How White People Subtly Reinforce White Supremacy When They Laugh at Black Names

[DonCoquixote]

160. It's not like you cannot buy a book of baby names

and find names in EVERY culture that sound either odd, or lovely. Mother England has more than a few names that would earn a joke or two. But yet, because the Anglo culture reins, it gets to focus on names not like itself, even though the American variant of Anglo culture is often ignorant of it's own roots. If a kid walked into school with a name like "Alister" or "Siobahn", they would get picked on too, even though those names would not bat an eyelash in the UK or Australia.

The only slight reason to wonder at the names is that that were often obvious creations of the parent, but hey, America tried it's best to sever connection with Africa, so if people get creative, why not? Also, we know know that even well established African names like "Barack" or "Hussein" would still get pilloried, so to Hell with the people who half the time cannot even know if their names are Hebrew derivative or Celtic.
