Wow, you're really on a soapbox about this.
It's okay, Darnell, we won't tell anyone you grew up in the hood!
Oh please. That is hardly a soap box. You probably think it's okay. I don't. Big deal.
I grew up in a working class neighborhood with whites, blacks, and Hispanics. No apartment buildings. Most of them owned their own homes (including us). But that has nothing to do with this name issue.
