Since she has been discriminated due to her name, does she have a case to receive reparations??

I believe parents should think about a childs future when naming them.

Calling them for example sharkiesha is setting them up for failure :francis:


I have a black name and this is actually a conversation with other brehettes with black names whom I've have alap dated.

Let's just say we've all agreed to giving our potential kids more "traditional" names :mjpls:

I don't know what's worse, the black people dapping her, or dapping being described as an elaborate handshake ritual.

:skip:
Sometimes it is tho ..

If you were an alien visiting earth to study the human species, that description would be on point.. especially when nikkas give dap/shake hands differently in different regions.

:dwillhuh:

This sounds exactly what I imagine the average white person's little voice inside their head to sound like. Almost inhuman, like a alien trying to understand Earthlings.

I hate how mainstream publications get away with talking about black people like this. It sounds like they're describing some tribe on National Geographic.
