    As a black man with a few decades behind him, these black names you see today did not come down from slavery. When I was growing up everybody had normal names. Go back to 1980 and you will not find a black man or woman with a name that ends in "vion" or "quita". I remember it starting in the 1980 and 90's and seemed to be part of a misguided belief that these names were more African.

      I’m not sure about this one I’m African and Jamaican my name is Omojowo Gordon Terry . Growing up I was made fun of etc but my name has history and is culture. A bit of creole in us… however growing up In certain parts she ain’t lying. I had one who named his kid Courvoisier? I asked why and he said that was the drink he was on when the child was conceived. I also think naming kids harder to pronounce name or urban names makes it harder in the job force. Often times which is sad… people don’t even select resumes if they have a hard time pronouncing your name. So i see both sides

    Got a friend whose birth name was "Sarache Quantica" and some other nonsense before her surname. That's four names they gave this girl. She turned 18 and had it legally changed to "Sara." Pissed her family off so much that her grandparents refused to talk to her for years because she was "turning her back on her skinfolk to act like a little white girl." Put herself through college,majored in political science, and decided that changing her name was the best decision she ever made. She'll probably see this comment at some point, too.

    My mother-in-law was a delivery nurse for 40 years in Danville Illinois and she had some stories. One black woman gave birth to a baby girl and my mother-in-law asked her what she wanted as her name on the birth certificate. She said her name is Pee Sue Sheot. The mother-in-law got upset and said she would not put that as the little girl's name. The black woman threw a fit and called the hospital Admin. and chewed them out. That poor little girl's name is now Pee Sue Sheot. You can't pick your parents. What a world. They can blame slavery all they want but it is obvious the real reason is stupidity.

Another small group in our nation did - ships, auction houses and plantations. Very few, only the elite Whites had slaves in their home - ""owned". No, for the people who owned the slave trade.
      I already knew this when I discovered Doctor Tony Martin he was a great teacher. His videos./classes were up on TH-cam for a long time. I know that he was getting in trouble with the university, and there was threat of him being removed for speaking the truth. I think they finally did Stop him from teaching!
      Surely, many blacks and everyone, everyone else saw these videos too. They were widely passed. And people regularly commented as this knowledge spread so there shouldn’t be people repeating that whites enslaved Blacks in America, because that is not the truth. There are people you can’t criticize., so I get in trouble if I speak plainly There was sabbath on Saturday, so the auction houses were closed.
      Please understand., We can be understanding and compassionate, but to be blamed for a false history, demonized, and constantly hear of what is not true, It’s not healthy for anybody to swallow when it happens to them or their people. Free speech is so important. It’s when the dialogue between people is not open, that they can divide us, and when we can’t work our challenges, it’s not acceptable to talk freely. Trump has a gay on him. They can talk about him and slander him all they want. He can’t defend himself. He can’t say anything about them they can trash him all day they have unjustly in court on trial, and he has to swallow it every day. Well., perhaps whites don’t like swallowing. Injustice and lies.

There is absolutely no reason why black people cant speak proper vernacular english. They have the same tongue & vocal chords as everyone else. Why do some black people speak like that? I imagine its just a cultural thing. It is an ugly quality, tbh. I have never met a black person who uses ghetto slang who was a well rounded, respectful intellectual.

She wrote the name “Shithead” on the birth certificate. When the lady asked her why she did this, she said the child’s name was pronounced “Shuteed”. She said to her niece that even if that is what she meant, she just named her daughter S H I T H E A D! I don’t know why we let kids keep these babies. Children this young should either have an adult member of the family be given custody or the baby should be put up for adoption. At the very least, they should not be given any form of welfare. It just encourages this bad behavior and is ruining our country. A child cannot raise a child properly.

      @@Memo-nd6fj I used to use Diversity training days to sit in the back, quietly (since, Straight White Right-wing Christian Male, no one wanted to hear anything from me, anyway) and just observe.
      I would then take note of the most vocal and obviously (insert any word ending with "-ist" here) people who seemed to me to be the most unreasonable and then waited for them to give me a reason to fire them, because those were the people most-likely to lose me my job.
      Diversity Training and whatnot is not an exercise in team building -- it often has the opposite effect by creating division and rancor where none existed in the first place; it's all simply a means of keeping the lawyers happy.
      Because the first defense in a discrimination suit is always "But, Your Honor, we have mandatory diversity training and a top-notch DEI program here".
      When you manage a staff for a Fortune 100 you don't care where competence, professionalism and talent come from. If that person is making you money, or making you look good, you don't care what color they are, what sort of wedding tackle they're packing, or who they sleep with.
      The only color visible is GREEN.

I have zero criminal record and a good resume. If you Google my name, the most prominent thing that comes up is an article from my hometown newspaper of me getting an Army Commendation Medal for Valor when I was deployed to Iraq.

Just put your profile picture, a nice summary of accomplishments, and make sure your resume on LinkedIn matches your resume that you'd send to a recruiter! I can't tell you how many times I've received resumes that don't match their LinkedIn profile. That's a big RED FLAG. That said, I would not post anything else other than what I've mentioned.

    I worked with a lady named Tamaranesha 🤔. Often black kids names aren’t created in the spirit of “slave heritage, etc”. It’s just blacks trying to be different. More often than not, trying to be different creates more troubles than needed. Thats what the white lady was asking about. As a black man I find it very head scratching some of the names I’ve come across.

      The worst I have personally come across is Shithead -- pronounced Sha-theed. But there are plenty of others that are almost as bad. Some are even worse. My father worked in a hospital when he was in college. He said a woman named her kid Syphilis -- pronounced Sa-phyllis. The women who name these kids say the names of "pretty" and they are "different." But they ruin a kid's life.

    My Dad and Mom gave their 10 children Christian names because we are Christians. In fact, when I was in school all the way through high school all the BGs & BBs had regular names. It's cruel for these mothers to give their own children these unheard-of, hard-to-pronounce-and-spell names. That young impressionable child goes their entire youth hearing "Huh?", "Say that again", and "Please spell that for me" all the time while kids with common names are seated and watching all this play out. It's deeply traumatizing.

    No lie, these names are getting insane. My kids will never have some absurd name that can't be spelled or pronounced.

    "Roots" taught me that the master gave the slaves their names. Which is it? All my black friends (in many different cities and states) had regular names. Started to change in the 80's. This reference back to slave day naming sounds like something out of a studies course and just as made up as the names themselves.

      Most slaves took their former masters’ surnames or chose the surnames of famous Americans. It’s why so many black folks are “Jackson”, “Washington”, Jefferson”, etc.
