It’s what I call alphabet soup names. Their mamas looked into their soup spoons for names. Seems to be a theme to those names, so much so we don’t need to look at pictures. I’m betting the unnamed 16 yo isn’t named David, Jeff, Mark or Greg.

[UCANSEE2]

I doubt you would find those names in a Zimbabwe phone book.

There was a thread on FR within the past year that even Africans laugh at US blacks’ names.

[UCANSEE2]

Pretend African names are an American invention.

And come from the TV Mini-series ROOTS, and the movie THE COLOR PURPLE, and the names of some of the black actors.

Pretty oddball names by American standards if you ask me.

A department news release on the arrests said all six suspects live in Columbia.

Columbia? I live in Central Mo. This is gang/drug related.

Knock it off, Chris. My twin brother be named Tavion. Of course, he be my evil twin, but you see what I'm saying.

Rasheem, D'Angelo, Lashone, Antonio, all with the middle initial "R?" The 16 year-old hasn't been named yet, literally. Waitin' on a cool name to get freed up.

The ghetto name thing is starting to sound like that old old joke that ends,

"Why do you ask, Defecating Buffalo?"

Tavion...D’Angelo, Rasheem & Lashone? ‘nuff said.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Hey, what you talkin' about?

Them Zimbabwe baby-handles be a vast improvement, + they are like ... well you know ....like for real.

Just call me Chamukomo, Mo for short?

How does this incident rate posting on Free Republic. I live here in Jefferson City and I can tell you this event was nothing more than a curiosity to the locals.

[goldstategop]

Black on black murders aren’t newsworthy.

No one cares about it except for the victims. The black establishment is firmly pro-criminal.

Don’t expect America’s urban wastelands to become civilized anytime soon.

If that Keye and Peele bit was done with two women it would have ended up as two spoons, a box of corn starch a bag of Jay’s Potato Chips and a pair of two liter bottles of Pepsi-Cola.

[Cuttnhorse]

The ONLY group of people who name their children made up names are “African” Americans.

I worked two years in Tanzania and spent a lot of time in Kenya and just returned from 3-weeks in Namibia. No one names their kids in Africa the stupid names ours do.

“Why do you ask, Defecating Buffalo?”

I heard that punchline as “Two dogs f&%#ing”...

[kearnyirish2]

Because they’d be expected to get a job with a name like Bob, Joe, or Sue; with “Lashone”, they’re not even expected to be literate.
