i find racism and ignorance quite hilarious which is why i ridicule it all the time. but yes, some stupid naacp people who "speak for the black community" would complain about it. then arises once again, how is it discriminatory if they are being inclusive?

i always wondered why that is, like why bulls are andered with red.

well im assuming you mean angered.....but the color is not what angers them....u could have a green flag and have it flapping in front of a bull and get it to charge....its about the motion of the cloth.....

yeah but why do people say red angers them and blue calms them?

they aren't classified, they are actually ethnically different. the "black" names (i even put it in quotes in the title before i made the thread since i knew someone would say what u said //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif are actually deriveritaves of african names. they are just shortened and are grammatically easier to say.

LOL sorry man but thats bullshit. I work in a black school and grew up in a black neighborhood and most people named their kids "black names" for shit around them. I knew twins named lemonjelo and orangejelo. Yes Lemon Jello and Orange Jello. 20 billion ja"regualrnamehere" ka"regualrnamehere" ta"regualrnamehere" ty"regualrnamehere" a shitload of magnificent, marvelous, fabulous. not one of them names derive from Africa. for about 2 years everyone named their kids muslim names. not african but muslim from the islamic faith which came about in the 1600s. I dont know 1 black person with an african name but an actual african.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif that makes no sense

but that's really tight that ur wife is black. in that case, you should know that the first people who pioneered these names (this is not a new thing...) were trying to hold onto the strong grammar of african roots. needless to say, they were completely off and people do it because it sounds "black" (i hate saying that...). //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
