Black Man X - Do you take pride in your last name? Serious discussion.

@Gifted one That has to be one of the worst negs I've gotten yet
All I said is that my identity isn't based off of my last name at all so I don't care, I don't even think about it.
And that got you in your feelings?

 

[PlainSight]

I'm neutral on my last names. It's a double-barrel name, one is Welsh, the other is Portuguese. I can't say I hate it or take pride in it. It's just my name

I`m 100% African but I feel y'all pain, what I find funny is when someone says I have an "odd" name, I`m like nah being Black with a European name is whats odd.

THIS
my surname has clicking sounds in it, so you can imagine hearing my name come out of a westerners mouth.
i've been told all my life that my name is strange sounding, especially by europeans!!!

Folks think my last name is french, but it is an indigenous name, but what I do find funny is a looked on Facebook and a ton of people in the Philippines have my last name

My last name is Atkinson , numerous white people have that last name which automatically leads me to believe that it was given by a slave master , I'm not even hesitant to change it because I don't fukk with my pops like that and want no connection to that p*ssy ass nikka anyway

Edit - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ajac/mschickasaw.htm (list of largest slave holders last names)

ATKINSON, J. L., 43 slaves

Fam?

That's my last name.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

Fam?

That's my last name.

Y'all bruvas, mane.

 

[Gifted one]

My last name is English honestly can't stand it, will find a way to trace my roots and pick a last name from my true native land

 

[DMGAINGREEN]

Fam?

That's my last name.

You Jamaican ?
But either way our roots could most likely connect to each other because Atkinson isn't a common last name for black people either way

My father felt the same way so he had me take my mother's last name, along with his.

This thread would resonate more if there were receipts of posters signing up to take history classes at their nearest hbcu.

You make some of the most full-blown STUPID, dunce hat wearing posts on this entire forum.

There is ZERO correlation to what you stated and the topic of this thread.

Just another c00n minded crab in the barrel leech.

Negged.

i don't care what they call me, only what i consider myself to be. i expect to live my life by many different names...

It matters(to me) what they call us because as long as they can call us by the label they branded us with, they will continue to subconsciously see us as their property.

 

[AntiVenom]

You can always change your name if its that shameful for you.

 

[Big Daddy]

I'm changing my name Victor Hwang Jo-yoon

Any particular reason for THAT name? (If you're even serious)
