Re: "african american"
Agreed. Many of these names were invented at the end of the Civil Rights era and during the Black Power movement of the 1970's, when many black Americans felt that the names they had were too connected with white people and were inspired to create new names for their children.People of all races and ethnicities make up names, and some cultures have specific traditions and/or noticeable trends._______________________________Le Ding!
