How Do You Feel Having a Slave Masters Last Name?

[InfinateOpulance]

I have a very Cajun last name that's distinct to Louisiana. I figure it may help me trick one of these old racist b*stards round here into getting a job someday thinking their getting somebody else

The 20 Most Common Cajun Last Names In Louisiana

Beaudreaux, Fontentot, Malveaux, Thibideaux...that's all off the top of my head without looking at that list! Lol

Just looked at the list...how could i forget Broussard?? lol

My parents changed their names to an African one after I was born. I never had a slave name
I was the first in the family to actually be born with the name

Whats your last name?

 

[InfinateOpulance]

My last name is unique as well. Before ever laying eyes on me people assume I'm a particular race and I'm not.

I dont think of myself as carrying a slave name and I've never been a slave although I'm a descendant of slaves.

At this point in my life i feel no need to change my last name, but i have a deep respect and understanding as to why any black person would want to do this. And i would definitely be down to do the same if i ever felt the need to do it.

After emancipation many freed slaves renamed themselves and ditched their former masters surname.

I got my dna results too and i have a small percentage of Nigerian in me as well. My dna reports mostly Cameroon and Benin/Toga. Then Mali and a "hunter, gatherer, nomadic" type of tribe.

Atm I use Shabazz instead of my govt. surname
