Agree with this statement about Black people?

It never stopped Condoleeza Rice.

good point, but I think that you'ld have to have the sheep skins to offset it, graduated U of Colorado at 18, masters at 19, doctorate by 20 something, ages are approximate, but not far off, brain power like that... who the hell cares what your name is...

As long as their clean it shouldn't be a problem.

I would think that an Arab or Muslim type name would be more of a hinderance to you in the US these days......Although if it were my child...I would go with something more normal or a biblical name...

i've met some black people, they were all well-behaved and fairly coherent.

This is from the book Freakonomics that I'm reading. It analyzes how things you don't think about effect the economy.

Do you think some black parents doom their children's financial/business future by giving them "black" names. Would you have a problem hiring a qualified person named DeJaun or Lakisha as a VP of your company? I think it's a valid point.

No, I don't give a shit if someones name is motherfucker. All that matters is what kind of person they are. Fools think I'm racist because I hate rap music, but I hate the music and not the people. If people act like fools, I don't like their ass, black, white, red or whatever.

if you did name your kid motherfucker think about the ramifications that would have
constant harrassment at school
people laughing every time your name was read off
people in the workplace being shocked
the point is their is social results from names

Yeah, I guess so. I was just giving my personal feelings about the subject. I'd LMAO if someone was named Mother Fucker, especially if they were a good person. Maybe, I"ll change my name.
