I didnt say slave trade. I said slave names. Ask yourself why Malcom X or go read about it.

OK lets play, Tahu. Why do you see , what you may consider, bizarre names in the black community?n his autobiography, Malcolm X explained that the "X" symbolized the true African family name that he could never know. "For me, my 'X' replaced the White slavemaster name of 'Little' which some blue-eyed devil named Little had imposed upon my paternal forebears."
Many enslaved men in the colonial period bore the names Bacchus, Virgil, Hannibal, Jupiter, Titus, Cato, Cicero, Hector, Cupid, Primus, Augustus, Scipio, Nero, Hercules, and Caesar, while enslaved women and girls in New England and beyond received classical slave names such as Venus, Diana, Phoebe, Juno, Daphne, Dido
