Back in the old days, black kids in school had names like John, Robert, Karen, Bill. They didn’t have these strange names then. When did black kids start getting such strange names? And why? Is it supposed to be an expression of African pride, perhaps????????
I've never met a single African named "LaKeisha" or "Da'Quon". I actually worked with a large group of Kenyans at a previous position at a hospital.
They all preferred to be called "Doctor". :-) Darn smart bunch of guys - Usually the docs didn't care about their computer equipment ("just show me how to use it, I don't have time to be bothered with reading the manual") ... but these guys jumped in with both feet.
