Names

WellI already posted this but Ian seemed to think it was racist for some reason. Maybe it was in the wrong forum.

I am talking about race specific names.

I can honestly say I have never met a white person called Tyree, Tyrese or Tyrone .

I have never met a black man named Percy or Gordon or Frank.
I find this intriguing

If you find this racist YOU are the one who has some problems. It is a fact of the world.
There ARE definitely race specific names.

I hardly think someone discussing them should be accused of being racist, that is just stupid.

Can YOU think of any race specific names ?

Percy...Percy Sledge.

And, to further contribute, I recall watching the NBA all star stuff last year, and some fellow who was coming out to present something's name was something like "Ernie" or whatever, who happened to be a black fellow. Charles Barkley commented about his name, and how he didn't think it was possible to be "black with a name like that."

I knew a white girl named Keisha. I didn't realize that her name was considered a 'black' name until I went to college. shrug

wow everyone staying true to this fucked up attitude of the org.

instead of actually answering the question - just act like a bunch of pricks

yep thats the way it is here on the org.

I was asking of you could think of any race specific names.
but instead picking apart my words is more important to you.

obviously you lot are incapable of any intelligent discussions

and you should all increase your comprehension skills.

I didnt say there were no black guys called those names
I simply said I never met them,
Since I have met less than 10 black people in my life I dont find that a huge surprise.

No black people named Percy, huh? In additional to Percy Sledge there's also Percy Miller. Better known as Master P.
My daddy's name is Percy and I'm Percy Jr.

In addition. The black man on Sesame St. was named Gordon. He was my favorite character.

If I'm not mistaken, Flash Gordon was black too.

What do want us to say, SAMBO?? It was much funnier trying to find black guys that have 'so called' white and vice versa


anyone know of a black Gordon? Gordan from Sesame Street

or a white guy named Tyrone? I played little league baseball with a white guy named Tyrone Mendenhall.


Your way starts some bad shit and was probably the reason it was removed. Just go with the flow. Can't we all just get along

Foist of all, learn how to use the quote function correctly...lol

Secondly, you implied that "Percy or Gordon or Frank" were race-related names...(we proved that implication to be folly...that it only showed your sheltered existence so far in life...and you never thanked us for doing so!...)

Thoid...how can you find your own opinions "intriguing"??...("I have never met a black man named Percy or Gordon or Frank.I find this intriguing")

lol But your "life experiences" aren't the end-all, be-all of how life is..."Correcting" you is merely pointing out that perhaps your lack of experience with diverse encounters is to blame.

no it seems like you can't grasp the concept that there ARE race specific names.
