take a DNA test, see what nation you have highest % of and then research it.
Thing is Last Names in all cultures are not just made up or randomly given, they all were given to describe an early ancestor and define their legacy, but essentially since you want to start from scratch you can be the one to define that future legacy.
My mom has an African name but it would be kinda weird if I changes it to hers I think.
Tons of African names are of Arab, Indian and European origin.
We ain't never getting that shyt fam
depends on the tribe. My name is native to my tribe.
Never thought of that
Its a sticky subject really, at the end of the day having an African name for the hell of it and not understanding the meaning is counter productive. If you look up the meaning of her name and see those characteristics i yourself it wouldn't be a bad idea, but either way the man should make the name, the name shouldn't make the man, it should only set the standard.
I don't believe that Blacks will always be at the bottom.
True but people need to be careful when researching this stuff.
Even then Its still a slippery slope, nobody has the history the black race has on this earth so its not even a simple thing of just picking a name and running with it, especially not understanding the culture associated with it, thats why I never really frowned on AAs "making up" names within reason. People will clown someone for having a "ghetto" name and not a "good" european name, when imo it is a more noble act to see someone wanting to create their own legacy, but the argument about "ghetto names" is they often have no meaning, and were made because they "sounded cool".
I don't either , but the only way cacs are going to give those reparations up is if we take it by force
Its true
