Names and the way they shape us

[Gooding]

Of course it's race. My reply is simple, but think about it.Blacks have names that we would consider pretty damned hilarious, usually either pirated off of the French, African tribal names, or flat out invented names.Usually Tyrone Jermaine Ombogo Shabazz Jones would wind up in jail because his society glorifies illegal activity.So, hell yeah, it is race.

I am rather proud of the names I bear
1: Andrew-from Greek Andros, meaning "manly"-my mother's choice
2:Robert-from Old English, meaning "bright fame"-inherited from my father
3:McDonald-from McDonnell-meaning "son of the world ruler"-mother's family
4:Gooding-from Goodwin,meaning "good friend"-father's family
LOL, the names are proud and I'm as proud as the names, but I hope that I'm not too insufferable

Wait until you hear a big ol' black women yelling across the store for her daughter... "Pleasure!" Try holding the laughter back after that one. Poor child.

We had a white girl in high school named Charity. I was a friend of her older brother. The entire family was crazy. But, when people said "Give to Charity", well, there was a lot of giving...to the whole family, if ya know what I mean.
