Is a white dude going to get pissed seeing a black guy named De'Andre? No. Is a black guy going to get mad if he see's a white guy named Ronald? No. Some of y'all try to make an issue out of nothing. I agree they need to work on it.

Sounds like it hasn't changed much. My favorite is still a toss-up between George Washington and Paul Paul, who in NCAA '11 lead the Irish to consecutive National Championships as their quarterback.

I have absolutely no idea. What could possibly be the ramifications of admitting that certain names are most likely to be given to people of a certain race?

People can present anecdotal evidence, my friends named this or my dads named that, but that doesn't change statistical facts. Anyone can look up baby name statistics in which the top 10 names for white boys and black boys have exactly 0 names in common.
