The Name Game
 

thejeffersons.jpgAmerica, it is a-changing. According to a new Census Bureau analysis, Garcia and Rodriguez are now among the top 10 most popular surnames in the country. And Martinez almost took 10th place from Wilson. I'm sure it makes all of those anti-immigration folks feel all warm and snuggly.

But while some parts of America are changing, some things are the same as they ever were. Consider this: 90 percent of people with the last name Washington are black. Seventy-five percent of our nation's Jeffersons are, too.

The founding fathers left their stamp on this country in more ways than one.

LOL. Yep, those are black surnames. Even if we don't want to admit it, we think it. As soon as I see those names written down somewhere…I immediately know the person is black. Sames goes for Jackson.

One more way for employees to weed out colored folk. Poor white descendants of slave owners will also suffer. Quel horreur!
