Should black have names that are more likely to belong to a white person?
A new study of race in Uber found the company's drivers in Boston canceled pickups of riders with African-American sounding names at double the rate of those with names more likely to belong to a white person.
Absolutley.

Every successful white person knows to name their kids strategically according to their hopes and goals and grooming of their child to adulthood. When we all birth our children we have to live beyond the moment and realize these are future adults. So most white people who have some understanding of the world will choose a nice name they like, maybe even with a meaning. But still neutral with preconcieved ideas. Like not naming their daughters Bambie or Bunny. If you want to make an aggressive statement, your childs first name is not the place to do that. Its selfish first of all. And its limiting, and its confrontational or it it carries other negative feelings. If you must make a statememt make it a middle name or a pet name for when at home. But leave their names alone so no opportunities will be missed for you to complain about. Would you rather a wide open door or one you have to kick open. Attitude is a choice, let your kids have open doors. Side: Absolutley.
