Could it be the overdoing of salt, butter, flour and sugar🥶

I was born in the 60s, so I grew up when the term was Black, and it was a term Black people selected for ourselves. The term "African-American" came about as a way to link ourselves to Africa, just as Italians, Polish, Mexicans ect. do for their ancestral homelands. However, Africans were enslaved, and inevitably mixed with other races and cultures. Also, it has been a couple of centuries since American slavery that most of us do not share a direct lineage to Africa, so I cannot call myself "African-American". And, truth be told, many Africans do not consider American Blacks as their own for similar reasons. So, for me, "Black" it is.

It's ok to attend a PWI. You'll never know or understand the HBCU experience. You'll likely never have a chance to be around that abundance of black excellence again. After graduation, all you're going to be around are white coworkers in most career fields. If you have a shot at Havard, go there for sure though.

I was the personal chef of an African billionaire a couple years ago who was building literal Wakanda in Africa, sooooo, yeah. Take heart, folks.

I am a heterosexual woman but I had some kind of love at first sight when I saw Azie. It's like when you were 7 and you see some other kid and run up to them, knowing you're going to be instant friends. Usually that's mutual, but you know what I mean.

My mother-in-law was a devout Catholic, so my siblings and I are named after saints.

Black is a color 🤣😂 not an ethnicity

You know that Islam was used to justify enslaving Africans also. So, in light of that, wanting to renounce all connection to white people for their role in slavery, but not Arabs for the same, just goes to show that your antiwhitism is in no way logical or consistent.

First you say "black names" with scare quotes, then you admit that there are black naming conventions like three sentences later. You also attack white people for denying that the notice when it's only your antiwhite hounding of them for daring to notice that makes anyone deny it in the first place.

Why ask white people and others where they're from

Huh? What about WEAA, the radio station at Morgan State in Baltimore?

Personally , I be like “I’m of African Descent” lol

Black is a colour. Some races do not like being described using colour e.g. Asians dont like "yellow"😢. Most people describe themselves using geographical indicators and ethnical affiliation. Most so called white Americans know exactly which part of Europe they origibatw from. Africans dont describe themselves as black Africans, but as Congolese, Nigeririan; or better still Luo, Igbo, Dinka etc

Talks about Saami peoples - shows examples of two saami nations that haven't had contact with finland for two milennia XD

Shout out to Evelyn, from an almost 60 yr old Evelyn. 😄

Terrel Owens. Aptly named. He still thinks he can play 😂

The judging of names for being made up is dumb because all names had to be made up at some point and it's weird to go "OKAY no more making up names, you can only used the APPROVED LIST!!" That said I am going to judge a made up name if it's just objectively bad like Reighfyl (pronounced rifle), KVIIIlyn (pronounced Kaitlin), and I saw a reddit post about a mom who named her kid after a concentration camp because she thought it sounded pretty.

Illiteracy, got it.

Wait. Do some people hear Natasha and think it's a black name?

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you!

Whats the origin of De'Coldest Crawford?

Great video! Wondering about one thing though, why did you say Hebrew and Greek names weren’t white? Aren’t Greek and Jewish people white?

This was entertaining and informative. Thanks for sharing!

Hi! Nice subject! "Tyrese" maybe come from the french name "Thérèse" (for example, the famous "Thérèse de Lisieux" born Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin)

i just say FBA

I thought the French addition was due to African Diaspora affinity with France. There was a good relationship around that time. Some African Diaspora in the US moving to France. A lot of it was around jazz

I wish you guys could have addressed the concept of "government names" among the black community and how going by your nickname became a thing. Its something ive always wanted to be educated on.

My name is Luqman (Look-Maan) with Arabic or Indian origins? Was a name of a wise man in Islamic history, but I’ve only seen Indians with this name. This video was amazing, thank you for making it

Y’all are the best hosts/educators! I learned so much, thank you!

NO! What they don’t tell ppl is that everyone is together! 🤣🤣🤣🤣That’s why NO💯percent for NO ONE ☝🏾! We ARE ALL CONNECTED!!!

dejames demarcus Demetrius the 3rd jr

8:35 again the messed up arabic script 😅

Evelyn is hilarious XD <3 <3 <3

Natasha is a black sounding name? I guess you can blame the black widow?

Let me educate you on how French names got into the lexicon: A lot of French-originated men were having sec with their slaves and naming and educating many of those children.

None of this information is correct. Let's start with black invention myth #1... The traffic light. No. A black male did not invent the traffic light. A white man named Lester Wire invented the 2-color light in 1912. 8 years later in 1920, a white man named William Potts invented the 4-way, 3-color traffic light that you see on streets throughout the world. How did this black invention myth begin? Well in 1923, a black male named Garret Morgan received a patent for a NON-electric, semaphore cross, HAND-crancked "traffic signal." It had no lights. It had a buzzer. Only 3 of them were built...because it was worthless. No, it was not an early version of the modern 4-way, 3-color traffic signal because William Potts (a white man) invented the actual traffic light 3 years PRIOR. Now I will be accused of racism and my comment will be deleted by the moderator or RUclips.

My name is on the creative side My mother wanted to name me after a girl named Zaria from a black sitcom show "The Parenthood". My Dad wanted our names to have the same beginning sound so they compromised and my name was born (Ka-Zar-e-ah)

U 2 girls are from Africa and that's the way the story goes

Fri'Chickenisha

Being present when a man told his father the results of the ancestry test he took was a moment i'll never forget.

Another Evelyn over 60 (or 80) could be a man in Britain!

8:35 the Arabic text here is spelled backwards.

funny thing is both of the women in the video are not Black Americans and Black Migration within the United States is not the same as immigrating this is a terrible take how insulting.

funny thing is both of the women in the video are not Black Americans they are AFRICANS imagine having a Japanese woman talking about Chinese names.

Why are two Africans commenting on this?

My abuelo's mother would be considered Griffe or aka mulatta.

not me white girl named moriah

Working at the pyramid 😭

I love how my name is Heaven but spelt incorrectly 😂 love you mom

I’m Black and I’m American. I don’t need to explain this esp when some ppl already identify as a horse
