street cred or street stain
What happened to blacks named John or Jake or Emmanuel? Now, it seems they get points for most unique names.
I smoked Kools for 30 years. Best smoke in the world.
My black friends never could get over it.
It’s imperative that they name them with those kinds of names to indicate that they are ‘down wit da struggle.’
No, aspiring Rapists..and Thugs!!
Watched the whole video. All but one of the suspects is from Columbia, presumably Columbia, Missouri. Reporter asked him if gangs were moving into the area.
This is excellent reporting, btw.
I think they get the names from playing Scrabble.
Truthfully, most Africans use names like John or Steve.. not these names.

It's the mothers who think them up. Since there aren't any fathers around usually...it has to be the mothers at time of birth.
My wife works at the local hospital. The best one yet she has seen is...wait for it....
"La-a"
That is pronounced "Ladasha".
Not lying.
I’ve lived in many countries around the world. The ONLY group of people who name their children made up names are “African” Americans.
Even the real Africans I work with mock & laugh at them.
Them be white devil names.
My name is Sue, how do you do? Now you're gonna die!

Just gonna take a wild guess here but..Amish? Italian? Swedish??
Best menthol I ever tasted was Lucky Strike menthols.
That was about a million years ago.
I haven’t smoked in 18 years now and am allergic to menthol (at least the kind that is in some sports rubs, I assume I’m allergic to the smoked kind as well.)
La-a.
Now that is a true ebonic work o fart.
