Dark Femininity Masterclass: exoticals-unit...
OMG my name is Shameka during my elementary years and Middle School I went to a predominantly white school and I was always told how beautiful and unique my name was fast forward to 10th grade my first time going to an all-black School,they would let me know how ghetto my name was (even though most of them had names that rhyme with my name like Tamika shaniqua etc
. my mom said she named me that because it means Lord. My first job I was working at a chicken fast food restaurant the manager asked me what my name was I told her and she said "oh okay so you're going to have an attitude I can already tell because of your name"I could not believe she said that and I was actually really embarrassed. I don't really go by my first name anymore only people that call me that are family members and close friends because of this exact reason smh
Omg that’s a cute and sassy name ! I hope you use it to enhance your feminine/sexy privilege lol! I’m gonna be talking about that soon 💅🏽
I use to dislike my two middle names until a few years ago. They are mine, I was born with them and now I type/ write them out on every document
I’m so sorry, your name is literally beautiful and unique. This makes me so sad, internalized racism isn’t taken seriously enough smh
Sharkeisha is actually 😂 a real name...I'm not kidding. But truth be told, many companies do or at least did until recently; screen resumes for "ethnic " sounding names. 😂😂😂
I have an Indian Goddess name .. I notice how people treat me over the phone … they also treat me better in person and try to get close to me to figure me out .. I have locs, look Dominican, my Aquarius features are obvious…
Interesting. There have been studies done where black sounding names get less callbacks for jobs. There is an association between names and class in America. I think this is more class oriented than race.
Ok, so I have two middle names, one is "blk sounding" and the other "latino sounding", in the south, its was fine, no one said a word about my name. However, here in the northwest, I was made fun of and told to change it if I wanted a high earning job in "wht society". And due to hpw i talk, I constantly get "you don't talk like your name sounds". Ok..... Here's the thing. If WE don't respect our own unique names, then "wht society" won't either. Its cognitive despondency thats get under my skin
yup its 100% cognitive dissonance. if you dislike your own culture, of course other people are going to look down upon it 😂
I cant lie, my mom said if this guy named Phil was dad she woulda named me "Philneisha" 😂😂 that name is outta pocket. Id rather Shaniqua lol
@Free-sl4rc Me too, my middle name is Anique &ppl immediateky be like "thats ghetto" im like well 🤷♀️
omg yes! i remember when I was in elementary school, my parents would always make fun of the girls named “porschia” or “mercedes” as if those aren’t pretty names 🙄
but i realize now that the joke was that those names were “ghetto” bc they were based on cars smh
Omg yes ! I’ve heard both of those names and there was a girl with one of those names who went to my school. Also Latrice, Patrice, etc. those were some of the common names I heard as well
@@ExoticalsUnited yup those are names i hear *a lot*
Oh gosh my first bully was named Shaniqua lmao 😂
Oh no! 😂
Thank you for talking about this. I never thought about this before. 💯💯I always loved the name Ashanti. It's so pretty to me.
Omg yes I’ve met multiple Ashanti’s before !
My name is ambiguous but, but i have a heavy blackscent🤣
Oooh that’s cute ! You can use your blaccent to your advantage ! If I had a blaccent I would probably be a female rapper or something ☠️
❤❤💕💕🥰@@ExoticalsUnited
Absolutely Black people love to make fun of black names. So as an Angolan( central African) my African names were diminished. Zolele means want or desire and people looked down on it. Now I grew up in South Africa and its different there. Any white sounding name is ridiculed. To clown South Africas Queen B ( Bonang Mateba) people on twitter called her by her second name Dorothy.
All in all saying that black names will hold us back or that anything black is holding us back is putting curses on ourselves.
The colossal nerve (nevermind hypocrisy) of some people.
😂😂😂😂😂
My name is very easy for people to remember that they love repeating it but I always forget their name😅
I have a very unique name. I always have to correct people on how to pronounce my name.
The older I get and the more I’m exposed to other groups of people
I have realized that non ambiguous are some of the most prejudice people out there.
It’s a hard truth that no one wants to say out loud
Yup! The main racism and colorism is coming from WITHIN the unambiguous black community ..
@@ExoticalsUnited it’s the truth
I get more mocking of my name from white people vs black. They will ask me how to pronounce my name and then will purposefully pronounce it wrong . I’ve even had yt people asked me what made my parents give me the name or if I’m African . So now I’m gonna go by a shorter nickname . It’s gotten so bad that I marked out my full name on my name tag and put a shorter nickname over it .
Well I sure hope you check those white people for saying your name wrong . I would never let someone purposely mispronounce my name whether they’re black or white .
In school when I was going to a mostly urban black school I had people tell me my name was ghetto because my mom added I in front of “Keirah”. I had people tell me that I wouldn’t get jobs because they’d flip right past my application just because of me name…🤦🏽♀️
That’s a pretty name ! And why TF would I wanna work for someone who dislikes black names anyway? People are really out here trying to impress racists 😂😂
Sadly, there is statistical evidence that resumes are judged on names.
I have a white male friend (he's blunt) said he wouldn't hire me based on my name on my resume. I have always had trouble getting jobs. And my name is a Serbian orgin.
😢
5:03 oh 100%. one night i was getting my hair braided for my graduation at this lady‘s house and her teenage daughter came downstairs and started going off about “the c****s at the beauty supply store”
then proceeded to say something along the lines of “it’s okay bc we know how they treat black people” implying that all of them are racist so she’s justified to call them a slur for no reason, like WHAT???
Right and imagine if I came on here calling UABW names and I said it’s because they act a certain way. This whole channel would be gone
@@ExoticalsUnited exactly 🙄
That's so dumb & ignorant because they are making Asians rich. At least boycott their beauty supply stores since you hate them so much.
nah I have a story 🤣 i will forgot how 2 girls said my whole name was ghetto
I have a European name so l guess im safe? 😂
Lmao every name type has pros and cons ❤️
@GORGEOUSARTIST333 True we are never safe from them!
As long your name isn't French
@GORGEOUSARTIST333 dead giveaway
I was about to name my child quinqua until they made fun of it
2:45 i didn’t realize my name was so basic 😭🩷
😂😂😂 I’m gonna do an episode about how to use your ethnic name to your advantage 💅🏽
@ ExoticalsUnited that episode is going to be fire🔥🔥🔥 My career advisor (he was Mexican) advised me to change my middle names (I have one thats blk sounding and the other latino sounding) or to not use them at all b/c I would get discriminated against. Like I just posted, if we do not respect our own unique names then we will always be at the mercy of wht society
Yessss
First 😊
❤
Are you going to cover the Drake & Kendrick beef?
I haven’t covered it because this isn’t a male centered channel so I don’t usually discuss MLS mens issues . However I hope MLS Men build channels of their own to talk about what is important to them. I’ve seen more MLS Mens channels popping up lately
