I have a bunch of black people on my Facebook and almost all of them have some sort of nickname in their name. Instead of First Last it is First Nickname Last. Now it's not like Jeffrey "Jeff". It's weird stuff that I know no one calls them by just on my list off the top of my head I have Antoine "Status King", Mikey "Enigmatic", and Kevin "KJ21". What's the deal with this? I'm hoping a black person can fill me in because I just noticed this and now it's bugging me. I've also seen some of them sign Facebook posts with their nickname so that might be a thing too? Help plz
they have daddy issues

It's carried down from the days of slavery when African names were stripped from people of color and they were assigned names like Toby and Chicken George.
Honestly tho, I couldn't tell you. Maybe they just miss the Myspace days when you could personalize your profile. Shit, even youtube is stripping ppl of the ability to just show ppl what you want them to see.
Nicknames are a hip-hop culture thing (do you know any rappers who go by their given names?) They actually borrowed it from gang culture (I don't know where he stays at officer, he goes by Rudeboy.) In my "troublemaker" years.. no one called me David. I was Colt to some, Washington to others (DC, get it?) Of course we were all posers. There weren't real gangs in the suburbs.
At this point it just needs to die. You know how we run avy memes into the ground and all collectively decide it's just not amusing after a while? No one has gotten the word out that you look like a damn fool when you put wannabe monikers in your name.
You can just call me Renegade "23 days without pooping my pants" Clock.

Kanye is extremely talented but is a sociopath with the social grace of a used rubber.
I can only assume he has some rare form of autism.
kanye west is literally a big dumb baby

Holy shit, this alone is comedy gold.
I sense kanye is trying to communicate something extremely important but isn't capable of articulating it clearly, like a mad prophet. only instead of being mad, he suffers from the approximate communication skills of the collective insane clown posse.
he keeps making these powerful references that don't make any fucking sense, like Harriet Tubman and the French Revolution. he does that in his lyrics all the time as well. you can tell it had meaning in his head, but it arrives to his audience as a curious and passionate riddle. I think kanye would benefit greatly from taking a few years away from the limelight to study poetry and the classics. maybe a bit of history as well.

Basically this. I heard his radio rant a few days after it aired and initially thought to myself that he was indeed a big dumb baby. Then I tried giving him the BOTD and listened to what he had to say. I eventually got the point he was trying to make but he wasn't saying it in a way that would resonate with any audience. More than likely he was tired and due to his lashing out only seemed to further delude his own point.
Do I think the man has talent? Of course. But I also think he generally has a very poor attitude as well as poor judgement. He also seems to lack any sort of temperamental discipline that you would assume someone as successful as him would possess.

I'm convinced West doesn't actually have anything insightful to say.

And you wonder why our relationship never lasted/why you were always in the doghouse.
I gave you everything and you spit on it.
these kanye west videos are fucking hilarious he is so I'm a edgy teen haha
Bitch, how you ain't a hobbit?
i have to agree, kanye west is a silly big baby, that can't express himslef properly, and he goes on angry tantrums, until someone verbally kicks his ass.
i like his music tho, he is very talented tbh.
also, how come he married kim kardashian? is he insane?
she might be pretty, but soon they will film his everyday life with her 24/7. and he will rage and he will verbally shout crazy things at everyone.
it will happen. mark my words.

Yo BB10, Iââ,¬â,,¢m really happy for youââ,¬Â¦Iââ,¬â,,¢ll let you finish. But when it comes to attention Kanye is a ho.

Stop talking bad about my best friend Ye. This thread is about people with weird Facebook names
I'd also like to point out that bizarre facebook names are not only limited to black people, but lower class white folks. I have such white people on my Facebook named "BayBee Smiley" and "YaBoy Kris."
why are american lower class white people so awful european lower class people are just really tough gritty people

I have seen Big Brother and Jeremy Kyle and can only assume the rest of the European Union has its own lowbrow trash hidden away. The U.K. even has its own Larry the Cable Guy (Al the Pub Landlord? Who are you even kidding, British people.)
To be fair that only speaks ill of the UK, but I agree that there are probably hicks in every country.

I have a question for black people. How do you feel about Sidney Poitier directing Ghost Dad?
[u2]bcR1KG2rVRA[/u2]
I always assumed that movie was Poitier and Cos trolling ppl.
Like Burton with Mars Attacks.
I love Ghost Dad and Mars Attacks. Both solid fucking under appreciated movies.

When we redesign, definitely want to code a page similar to the old CC radio but with video. We can have movie night once a week and watch stuff like these.
that'd be cool if it was during the week except I think most of you guys live in america so I prob couldnt join when its evening for you guys

(sorry for answering this, i just love movies)

again, i agree.
both movies are epic. ghost dad for having bill cosby being awesome, and mars attack for the insane humour.
also: jack nicolson as the prez? epic. tom jones singing in the movie? AGAIN EPIC!!!!!

i would love that.
tho my timezone would make me to miss that.
You can have whatever opinion you want on Tim Burton but you can't hate Mars Attacks. It's perfect.
tim burton does surreal, dark movies, good movies.
and mars attack was also good.
