Re: These names are getting out of hand...

Which names are we referring to, exactly? The names of professional athletes?

I mean, if my father were to say something like that, I'd know exactly what he was referring to, but I hope that's not what you mean.

I don't know why there's confusion here. The guy's name is Yourhighness.

Re: These names are getting out of hand...

Which is a stupid name. But what is the "these" referring to?

[DakAttack]

Re: These names are getting out of hand...

I dunno. Stereotypical black folk with crazy names?

Re: These names are getting out of hand...

Isn't that being a little racist?

Re: These names are getting out of hand...

That's why he said stereotypical...

That was my point.

Re: These names are getting out of hand...

Just because you use "sterotypical" dosn't mean it's not racist.

What's racist about it?

These names are getting out of hand...

And I think Mythos explained it the best:

I mean, if my father were to say something like that, I'd know exactly what he was referring to, but I hope that's not what you mean.

Edit: Yes, his name _is funny_ but the comments and the way it's presented is racist.

Right, I'll go apologize to Al Sharpton.

Not.

Nothing here is racist. I use the word stereotypical so as to specifically state that I'm referring to a stereotype. If I were being racist I'd say something like all black people have crazy names, I hate them, and I think they should die. But that's not what I'm saying.

There are stereotypes for every race, every nation, every kind of person, but once it's a black stereotype. Oh no, it must racist!

But in my opinion I think the original poster was talking about all these weird names lately. Especially those that celebrities are giving their kids these days. Not very original and quite stupid to see.

I have a relative named Zion ... I still don't understand that sort of name.

Yes, there are, but the way it's directly referenced is racist. If he said it was any other type as well, I would still say it's racist, it dosn't matter.

There are better way's to present this, other then what's been said already.
