Damn. Actually, yes.
And that was just the throwaway joke introducing Makara's page from the models section of OPi8.com. That'll learn me.
Sorry. It's this image makes me wonder. And then I wonder why I wonder. And then I wonder why the boxes around me aren't magically packing themselves.
Guess taking the quiz at Am I Black. . . Or not? isn't going to speed things along.
13: Do you have an African name?
- Yeah, "Jabouti". Ass.
- Of course, it siginifies my freedom from the "slave name" that my white masters gave my ancestors.
- Shut up, nigger.
Nope. Doesn't affect the boxes at all.
Dru has a much more interesting story about her African name.
Go bug her for the sordid version.
I used to work in a warehouse with this guy Gary. Gary had done some time for murder previously, and while he was in, he'd become a Black Muslim (Joined the Nation of Islam? I dunno, stupid cracker reporting here.) "You need people watching your back in prison, man." he told me at the time.
Regardless, I'd just helped him out with something, and he turned to me and told me my name was now Mustafa, because with what (and how) I'd done it, 'd really gotten him out of a jam, and the only way I could have done that is if I was a brother.
The point: While it's not an African name, does that count?
