It’s funny that you should ask if African Americans mind if whites call their kids Malik etc because those are not even African names!!! You should be asking if MIDDLE EASTERN people mind African Americans naming their kids after THEM. Or, you could ask if the French mind African Americans calling their kids french names ie Monique, Antwon, La Tonya, Lateisha – but spelling them incorrectly!!!
