WTF Martell??

[BBert]

How hard is it to pronounce Webster?

BNM

Now I get it.

The Cop called him Westbrook!

Totally justified, Martell. Totally justified!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

But, for real the only person I have ever refered to as a vegtable was my second grade teacher. She was a very strict older lady and her hair looked like a giant brocoli stalk so we called her Mrs. Brocolihead

My son used to call his first grade teacher Mrs. Ketchup. That's kind of like a vegetable...

According to Reagan it was. Even though its made from among other things tomatoes...a fruit

Hahaha. That reminds me of when the Reagan administration wanted to classify ketchup as a vegetable for school lunch programs

 

[BBert]

According to Reagan it was

Damn, son, you beat me to the draw!

But seriously though...... the guy mispronounces your name so you make some kind of racist slur towards him? That's really kinda fucked up.

My name is Damany.

Phonetically pronounced: Duh-MAW-nee

People fuck my name up all the time and it's a miracle when they pronounce it correctly.

Now, I don't begrudge people for getting it wrong. It's a unique name. But because black folk wanna name their kids:

LaMarcus, LaMichael (really WTF?), and fucking LeGarrette...

No MF my name is not DaMonty.... That said I'm 100% sure his name hasn't been mispronounced more than mine.

So what whites are more privileged because black folk choose some funny ass names??

Get over it. It's not how white privilege works.

Shit Courtney Cox named her kid Co Co. That's a strippers name...

Coco is Ice T's wife's name

Co Co? Yikes. I had an acquaintance years ago who named her daughter Trixie. I thought at the time she had preordained the poor kid to be a stripper. I hope not.

dviss, I apologize in advance I'm probably going to say your name wrong, haha. I'll cop to white phonetic ignorance

 

[BBert]

Coco is Ice T's wife's name

Also, Coco Chanel. She did OK.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Coco is Ice T's wife's name

Ice T married a stripper? To each his own.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Also, Coco Chanel. She did OK.

Amusingly enough, Ice-T and Coco named their daughter Chanel.

 

[BBert]

Their daughter is a stripper?

Not judging.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Well, she's 2. Very common for toddlers. However, I don't approve of the pole in nursery. Over the top, IMO.

 

[dviss1]

Also, Coco Chanel. She did OK.

Meh, she was French. And Coco was her nickname.

 

[dviss1]

Co Co? Yikes. I had an acquaintance years ago who named her daughter Trixie. I thought at the time she had preordained the poor kid to be a stripper. I hope not.

Say it 3x and you'll never get it wrong.

 

[BBert]

Say it 3x and you'll never get it wrong.

Sounds risky. Are you the NEP Betelguese?

 

[Reep]

Martell was probably on Ambien.

 

[H.C.]

Wait I'm confused.
Not one single person no matter their pigmentation has ever pronounced my last name correctly without being told...
I fail to see why Martell is so upset.


Shit there was a white NFL kicker who had his last name mispronounced by his black head coach the entire rookie season.
Give me a break.

 

[BBert]

In seriousness, perhaps the cop was being sarcastic. That profession seems to have a tendency to enjoy needling people who can't talk back.

Call it "Cop Privilege".

 

[handiman]

Ice T married a stripper? To each his own.

Nude model, close enough.

I actually thought she was a porn star...had to look it up.

My sister had some foster kids around the year 2000 or so. Meth head parents. Sweet as all get out. One was about 10, her name was Destiny. The girl was already way behind other kids her age.

I made a joke about Portland's strip clubs being her destiny. Felt awful about it but I was probably right.
