Here are a few of the names I see the black kids wearing on their name tags at the supermarket:
LaShonda, LaQueesha, LaWanda, Shamika, Tamika, ShoShanda...oh God, it goes on forever. These kids have enough problems to deal with: gangs, dope, stupids single parents, school. Nothing like a dreadful name to make you a laughing stock in the rest of the world.
I had a child named Tamika in my day camp group. I liked her. She has good parents, and she is probably doing fine in the real world. I also went to school with an Azande. She's a lawyer now. Very nice girl. I bet she grew into a very nice lady, but I haven't seen her since junior high school. She had good parents as well.
