Black Mom Names Her Daughter Marijuana Pepsi Sawyer
One of the things that disgusts me most this day and age is how these Afro moms cannot pick proper names for their children. You’ve all come across their offspring at a shopping mall or more likely working at a fast food place: Starkweesha Jones, N’Lamar Johnson, Tajooka and Shakahoka Greene. You know what I’m talking about here and it’s all an embarrassment and offense to our nation’s roots.
So imagine my contempt today when browsing through headlines at my office and the following story comes up: “A Woman Named Marijuana Plays It Straight“.
Before even clicking the link I knew it was going to involve a girl who was misnamed by her black mother. I was, of course, right.
Sawyer’s mother, Maggie Johnson, picked her name (Marijuna Pepise Sawyer). Her father objected but lost the argument. To this day, a lot of family members and best buds call her Pepsi.
“She said that she knew when I was born that you could take this name and go around the world with it. At the time as a child, I’m thinking yeah, right. You named my older sister Kimberly. You named my younger sister Robin,” Sawyer said.
The most surprising part of this story, of course, is that the father was actually around. As you know, statistically black fathers tend to sneak off and leave these poor colored mothers to raise their children all alone. This is why black youth, especially the boys, tend to be less disciplined and end up in prison. They don’t have fathers around to instill a sense of discipline in them. It is a sad cycle.
What’s even worse though are these names. All too often black kids feel like outcasts, as they are stuck having to defend their insane names and having to correct people with good names on the pronunciation.
This makes them feel separate from other kids and it’s probably why if you look around your local mall or high school sporting events, you’ll notice the little colored kids tend to segregate themselves from everyone else.
I used to think it was because they were a bit bigoted or had chips on their shoulders, but when you think deeply about it you realize that it’s all because this endless cycle of their parents not letting go of the past.
African-American parents, or mothers more accurately, need to stop putting the burden of the past on their children. I know it was once trendy for black people to put an X in place of their God-given last names and to start taking names from the ‘mother-land’, but all this nonsense has to come to a stop.
Martin Luther King had a dream of this nation unifying and people being judged not by the quality of their skin, but by the content of their character. Character building starts with self-perception, and self-perception is shaped by how you relate with your peers.
Having a name like Doneesha or Tyrone is not going to help these little black kids seamlessly interact and assimilate to the culture of their peers at our schools. Good people like Justice Marshall and Lyndon Johnson wanted to integrate schools not to build walls of division, but bridges of unity among the youth in America.
We need a national standard for names in our country. What is wrong with parents picking good, American names like Joseph, Mary, Ann or Elizabeth for their kids? Nothing.
Kids should be able to be proud of their names and not have to endure odd stares because their parents felt some weird need to burden them with a foreign nonsense name.
America is the great melting pot and the more the immigrant cultures throw of their shackles of the past and accept unity by accepting their American tradition, we will leave the dark past behind and all move together in the brotherhood of unity toward a brighter America.

Great reading material. I have a Mexican friend who named her little girl Inesa and the middle name MaryJane. true facts. they are perfect law abiding church going people. maybe if you where not to scared and ignorant to get to know your fellow human beings. You might find that people have diverse backgrounds here in America. thy may have picked an odd name for there child. but they are still human beings and deserve the respect and dignity. you make it seem like she instantly got married to Satan (who doesn’t exist) learn to listen to Jesus. Love thy neighbor. Welcome to America!

Perhaps you should be poking your Christianity sword at white celebrities. I notice that none of those children have been removed from their parents. In fact, Bob Geldof ended up with another weirdly named kid that wasn’t even his.

The author of this article is ignorant and short sighted. narrow minded and ill educated. If America is the great melting pot then why is there one standard american culture considering the melting point is melting different cultures together. by the way Whites are immigrants to America. they are the supreme Immigrants because unless you are native american and can trace your roots to over 1000 years on this continent you are an immigrant. Tyrone is a name that even white people bear. its not a name from Africa its European. You said surprisingly the father was there, so you think all african americans dont have their fathers around. what an idiot and nincompoop you are chuck dummy. You dont seem to have interacted with a lot of african american kids because you really dont know how proud a lot of shaniquas are of their name. if they werent proud of it, they could change it and they hardly ever do. And what do you mean by afro moms. do you mean african american moms or african moms. so you think an african american mom should call her daughter molly, a european name and not desire a name more from the continent of africa her ancestral land because what…… america is for europeans only. ohhh holy cow you bedsheet wearing honkey.
By the way her mother was white. and so I guess all your ranting and raving is actually towards a white woman. or do you also want to deny miscegenation?
You are a racist and a hyprocrit not worthy of any respect. You are a retarded adult not worthy of attention and I believe I have given you more attention than I intended, but I thought I should add my own insults to the many insults already hurled at you on this site. I hope you loose your front teeth and by the way how did you come by a computer? i didnt know mountain goats knew what pcs were

I’m sure it’s a waste of time arguing with a racist hatemonger who professes to be a Christian, but look up the Today Show piece about Ms. Sawyer and others with equally unusual names. You’ll find the majority of them were white.
But your hatred is so “colored” (what year are you living in, 1950?) that you’re blinded to the truth. I pity you and so many of the alleged “Christians” here.

Actually, they took those kids away for having ‘anti-American’ names. The concern was that those kids would feel psychologically threatened by having names that did not fit the trend of proper American names.
So, I for one have a problem with naming a kid Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Idi Amin or Taileeka Seereeka. It does not matter. A kid’s name needs a standard and black mothers are taking too many liberties. If a white dad cannot name his kid Adolf, black people should be held to the same standard. So excellent point your bring up here, friend.

Actually NJ did not say why they took the children and the father, who was probably right, suggested it was because of all the media attention around the names of his children.

How do you define “anti-American, Standard, Proper American names?” The problem I have with your position is that you are trying to tie a very unusual name “Marijuana Pepsi Sawyer” to an entire race of people. I would suggest that there is a difference between naming your child Marijuana vs Tyrone or Shaniqua.
If a mother want’s to name her daughter Doneesha, there is nothing wrong with that. You stated that “having a name like Doneesha or Tyrone is not going to help these little black kids seamlessly interact and assimilate to the culture of their peers at our schools.” I suggest the limitations these kids might have in interacting with society would come more from people who would judge them by their name and not the content of their character.
