My brother informed me of this story. I couldn’t believe it, so I had to look it up for myself.
Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas is seeking a change in the name of hurricanes. She feels that hurricane names are too “lily white”, and that all racial groups should be represented. She feels that names such as Keisha, Jamal, and DeShawn should be on the list. Yep, those quotes aren’t a typo, she was really quoted as saying “lily white”.
This woman is an elected government official! Since neither of my readers are from Texas, this may fall on deaf ears, but PLEASE do not allow this woman to be re-elected. Please send a message to our government officials that if they waste people’s time on arbitrary, useless garbage that they will be punished by losing their job.
A question for you, Ms. Congresswomen (just in case she reads this), is ‘Sheila’ black sounding enough? Are you offended that your parents didn’t name you something that the average white person can’t pronounce? Did the kids in school tease you? “Hey Shenenay, check this out, her name is Sheila. What is you half white or something?”
For the record, each of these non-white names are slated to be used in the coming years: Marco, Ernesto, Chantal, Humberto, Lorenzo, Pablo, Christobal, Omar, Paloma, Joaquin, and Phillipe.
Doesn’t bringing up race in ridiculous discussions such as this widen the racial divide that people like Sheila claim to be fighting against?
“What’s your name, hurricane?”
“My name is hurricane Kunta Kinte.”
“Your name is hurricane Toby. Now, what is your name?”
“My name is hurricane Kunta Kinte!” –>
