I'm not really defending the practice, but if unique names are a way of saying F you to the man, and you can choose a candidate who wasn't so transparently raised by people saying F you to the man and someone who might have been, is it racism alone on which you are basing your decision?

This is an incredibly oblique thought process, and I really can't agree with any of it. In fact, I think it's a bizarre connection to make.
You seriously overrate a parent's influence over child development, as well - turns out, their influence is crushed by the influence of friends, peers, teachers, associates . . . and dumb luck.
Basically, I think you're taking one terrible step too far, and there's no way to justify it.
