Sorry but if they went back to their African names after being emancipated we probably would be having this discussion. No---they waited until militancy raised its ugly head in the country. Waited until it was firmly planted in their heads that whites and america is and will always be racist and they decided to distance themselves from middle american. By the way, have you not noticed that the vast majority of successful middle class blacks are named Tom, Dick and Harry. How is that name change crap working out?
In addition----This country did not invent slavery----This country ended slavery. Instead of continually attacking it for the past it should be praised for sacrificing so many good men for the cause.
Totally disagree, they are free spirits and can name people what they want and you are interpreting as racial, let people express themselves. As far as slavery, it is in the past, we can’t change it, we can’t do anything but accept it is a dark part of American history that happened 150 years ago, time to move on.
I do agree that we all should leave the history of slavery in the past. Instead of preaching to me how about you tell the slavery whiners to move on. instead of continually using it as an excuse for their own failures. "I want my reparations".
