There is a NTer on this very page by the name of Tobias and he can tell when people are trying to chastise him with the name Toby. I am pretty sure no person white or black would recieve the same treatment with the name Jefferson.
Fun Fact: My last name is Barry and I am 100% African, a very popular Fulani name.

This is correct and I couldn't agree more. Unsettling actually if you think about it. I would think the jokes would come from another ethnic group, not from the African diaspora but you can't put anything past ignorance and self hate right?Originally Posted by AntonLaVey
I'm saying a black person with the last name "Jefferson" or the first name Peter making fun of another black person cause his name is Tobey is absurd and a classical case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Anywho, my question is do you agree that there is a certain special relevance to the name Toby in modern day society due to the cult classic series, Roots?
