Ya have any desire to change your last name (Slave name)

[Poitier]

I'm look at this as a black's globally won't always be at the bottom thing.

even more silly since they need reparations too

 

[GoldTeef]

No, it's pointless and I'm not interested in symbolic shyt.

Poitier thinks blacks must be completely worthless if we need reparations globally to advance

You dont't have to LIE to kick it.

I stand firm in whatever I say unlike your backpedaling ass.

What I wrote in the other thread:





In response to this:








Oh so one minute Patois isnt a real language but some how it should be the"Standard" language of Jamaica.... yeah that makes sense.

@IllmaticDelta pree dis

 

[Red Shield]

But anyway.. getting off topic there.


I do plan on changing my last name, but not because it's maybe a slave name.

 

[scarlxrd]

Yeah, not for those reasons though.

Me and my mother been chopping it up about this for a good year , and we're definitely boutta do that . shyt feels crazy dwelling these streets with a name provided to you from slavery , how the fukk the vast majority of nikkas walking around with an European last name smh shyt is evidence that we have damn near zero sense of identity. We haven't come to a conclusion what we want to change it to yet though but we def in the process of doing so . This thought ever come through ya heads before ?

EVEN WORSE, TAKING ON THE RELIGION GIVEN AS SLAVES TO BEHAVE. IN ESSENCE, ALL BROTHERS SHOULD B JEWISH.

Ive thought about it. My fathers biological mom's maiden name is PRIDE. We had a family reunion YEARS ago and come to find out my first African descendent in the states was a slave given the name SIMON PRIDE, my grandfather god knows how many generations back. He married this full blooded indian woman. She was a survivor of a raid on her reservation by the Army. They wiped out the entire reservation but she was an infant at the time. They never found her, hidden away. That shyt is a tril KNOWING your name is a slave name. Unbelievable

fail economics


think black folk can rise from the underclass without reparations

think the 1900s is absolute for the rest of history

Plenty of black folk have risen out of poverty and reached higher social classes from hard work and dedication.

Odds are you won't exceed your parents class though, but that goes for any race.

Individual and collective wealth are not the same.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

I strongly considered it when I was in college because my first name is Muslim and my last name is long and German..... oddly though...my odd name combo actually helps me in my career-- so ill stick with it for now

A lot of times when black people became free they choose these names themselves. Its a common misconception to think these cacs forced these names down their throats.

That why i'm not pressed about it. Its' the number one reason why i think black people need research on their own families and stop believing all these misconception. Your family could've (most likely is) been totally different from the next black mans family.
