Girl, if he has a biblical name, you need to block him. John, Matthew, Luke, block. Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, double block. Okay? You hear me? Okay. If his name ends in ante or bon, block. Javante, Trayvon, block. If his name starts with a T, Y, block. Tyrone, Tyrell, block. Quanz. If it ends in Quan, he's gone. Now, let's talk about these overly white names because they need to be blocked, too. If his name is Tanner, Kyle, Shane, blocked. If his name is Brad, Chad or Thad, blocked. You hear me?
Okay. If his name ends in O and it is derived from a Latin root for my spelling bee girls out there, blocked. Ricardo, Ronaldo, Lothario, blocked. Cristianaldo, Julio, Don Julio, blocked.
