The Name Game--"Who's Sane"?
3/9/2008 12:32:00 AM
Barack Hussein Obama is a name that comes from a man called his father who didn't have to listen to anyone except himself when it came to naming his child whatever the neck he wanted.
There are people in America who are still trying to use fear of name-calling.
Barack Hussein Obama is a name that comes from a man called his father who didn't have to listen to anyone except himself when it came to naming his child whatever the neck he wanted.
If you think of it, what would people think if Larry the Cable Guy decided to go into politics, and made sense? Redneck is a term Larry the Cable guy's detractors would use. They would make fun of him in redneck cartoons as to how they think he would act like an idiot in the White House. That assumption would be wrong.
In the Richmond Indiana area there is a businessman named Tom Raper. Because the first four letters of his name spell "rape" does that mean he can't be trusted around women or little girls?
In Muncie Indiana there is a man who has an auto business. His last name is Stoops. If he wasn't bright in a particular subject, would it be right for people to call him Stupid Stoops?
And what about the movie "Meet the Parents" when Ben Stiller played a male nurse named --and this is the worst-- Gaylord Focker, i.e. "Gay Focker" ---?
And if we want to get biblibcal about prejudice, look in Acts Chapter 8, where a Jewish Apostle offers the gospel to a man who was African and Jewish. The apostle Peter baptizes an Ethiopian political official. Also there was a non-Jewish man who was wealthy named "Cornelius" who was a good man, but he wasn't Jewish. And Peter had to be given a dream not once, not twice, but three times that this man and his family were just as deserving of God's love as his Jewish associates.
Americans who believe hate speech because of a name are just as narrow minded and blind as people who spew things like "terrorists will jump for joy" if a man named "Hussein" becomes part of American History.
What ever happened to the meaning of "Unconditional Love?" Racism and Name-ism creates division. If a man or woman is judged by their name, then let's start naming everyone John and Jane Doe.
Oh, don't name your babies Jenna...it's Islamic and means "Heaven"
Don't name them Maya either...it's Islamic for "Princess"
And for goodness sake don't name your baby boy's Jesus if you are hispanic. Someone might build a church on your front lawn and celebrate your baby's birthday with a little fat white dude named Santa bringing him gifts every Dec. 25th.
And hey, here's a word for anyone named "Stephen, as in Representative Stephen King of Iowa:
Stephen
The name Stephen is a baby boy name. The name Stephen comes from the English origin. In English The meaning of the name Stephen is: From the Greek Stephanos, meaning crown/wreath. In the Christian Bible Stephen was the first martyr.
Plus, how many people do we all know who used the name "King" to name their dog? Sounds like somebody's trying to run and fetch a lot of confusion to further divide this country with his toothless political barking.
But yea hark and forsooth! There are a lot of streets in the nation named after a man who was treated WORSE than a dog whose only purpose was teaching us "judge not" but the color of our skin (or the sounding of our names) but by the content of our CHARACTER!)
