As some of you already saw on my Facebook status, I have an issue with Facebook allowing people to change their usernames. Sure I understand that if it's your own page you should be able to make it into whatever it is you want it to be, but to a certain limit.
There are some people who are NOT supposed to be given the creative freedom as everyone else, because what happens is that they make themselves look like a damn fool when their creative juices flowing. The real issue with the Facebook names isn't so much people changing their first or last name to their middle name and last name combination (e.g my buddy Terrance changing his first name to Avery which is his middle name), it's the ghetto people who want to change their names to ignorant ass shit. Here are some examples of what I'm talking about.
Real Name: Jonathan Gathers -------> Jon Jon Trapstar Gathers
Real Name: Denise Summers ----> Necee Fancychik Summers
Real Name: Marcus Johnson ----> Young Pistolholder Johnson
Real Name: Alicia Walker ------> Licia Lightskinredbone Walker
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! When Dave Chappelle said on his show "We shoulda never gave you niggas money" he might have been on to something. There are times when you are given the opportunity to be creative, and some of those times you jump at the opportunity, and other times you leave it alone. For most of the people in the Black community, I think we should just leave Facebook name changes alone. I know that some of us don't go by the name that is on our Facebook, or go back some sort of variation of it, I get that. But to add an alias to a name that you don't like just to make a name that no one in their right mind would select is well...just stupid!
