I guess the moral of the story is "Don't feed the racist". One should be able to name their child with a traditional African name or an African American associated name.....if they like it. However, that feeds the racist and gives them something to digest. Its a shame that black folks cannot simply be black folks without it being used against us.

That said, however, racist are going to "Eat" whether you feed them or not.

Ya but Linda is a very generic common name. Holds no racial, ethnic , or whatever. Just how many people remember Linda Lovelace ? Not many I bet , especially being a pioneer in Porn acting long ago now, who was not much in her field considering today's porn stars.( which I know little of LOL ) Keisha I am sure is not her real name anyway, but it does stick.

Well, you must watch a lot more porn than I do. I would not have associated the name Keisha with a porn star.

I think Keisha is a cute name and certainly not 'overly ethnic'. If anything it's common, where Kylie is trendy. That's probably all there is to this NON STORY.

A friend of mine from long ago didn't like her middle name and changed it to something more modern and trendy, keeping the same first letter too. It didn't make the news though.

Well I don't know how much porn you watch, but I did hear the other day the most profitable/ money generated web sites on the internet were the Porn Industry.....so I guess a lot of Guys tune in !

I remember Keisha when she was in her 20s , always thought she was funny and very attractive in a girl next door way. ( Full figured too, no skin and bones ). The other day I had a finger slip and gosh darn it , up came this web site of Keishia 's .She Looks very good for an old broad, I guess she is around 50, it did bring back memories , gosh that was 25 years ago if was a day..
