today my mom was telling me about her black co workers who named his son tanner and that just got me wondering about my name and i stumbled upon this.

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=2470131&page=1

I think its pretty digusting that the bosses or who ever wouldnt call someone back just because they have a name that represents their heritage. I guess that having a name like tanner can give you a hand up in life though but idk

discuss

My boss's name is Thomas Fleming III. He is from Greenwich, CT, went to boarding school and everyone calls him "Tip".

Tell me that isn't the whitest name you can get.

No joke - my sister had a black patient who named their newborn daughter Assholey (pronounced ash-o-lie)

She also had another one who named her newborn twin sons - Orangejello and Lemonjello

NOT LYING - she is a doctor in Chicago

Lemonjello, my mom's a nurse and had a patient with a kid with that name.

It's pronounced like Le-Mon-Ja-Low.

As for most black name. It's easily Tyrone. You never hear of white guys called Tyrone.

As for Black girls names... They are all stripper names.
