Ghetto Black Names?



So this post is about how "Black People" are being portrayed in the YouTube video, "Top 60 Ghetto Black Names". The video is just 2 guys saying random, made up "ghetto" black names. They name 60 names and it just emphasizes all different kinds of names that black people use for names. Some names the boys made up just for fun, but this makes black people look bad because of some of the names they use. There are names such as, Fri'Chickenisha that doesn't even exist, but they probably put it in the video to make fun of black people because there are stereotypes about them that they supposedly eat fried chicken which is not true. This video was created by 2 obviously ignorant teenagers that wanted to make fun of black people names. The two boy's names were Andrew and Isaac, Andrew first came up with the idea of creating this video and randomly in class he started jotting down names and passed it to people around the class to add more names and then when he went home he asked Isaac to do the video. Isaac was a bit skeptical, but they still did the video and it was meant to be a parody and something funny for people to laugh about. Although it's suppose to be funny it can also be offensive. Black people may receive this video as an offense even though it's suppose to be funny because I mean it is making fun of their culture. I know these boys didn't mean it in a bad way, but either way it can be very disrespectful to people, it just depends how people take the video.
Here is the link to the video:

  1. I think this isn't right. Not just for black people but for any race. Like why do people want to make fun of others if they would get mad if it was about their own race. Just not right. SMH!!!
