Why is it ok for other minorities to have their culture bearing names but not black people?

Pointed this out to woman the other day. Indian woman, CEO named Monisha and the name is said to be pretty. Black show name Moesha and same person asking why black people have ghetto sounding names.

But they can be named : Chett, Apple, Barrett, Webber, etc

Apple is the only weird name i see up there that i think gets the side eye.

Tranquilisha, charquisah getting side eyed also. Names made up by teen single moms or young black ignorant parents arent black names to me.

This seems like a case of "we as blacks need to accept everything black (good or bad) just cause we are black.

Your statements just proved that no matter what African Americans do; it is going to be mocked and ridiculed by people who think that are just plain old better than African Americans. Black people eat chicken. It is ridiculed. Black people eat watermelon. It is ridiculed. Black people name their children names like Denzell, Oprah or Shaquille. It is ridiculed.

Were Black people breaking the law or bothering anybody when doing any of those activities? No. However, whatever Black people do; it is ridiculed.

And if African Americans are at the bottom of some totem pole image-wise; then why are so many people, including White ones, always emulating Black Americans culturally?

Post of the day!
