Interesting post. That reminds me of something I’ve been wondering about. The names “Washington” and “Lincoln”.

These days it seems that most people with the name Washington are black Americans. Are there any white Washingtons left in the country? Just wondering if they may have been related biologically to George Washington in some distant way. I dont think he had children.

Lincoln is another name that you don’t see these days

I saw one grifter (white) who was capitalizing on his Washington surname when I was working at the Federal District Court in upstate NY. I can't remember all the details of the case though.
