I personally know alot of Africans who don't go by their given name..and SOME of them are the same ones wearing tshirts with "at least I know where I come from" on them...if their so proud why dont they use their real names?
A multitude of reasons
most africans i know have two or three names, a native one and an english on because of colonialism, second you surname is more important than you forename in african interms of heritage, history and tradition, thirdly none of you dudes no matter how much we teach you,you can't pronounce our names properly,then you try to shorten it so it can sound more english to your liking and ridicule us for having them because generally america is ignorant towards african nations' history and tradition (whether its in your books or media you still render us primitive black or white), thirdly we are not stupid we wanted to be hired for jobs and get into higher education since america won't make a huge compromise for us in that department we have to make thats compromise for the bigger picture...

Who is this "you" you are referring to? Sounds like the white man...is Barack an African name?
you - most Westerners white, black and in-between
Barack is originally arabic then adopted into the swahili
so the president of the westerners can use his real name but Africans want to be called Peter?
