I'm Nigerian American so I have Nigerian last name but a colonialist(British) first name. I've been seriously considering changing it to a Nigerian first name. I think black people in the western hemisphere should ditch their slave names.

Yeah this is the case with alot of Africans including myself. 'white' First name and African surname

I don't know this to be a fact, but isn't that ez at the end of those names Arabic? I was under the impression that ez, means something like Mr.

Isn't Arabic read from right to left, rather than left to right? I am not sure so I am asking, ez might be an Arabic suffix; like Mister. If that is the case are those names really Spanish or are they Arab?
idk if it comes from Arabic but names that end in -ez in Spanish are patronymic

What about Jews who changed their last name to Silver, Goldstein, etc?

Just don't change their names to that, those are their names lol a lot of them come from germany, that's why when you see Goldstein, Weinstein, you think of jews, but those are german names, because they come from germany, jews never had hebrew names.

They don't call Jerusalem by it's Hebrew name, they don't call Israeli by it's hebrew name, their not hebrews the jews with yiddish sounding names which are hybrids of a hebrew, german, and russia came about when they converted over, it was an actually german that started that trend.

when they change their names they pick names like Cuban or Stewart

how is a question bullshyt?

most black people outside of africa have slave names

most black people don't change there name

so asking if they're proud of there slave name is a valid question.

also alot of black people take PRIDE in these slave names.

its not bullshyt question at all its as valid as your insecurity regarding the question.

wow you prove how little you travel more and more you talk

go to indian and its DAMN NEAAAAR impossible to find hordes of indian people with european surnames. i've been to india have you? WHY ARE YOU STILL MENTIONING AMERICA? this isn't specific to america. but yeah, be proud to not travel, be proud to be ignorant and be proud to have the surname given to you by people that raped and murdered your ancestors. How can i be wrong when i didn't state opinion? all i said is I CHANGED MY NAME, so wheres the wrong in that?

Yet black people are all throughout. But your belief applies to black people worldwide...smh.... The more you talk the more you expose your own ignorance. My point is once again names are attributed to places of orgin and geographical location..... Not race.... American surnames were adopted by former slaves because those were the common names for both free and enslaved Americans. The same can be said for pretty much any situation where groups of people are able to choose thier last name. For instance Italian and Jewish immigrants often changed thier names to more familiar American sounding names and pronounciations after arriving to America.

Its less about slavery and more about indoctrination and Western influence.....

I can tell your young and dumb as fukk. For one your stance is an opinion as you cant attribute where any chosen last name originated from. In addition your real heavy on this slavery, rape, and muder tip as if this accounts for every background for black people around the world. Lastly your created fallacy has no solution or purpose. Been there done that. My great great grandfather was a buffalo soldier... My grandmother was a black panther.... My mother is a current member of the NC chapter NAACP.... Thier is pride in my namesake. In my heritage and my lineage......

My first name is European and my middle and last are straight African. But I think the African name is Arabic or straight Liberian :francis:

I used to have an abbreviated last name until I was 10..Williams-Bey.

My maternal great grandmother believed in Moorrish Science...The believers hyphenated their last names w Bey, Ali, or El and some blacks believed(and still do) that we came from the Moors of North West Africa and thus were Moorish by nationality and Islamic by faith. This promoted racial pride and spiritual upliftment and provided African Americans with a sense of identity in the world (Wiki)

When my mom and dad finally got married I became a Hambright :scust:
wassup 'ma you got a boyfriend?:jawalrus:
