To all black people

 I got this e-mail today and thought I'd share.

MEMORANDUM

 

TO:             ALL BLACK PEOPLE

FROM:       YOU KNOW!!  

RE:             NAMING YOUR CHILDREN

DATE:        EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

 

Please DO NOT start naming your children after the
President…Obamanesha, Obamalaya, Obamaria, Obahmah, Obamaletta, Obamaquisha, Obamanetta Obamaniqua
Barakesha, Barakyah, Barakquita etc.  Don't start that mess! PLEASE!!

 

YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED THE MEMO AND HAVE BEEN
WARNED!

iono...that Obamaquisha sounds like the new joint  too bad my tubes are tied...lol

Dayum...so that means I have to change lil Quadayshalabomnoniquqa Barakiquita Obamanetta's name??????  That ain't right. 


lol

I totally understand. Today I was thinking of why people name their kids stuff that just isnt right. I come in contact with children everyday as part of my job, today's name that made me cringe when i read it "Annoreah" What comes to mind?

Last week, another child "Kleshay." I mean do ppl not think their kids will have to grow up and get a job one day? another recent one is S'emaj (Sa-mah-jay), its "james" spelled backwards. I mean creative at first, but she's not even with him anymore, now her son is stuck with this weird ass name for the rest of his life. I have even had clients go and get their social security card b/c they dont remember how to spell their kids names. This is just rude. I mean I barely made it being an 80's baby named "NaKeisha." My mother was really pushing it.

Thank God I will never know what companies turned down my resume on spot due to my name when I graduated from college, but it is always a question in the back of my mind.

Parents: name your kids something they can get a career or at least a Job with. Something that maybe they will have to guess what his/her race is and they dont get thrown off without a chance.

I love it! That was funny!

Prayin' for you........
Love ya

Dang LOL I kinda like Obamanesha! But it sounds like abomination so maybe not LOL!

This memo need to go out on Nov 3 though... did you see in Essence, a woman gave birth on 11/4 and named her child Barack? Yup...

We have this tendency to take things and not even take it to the next level....we go way out into other universes and the next dimensions...i.e. Obamanesha - and, yeah, it does sound like abomination.  BUT....Barack is, in fact, a real name.  It is actually biblical.  I am not saying I subscribe to - or don't subscribe to - someone naming their child Barack.  But, in that regard, at least it would be a real word, real name, and a name that the child could hold their head somewhat high to - as they were named after someone worth being proud of.  Obama is a surname, not a first name - but you know we don't care about stuff like that.

I used to work at the department of social services...and the names that came across my desk were atrocious!  There was a woman who pronounced her daughters' names: si-faah-lis and gah-nohr-ah.  She spelled them: syphillis and gonorrhea.  I wonder what the hell was she thinking.  Another girl was named FEMALE, pronounced it fe-mal-ee, rhymed with tamale.  And the final one was a boy named Pencilhead.  WTF is wrong with the colored folk?!!!!!

The worst name I have ever heard froma social worker friend: Syhthead

Yes you read correctly: Syht head

Now you didn't say we couldn't use his middle name: Hussienique, LaHussienique, Hussinetta...

You gotta add all of it in the memo to count....LOL
