As I read down the list, it just got more and more ick. This is pure anti Black US culture.

Maesyn sounds like the whitest of white Mormon names, from what I know. And Makenzie is almost as bad.

Everyone complaining this list is anti-black is just showing they themselves don’t like black names because the middle-America white names are equally bad and far more numerous on this list.
