    Funny Names?

    I am not raciest, but why is it that some athletes have some F-up names.

    Whats wrong with normal names?

    Kyrie
    DeVante
    Marreese
    DeJuan
    JaMychal
    Dahntay
    DeAndre
    Rasual
    JeRon
    Quayshawne
    Kwon
    Lavonte

    There is a fascinating chapter on this subject in one of the two freakonomics books.

    It has a lot to do with oppression if I remember correctly.

    Those are names from the native land.

    Normal names were their slave names.

    Like Toby.

    For the record, if a parent names their child Precious or Diamond is it really society's fault for failing them? Mom and Dad screwed them long before their kindergarten teacher took attendance for the first time.
