Re: So if I were to follow your above statements
LOL No. All I'd ask is that if you recognize an African-American name, you decline to comment. If you make an honest mistake because you didn't recognize a name as such, well, we all make mistakes. I'd just hope that if that happened and you'd made a negative comment and if all this whole can of worms were opened up again (but I'm not planning to open it), that you'd just say, "Oh I didn't recognize it as an African-American name" and leave it at that.
