[HabitualChiller]

today I was looking through my instant messenger at eork and I noticed most of the Mc--- whatevers are black. Including myself.








I wouldn't mind changing my last name but as a woman I plan to take my husbands name anyway so it would be a waste of time.

A lot of blacks have their own last names but are told they are so called "slave master" names so to reinforce the slave narrative

There were blacks in Europe who came here before any modern cac did. A lot of the welsh/Irish names that blacks have descend from them

My Dad is an Ewe and my last name is from Ghana. Very unique. Everyone with it Im immediately related to. The Ewe people acknowledge and feel guilty in their participation in the slave trade to the extent that they have made the acestors of slaves to be dieties as well.

I understand why some would want to change their name to an African one once they find out their results. I also, dont think AAs should be ashamed of being descendent of slaves. The fact that you exist despite all the slaves that died by violence and sickness, etc and for your line to have survived to make you is something truly amazing.

I think about how strong my ancestors were who survived long enough to gain freedom. I truly can't imagine living through that hell.

how many white dudes you know named Freeman

Also, most Washington's and Jeffersons are black. They named themselves after the presidents.

I find it odd Haitians kept the French themed names after they handed France their ass during the revolution.

I'm changing my name bit it won't be African because I'm too distant from their culture.

We are our own tribe now! It's impossible to know with great accuracy our history so it's pointless to possibly erroneously imitate what we don't know.

I will create my name which will be African and African American influenced. Unique because black Americans are unique.

This is an intriguing idea. Noted.

Use "white" websites to free yourself from white ancestry brehs........

You use the white mans language to communicate...do you even speak any other languages ?

Got a common Scottish surname, like many Jamaicans.

If I were to change it, I'd have my middle name as my surname.

eh, saying we probably have the same last name eh.

My last name is Benson and I'm currently looking at African names to change it. But 1st I'm going to submit an Ancestry.com application to see where my line mostly derived from.

We really walking round outchea with last names that don't belong to us. I read a long time ago that freed slaves would often change their last names to colors like Black, Blue, etc to remove themselves from the heritage of their previous slave owners.

Remember, slave owners wold completely strip slaves of their identity but now we can use the technology to trace back our heritage. We should take advantage of this. If you don't know where you came from, you have no future; you will always be living a lie.

Purify yourselves from the stains of slavery. This country is already full of constant reminders of it's demonic past. Let us not carry around the burden in our own names.
