Absolutely.  If I find anything on her that shows how idiotic she is you bet I am going to post it.

Coming from you jamusta, thats a compliment.  

Now go crawl back under your rock and whine to the Rainbow Coalition who I am sure are down there with you.

Yes it would be a great topic of discussion if people would discuss her or the topic she represents. But instead people start gettin on black peoples names and "how funny they are"...

bodhi wtf are you talking about... I got an idea why dont you come make me crawl back under my rock... and for the record I give a damn about the rainbow coalition...

Ummm..yeah some are funny.  But you missed the humor in "Hurricane Latifah" obviously.  I mean, if the black population is that concerned about naming a hugely distructive force after them I am sure the KKK would back them up 110%.  Either way there are more things in Ms. Lee's district that need more attention than any name of a friggin' hurricane.  Besides, there's nothing funnier than German names if you think about it.

Personnaly i dont care what they name them... I think she is stupid to make an issue out of it. I think i dont find some of them funny because certain members of this community are not trying to be funny. There is a difference between being comical and using humor to attack... The latifah one was pretty good but it would be Hurrican Queen Latifah... I found the buckwheat one funnier. A hurrican in the shape of a messed up afro...haha

if it's that big of a deal they can give them all 'black names'  hell they can give them japanese names for all I care.

damn, now I got the chorus from damn 80's song stuck in my head.

"too much time on my hands
too much time on my hands
and it's slipping away with my sanity"



or something like that

God forbid if an "African-American" Hurricane ever hit the U.S. Any damage reported by the media would be accused of being racially biased. Please, somebody shoot me.

well... ya gotta admit... A lot of black peoples names are pretty funny... especially since most of em are like 5th or sixth generation Americans..

I will admit some of the names are pretty stupid. I have a problem of black folks naming their kids after cars and drinks and stupis watermelon like that. I believe it to be ignorant. I feel if they want to be exotic atleast get one that has meaning. I use to have a problem with my name until I learned the meaning..

Ajamu pronounced ah-jah-moo "he fights for what he wants"

Come to think of it my name would be a hell of a storm....

Hurricane Ajamu flattens the eastern sea board causing destruction america has never seen...haha
