I can't believe a black newspaper is calling this racist by naming the child George. Something they claimed happened a long time ago. Is anything not racist?"During the slave trade many black men were referred to as George, after George Pullman, the engineer and industrialist who was known for hiring them shortly before the Civil Rights Movement began.
However, it was used as a racial slur.
High class passengers who were travelling on Pullman trains called them all 'George' so they did not have to learn their names."
