Wink What about people named after drugs

How is then, that one of the most popular White House news correspondence reporters is named COKIE Roberts.

Granted, that is not her birth name (her full name comprises of SIX different names), but how can you be the daughter of two prominent Congresspeople and have a "stage name" after a freaking drug??!! When I first heard that name, I was like, What the Heck? I thought she was Tony Montana's long-lost daugher, or something like that.

On another note, I have noticed that quite a few so-called Black names are being adopted by White girls, so knowing a race based on the name will probably fade before too long.

I went to high school with a white Jerishia, and afterwards knew a white Tanisha and Keisha. Go figure.
