This is unbelievable we are in 2009 and there are still people like this out there. She better watch it or in her next life time she will be one of them and then she will love emails like this one. I hope one day she can feel what this feels like and maybe then she will not be so judgmental.

LMAO, a black kids name? How the hell do they figure that?
Sorry, I had to crack up, I've never heard anything so stupid in my life.

If Jackson is a "black name" and is horrible, I would hate to see what they would think about Marley's name.
