Hurricane ShaniquaApparently, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (Moonbat-TX) is disturbed that hurricanes are not named after black people, and so this is somehow racist. Yeah, that's how we're keeping the blacks down: we don't name massively destructive storms after them. Ha! Back to the plantation with you!
Looking at the 2003 list of names, I suppose that means that Bill Cosby and Danny Glover don't have black enough names. Oh, well, suppose they'll just have to change their names then. There doesn't appear to be a Sheila in the next few years - maybe that's why she's upset?
Please, please, please can we have redistricting now, so that her seat will go away? Please?

Posted by: Fo0L on November 23, 2003 06:14 PMWhy the hell everytime someone wants to use a name that "BLACK" it has to be Shaniqua? Please explain that to me. This name is not the epitome of African American naming culture.

It's a stereotype actually picked up from stupid television shows like Jerry Springer. I generally call Australians Bruce when looking for a representative name, because of Monty Python's "Bruce skit", where everyone is named Bruce (to avoid confusion).
I guess the reason to use Shaniqua is that it's obviously African-American, as opposed to African or European, and is familiar.
I'm African American. I don't know where the "Shaniqua thing" got started. I don't actually know any Shaniquas. It's only on TV Spoofs and the like. It's not a very common African American name at all.
