https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1994/03/27/some-names-are-uniquely-african-american/ Some names are uniquely African-American In Tangerae Michelle Dean's wallet are the images she treasures the most. There's 6-year-old Takara Niemah Starkese, her eldest. "She's a sweetheart," the St. Petersburg mother says. And there are photos of Takayla Niree-Shaneke, 4, and Travontez De- juan, 2. These children, she says, are far too pretty, far too beautiful for ordinary names. "When a child is pretty like my kids . . . you've got to give them pretty names. I didn't want any common name. I love beautiful names." A growing number of today's young black parents share Ms. Dean's sentiments. These moms and dads are giving their offspring original names that reflect the parents' ideas of uniqueness and beauty. Some experts think the practice is a statement of cultural identity and pride. Parents say newfangled names help fuse a new generation to its roots. Mothers like Ms. Dean, 22, say relatives and friends helped come up with the unusual names, many of which are creatively amalgamated from those of family members. Today's name creation among a younger generation of black people appears to be an evolution from authentic African and Muslim names that were bestowed on many children during the civil rights movement. "More emphasis on Afrocentrism makes for more creativity or even the making up of names," says Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and co-author of Raising Black Children. "There is more and more comfort in moving away from standard names like Mary and Jane. . . . Parents think they sound more beautiful, and they add uniqueness to the child."

Occasional? He played just about every day when he was POTUS.

No. Black couples often use made up "unique" names for their children. It is a part of black culture in the country.

Would prefer a 3 day weekend to playing golf every day.

If anyone says liberal men are feminine, I'll hit them with my feather boa!

And he later apologized for that and admitted he had been wrong...Oh, wait...

"Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?"

And we ain't gonna move from the first one because it will never happen.

But not over my ears as I heard Trump say all that stuff.

Maybee Weepaws is praying that SCOTUS will in the future affirm a ruling that makes all LGBTQ people criminals here too.

No I didn't. I was referring to that no one had said it in this forum. Not that it was never spoken by anyone in the real world.

The court has already found that he engaged in years of fraud to falsely inflate his net worth and unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization. The $464 million judgment – plus interest – against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands."

You and me both.

Yes, how times have changed.

The Chick-fil-A boycott was successful to the point that the parent company eventually discontinued their contributions to anti-LGBTQ organizations, at which point the boycott ended (so "yummy" chicken sandwiches can now be served during Drag Queen Story Hour).

Try to write.

Who is getting the lead in movies now because of DEI?

Biden hasn't said if reelected he will become a dictator on day one unlike Trump. Nor has Biden said he will arrest, lock up, and deport all the undocumented in this country unlike Trump. Nor has Biden said that anyone should be executed unlike Trump. Nor has Biden called the free press the enemy of the people unlike Trump. All of those statements by Trump are more in line with communism than the anything that Biden or the Democrats have done or suggested they will do.

Just a reminder folks, if a someone is trolling or spamming a thread you don't have to read all their posts.

Exactly. You can't make this stuff up.
