Wow! Sometimes I struggle to believe I live in the same universe as other posters and this would be a good example of it. Where did you get the message that we were terrible as a country? Seriously? That's a huge chip you've got on your shoulder!
We are constantly told by the left that this is an evil country and in their minds, and constant reminders, that goes double for white people. This article right here is a great example and if you don't pay attention, that isn't my fault.

I am the whitest person you'll ever meet. Seriously, I glow in the dark. I do not feel that way at all, and I never have. You're letting a comedian have control of your brain. That's silly.
These oligarchs have a vested interest in riling up the masses and cause divisions based on age, religion, race, gender etc. As inequality increases, we will see more radicalism from the media owned by the ruling class.
Since you looked it up, you now know that your 'quick buck' slant (from your other post) is incorrect.
I like a distinctive name as much as anyone, but some of those were pretty cringeworthy. People have taken shots at "ghetto names" for decades, so I'm not sure why this is ruffling any feathers.
No_Recess, have you ever read Freakonomics? There's some interesting stuff in there about baby names and how they trend.
The names of Frank Zappa's two daughters are among the weird somewhat early music/tv/film kids names I remember (Moon Unit Zappa, and Diva Muffin Zappa), but there are probably some weird names from the 60s that are not readily coming to mind.
Naming children is much more difficult than it might appear. Coming up with a name that is traditional enough to have appropriate gravitas for an adult but modern enough not to sound stodgy as it ages is a very fine line. Oh, and it must also please the relatives, who often expect that the newest member of the family will be graced with name that tips its hat to an elderly member of the family. The child's first and middle names must also must combine well with the child's surname, and don't forget that you'll say/yell it a million times before the child reaches the ripe old age of ten, so it should roll off tongue and have some carrying power. That's a tough set of criteria.
I seriously doubt the vast majority of parents apply such a strict criteria into naming their kids. Kids with the names of luxury brand vehicles or compass points are exhibit 1.
Well...since we are talking about stupid names I could bring up some other lists but that wouldn't do to well on this forum.
