A lot of it is just using the surname of the slave owners families had from way back when.

(Is this going to be 'African American question week'?)

So why are there so few white people with some of those names? I mean, presumably the slave owners had some white descendants?

Those names you listed are pretty common last names for white people too.

The ones they listed are ones they think are common for both races

what would really help is if they could give us some examples of ones they think aren't

...Yeah? I couldn't tell you the minutia about how surnames were divvied up way back when.

WTF, man. There aren't "so few white people with some of those names". They're common names, period.

"(Is this going to be 'African American question week'?)"

Nowhere did they specify it was just about Americans. You remind me of that interviewer who referred to Mandela as African American.

(the American ones, not the ones with actual African names)

Yes they did.

They refer to 'black people' but then they say "most of them (the American ones, not the ones with actual African names)". Ergo, it's just about Americans.
