wonder if other countries have their own list of names they consider ghetto? Or is that just how America is?

 

[Chris.B]

I knew this dude in my highschool called "Wonderarius"

I'm a second generation African...none of these names are African. Don't get it twisted.
