Wait
So are we cool with these ignorant, contrived, faux-ethnic sounding names that some of these parents come up with? Or we just enjoy shytting on Raven when she says something controversial? I'm confused.

We need to learn the difference between an Afrikan name, or name with some other ethnic origin and a name that was obviously a poor attempt at ethnic pride. On one side, I understand its not the kids fault, but at the same time, lets not go so hard in favor of the continued ignorance of some of these names that we are low key promoting that crap. She ain't saying nothing that some of these doctors and nurses don't be thinking as they pull these babies out the womb like :usure:

Whats funny is a lot of these names these parents be making up sound more Greek than Afrikan in origin. Dontraveous or Martavius or anything with an "ius" or "ious" at the end of it. Or anything with a Tre' or La' as the prefix got a French connotation to it. I gotta admit, some of that shyt is creative as hell, but you are instantly putting a stamp on the baby that says "i am black", not that there's anything wrong with being black, but not all black people appreciate the sentiment of a name you created now being identified as a "Black Name".

Associating Black women with apes? And minstrel era stereotypes? :jbhmm:

I remember that vid going viral and being really popular. No one thought to call out those dudes? They weren't even Black for one.....

This is my biggest problem with it.

Funny part is these are the same kinda dudes didn't wouldn't say shyt to a nikka in public.
