The fact that we as white people make fun of black people for naming their kids things like Shaniqua, which sounds lovely, I mean that shit sounds like some kind of rare and ethereally beautiful butterfly “the northern shaniqua” you can just picture a northern shaniqua fluttering its dainty gossamer wings, flitting from flower to flower.  I mean it just sounds pretty.

And then we go around naming our kids shit like Fletcher which sounds like a kind of abscess you get on your dick from late stage syphilis seems particularly fucked up to me.  Seriously say it out loud “fletcher”.  “that dude had a fletcher on his dick, I nearly puked when he took his pants off, it smelled horrible”.  It just sounds freaking gross.  We have zero room to make fun of anyone.  We’re ridiculously bad at this.

Like I’m aware of what each one means, and actually fellow white people why the fuck are you naming your kid “arrow maker” in the first place?  I mean I know we have our problems, but I thought we’d kiiiiiind of recognized the obsolescence of the long bow?  Have we not progressed since like… the 16th century?  Of course we fucking haven’t.

IDK man, I just DK, that shit seems fucked up.

Also I’m Mrs. Darling.

Never ever Miss Darling.  Ms. Darling is acceptable, but I prefer Mrs.  Mr. Darling is also acceptable.  I am also not Mrs. Husband’s-last-name.  I am Mrs. Darling.

Do not call me “Miss” by itself, “Ma’am” or “Sir” is preferable in these situations, 

If you’re not going to do this properly, just call me by my first name.  It’s simpler.

Though of course Comrade Darling always works too.
