    Given that you may just have a policy that does not make change, that does not equal racism. I don't know the entire situation, therefore I am unable to speak on it. However, it is not just that we (blacks) think that others (I am guessing you are speaking about caucasion americans) 'hate' us because of our skin color. There are many different kinds of prejudice and then there is racism. Racism is still very much prevalent, but as I said about your situation, I don't know the entire story, so I am unable to assess it.

    I usually don't get offended. Normally, I am 'you know, the black girl' :-)

    I consider it creativity. I do not have an extremely unusual name and none of my siblings do either. However, I do see a lot of 'ethnic' names nowadays. I don't like plain jane names like jane or billy, but also don't go for the country names like shaneequah either. But I have known white women named Acquanetta as well as other names I have never heard of. I think it is cultural.
