Get this - Hurricane names are now anti-black
« on: September 12, 2011, 06:14:03 PM »
Just when you think you have heard all of the stupid things that are going on in the U.S. -- this comes along...

Black hurricanes....

Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be the Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.

She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!

She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand.

I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says...

Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a rocket!
Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE shit.

Coach!? This sounds like another one of your silly, fake, rabbit holes. Any independent confirmation?

This is actually somewhat true... The woman in question did this back in 2003.

Nothing has changed since though.

if she really loves her black culture, I think the best way fro her to be involved in her culture is to ship her ans her monkey clan back to Africa jungle, where they came from!!!

no wonder our country is ruined when we have those animals sitting in the government

Why are you using snopes to validate? Snopes is just a husband and wife team with biased opinions. Just because they said so doesn't mean jack shit. Wow, I have to laugh at the stupidity of Americans every time they quote snopes.

You have some better reference?

You ever notice at the bottom how they actually have "sources".

That's a pretty good sign.

Let me guess, you've got all of this shit in an encyclopedia under your desk? You don't quote Wikipedia either do you?

Snopes has a long record of thoroughly researching their responses to rumor and urban legend. And on the occasions that they get it wrong, they publish corrected information AND keep the incorrect information in the interest of full disclosure.

The bottom line is that they research facts completely AND own up to their mistakes.

Chris, Michael, or William are not black names. Black names are:

Madeba, Shaka, Tabo, etc. And actually blacks did not have an alphabet (maybe a primitive form but most certainly not the one they are using now). So really any written name is not theirs. It is European by nature. They may as well quit bitching and be glad they have an alphabet and written language.

Why do blacks bitch so much? It is really beta behavior. The need to stop supplicating all the time.

We just need that turd, Benny Blanco to come in, post a copy and paste article from an "alternative blog", and end it with a 3 year old "Fail" picture. Then the thread will be complete.

exactly, Isaac Hayes, Chris Webber, Chris Brown, Rafael Saddiq (I think it's spelled Raphael), the lady from the Jefferson's name was Florence, Patty Labelle, Lisa Leslie, Tony Parker, and I've known a black male with every masculine name that was listed...


What she is talking about is the "new" names that begun in the late 60s. This was done to signify an identity amongst black folk---sometimes I just see it as a way of just making up names...although, every Tameka, or Lakeisha that I have seen has been fine as frog's hair.

No, those are African names. There is a diff---between American black, and African...

Hell, one of the main reasons why WEB Dubois argued that we couldn't go back to Africa is because Am Blacks are too culturally and ethnically removed from Africans---we know not which ethnic background we
can from, and many times we are a mixture of backgrounds and race. WEB himself was a mulatto (thus raising the ire of Mr Back to Africa---who probably had more preserved cultural ties, from Jamaica to West Africa).
