Now that I have explained my class system, I can further go into the real purpose behind this post. God knows there are THOUSANDS of issues that I would like to address my people with, but im just going to touch base on ONE that has been bothering me lately....
WHY THE F*CK MUST WE NAME OUR CHILDREN SH*T THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. What's wrong with normal names? I think that we should pass a law where hyphens and compound words CANNOT be put on birth certificates. If it sounds like a food, a spanglish word, venereal disease, or a medication for birth control that causes a plethora of deadly side effects, DONT GIVE THAT NAME TO YOUR CHILD!! I just feel like we're setting ourselves up for failure. If an employer sees two resumes of two qualified applicants, one named Sarah Mitchell and the other Delisha Jackson, honestly...who do YOU think he/she is going to call first? I really feel like we should just skip a step and give our kids first names like DontHireme or Welfarah', maybe even Incarceraysha. Long story short, black women...if you're pregnant...take your ass to walmart and buy a baby names book and pick one with less than 4 syllables. Think of your childrens' future. Personally, I don't think the name Shaniqua is cute at ANY age, but imagine a fifty-year old woman wanting to be taken seriously with a name like that. Well that's all I have to say on that for now. I've just been encountering some ridiculous names recently and the Lord inspired me to write about it. Just remember a black president was a huge step forward for blacks everywhere, but every f*cked up name given to a black child is 5 steps backwards. That is all.
