"endangered Black names"
Fri Mar-28-14 09:31 AM by John Forte

          

I've noticed a LOT of the Black names of my childhood disappearing.

When is the last time you met a new Ebony, Lamont or Leroy? Are they still making Donnells?


And before one of you brand new niggas comes in here tawmbout these being European names, you know what the fuck I'm talking about.
