[i]Do you mispronounce and look down on black names? [/i] I never intentionally mispronounce anyone's name. I try not to look down on anyone's name either.

[i]What would you think of a black man named Mark versus a black man name DeMarcus? [/i]Mark is more familiar to me so I may subconsciously assume that we have more in common. 
[i]
Do you think Mark was raised by a college educated nuclear black family, or was he adopted?[/i] I was assume neither.

[i]Did DeMarcus grow up in subsidized housing never knowing his father?[/i] I would not assume this. 
[i]
My name is Arabic, traditionally used in the black community.  After my freshman year of college  I went by the nickname Nicole and the change was obvious.  I was still a black woman, but so there was a privilege in going by Nicole. [/i]Studies have shown this to be true for a long time now. 
[i]
I had my children, and gave them top 100 Euro-centralist names, believing this was better for them[/i]. Makes sense. 
[i]
My daughter has friend, a white child from an upper middle class family, named Karsynne.  My son has a boy in his class named Wolff. I know so many white kids with names that are absolutely bizarre, completely made up and I want to kick myself for not naming my daughter Iesha.  I thought I could erase a bit of their blackness, and it would help them navigate.[/i]

[i]Seeing my Michael next to a blue eyed, blonde haired little boy named Maverick and I just have to laugh. [/i] Congratulations? You sound judgmental and bitter.  [/quote][/quote]
