Black people suck at names

[Master of 7s]

Err I dont remember the Irish being slaves to anyone in the USA, and basically culturally back in the 60+, the closer to white you were the better. And I'm sure for most racist, as long as you dont tell them your name etc, your more accepted or not shunned upon where as someone plainly black would be. The Irish also didn't get their culture stripped from them either. Big difference in alot of things actually, too much to list.

Actually, while not nearly as bad as slavery was, Irish people were more or less forced into indentured servitude for a period of seven years upon arriving here in the early days of this country. Trouble is that they looked like every other white person in this country so they could easily run away and start somewhere else (barring the accent giving them away).

For a period, the early Americans tried enslaving the Native American tribes, but that didn't go over so well. Ultimately, Africans were imported as slaves because they were easy to keep track of and had hardier constitutions.

As for the Irish not being stripped of their culture? Might I suggest you learn some world history before thinking that black people are unique in being oppressed by others. The British and the Irish were at each other's throats for centuries before the first Europeans even set foot on these lands.

Epithets like "mick" and "paddy" were coined over there long before "nigger" came into existence. Fact is, the history of the Irish in Europe reads like the history of black people in this country.

The key difference? Black people still behave like victims.

Seriously, this country was built on the backs of black people. Many innovations in science, medicine and technology were pioneered by black people. Even today, through music and culture, black people hold more power in their grasp than anyone else on the damned planet.

Hip-hop is everywhere, our ideas and way of life is mimicked by many. Yet for all the power we hold, we squander it playing the 40 acres and a mule bit over and over and over again. Stuck in the victim role that our parents handed down to us, we fail repeatedly to ascend to the greatness that is ours by birthright because we won't let the past die.

At this stage, no one is keeping us down but us. Crabs in a bucket IMHO.

All that said, I'm still naming my first born daughter, Batia. Fuck all you cracka' ass mutha fuckas'.

I hate fucking yuppie white people that name their boys stupid ass shit like Hunter and Dakota. I also hate the recent trend of giving girls stripper/porn star names like Madison and Savannah.

Probably the worst of all are white celebrities, though. It seems like they really fucking hate their kids. Apple? Fuck you. Rumer? Fuck you. Harley Quinn? Seriously, fuck you. Pilot Inspektor? Fucking kill yourself.

Apple (I forget who's kid)
Kal-el (Nick Cage's kid)

Celebrity names are definitely the worst. Still, I met a lot of douchey rich people in college, and surprisingly few people with ridiculous shitty names. A Skye here, an Ashton there, but not much too out of the ordinary.

Of course, of the few strange names, there were some good ones. I have a friend named Kal-El, but it's not too unusual to call a guy "Cal" so it's never been particularly odd.

Kal-el (Nick Cage's kid)

He's a dirty thief.

[Saint of Killers]

Gwyneth Paltrow, I think. I'm not gonna go look that shit up though.

The best awful celebrity kid name, easily, comes from someone who barely even qualifies as a celebrity - Drew "Moriarty" McWeeney of Ain't It Cool News named his son Toshiro Lucas McWeeney. Kal-El Coppola Cage (Master of Alliteration) is a close second.

Thread is over, Mo7 wins. Also, I bet he kicks ass at games like Call of Duty. Nazi Killer in the 10th degree imo.

My parent's aren't white celebrities, and they still named me Pineapple. Are you suggesting they should fuck themselves? You sir, will have a slap fest brought down upon you like so many plagues. Prepare for the swarm, mohamby.

Also, I knew someone named Mohamby. Stupidest fucking name I've ever heard. I wanted to sucker punch him as soon as he introduced himself.

Wait, Pineapple's your name IRL?






...sorry.

read a little bit more about that. They were contracted out to work about seven years but it was normal to work your entire life for the family that helped you come over by oweing them money through the local goods store. You might earn about $25 a year, but the tools you need to run your farm might total about $100 a year.

there have been rich bigots screwing others over for a very long time in this country

I never went off on a tanget about " the white man holding me down" so I dont know where the rest of that came from, im fully aware of all of stuff you said.

All my points are in refrence to names, and the racism behind it. So I still think everyone is taking my post out of context with the thread, but w/e.

Good post none the less.
