How am I ignorant?
Every name I just mentioned was white-centric. I hate Aiden. Can't believe I forgot it.
Here's the thing... While your friend is an asshole for naming her kid that because it sounds dumb and is not an accepted American name and she's probably not Greek, it's a real name in another language. Gaia is the female equivalent of Gaius, as in Gaius Julius Caesar.
Miz'unique, Sir'dominic, Barkevious and D'qwell are stupid fucking names. They're stupid because they're made up, difficult to spell, and don't make any sense from a grammatical perspective.
The trend of overuse of le, la and unnecessary apostrophes is specific to the last two generations of black people. Me saying that doesn't mean I'm being ignorant.
White people are guilty less of making up names than of naming their kids weak ass yuppie names.
I don't hate Wyatt because it makes me think of Earp, but I get your drift.
Can you give me some examples of made up white names? I want more to complain about.
It's ignorant because slaves took their masters names, their parents didn't get to name them. So when it became available it was like, "we make our own destiny" which is actually pretty awesome and admirable. Malcom X, Kareem. The most famous is Ali. He is where I am from Louisville, and Clay was the most respected African American name there was there. It carried weight. Below 1st the next street is Clay named after his ancestors not Cassius.
When you are talking about making up names it is. along history of improvisation and not buying into white bullshit. So yeah, you don't get a job, but is it any surprise that people don't want to be the white man's cog? Plenty of white people execute people in movie theatres for the same reasons.
Dumb spellings are the most common "white ways" of fucking up a name. Heard of Jaxon? Keesha? Bryan? Allyson? I even just found out Gaia is spelled Ghaia in this instance!! They just aren't straight going for it like black people, which IMO is a bigger sin.
I like you, but you look stupid with this and the hip hop culture thing to be honest. The most together dudes I have ever met are probably Snoop and Wacka Flocka. They have tq world on a string and they made up 2 stupid names that everyone loves and goes crazy for.
