I have mixed feelings about this list. I remember the same argument being made years ago that if your name sounds black on your resume it could cost you the job, etc. Like they can't deny you the job during the interview.

I think that if anything this list and the fact that someone needed to compile it highlights that racism still exists in this country. What I gather is that they (the powers that be) don't care if your name is made up or actually has meaning. To them there really isn't a difference between Imani and Tae Kwon Da. If it doesn't sound European then your azz is grass.

We all know that Oprah & Condelezza certainly aren't European sounding names. So that's why I don't lose any sleep over these people and their so called lists.
