HelpRe: Weird name story
in reply to a message by LesleyDracken
Oh, dear. I'm seriously sorry. I had no idea it was an urban legend or even a racist thing. And my mom honestly thought this was real too. ;-; Really, so sorry. Now I'm super embarrassed.

no big deal
I think a ton of people either post an urban legend they heard or a list of the Duggars when they're new here.
But yeah, a lot of these stories tend to be racist (though it seems a lot of people don't automatically realize it). Read up on them here:

Well, I'm glad I'm forgiven. Thanks. XP;
What's really goofy is that the teacher in question is black! I'm sure she must have known about this and set us up.
