it wasn't meant to be racist but i heard the name from a friend, a different friend who went to a catholic school with a "Shi-thead" and thought he was full of bs. when talking to my friends cousin, the subjuct of odd names came up. not in reference to any race but people we know with names that you wonder what the hell were there parents thinking like "harold peters." or just odd names that are some how cool like "Monica B. Real" i never brought up shi-thead as i thought it was bull, the teacher did. he said there were a couple in his school, not just one but several. his girlfriend also teaches at that school confirmed it. so either two respectable teachers who seemed to have complete respect for there students were playing a prank that by some coincidence was exactly what i had heard years earlier by a friend that had no connection to them. maybe it is a common story meant as a bad racist joke and i know a lot of pathological liars, or maybe, just maybe it is true.
you may think i am an ignorant racist redneck pig, i don't care i won't remove the post as i believed it was true at the time and still don't have a reason to believe that it is false. i don't believe in censorship, the boards profanity filter or moderators have already altered the spelling in my original post.
i'm not a racist, i have black friends, i have japanese friends, i have dated black women, and i'm insulted you would accuse me of lying and suggest the post should be removed. i thought it was funny that anyone would name there child something spelled the same as an insult. i have presented it as a something told to me by a third party not a personal experience which is entirely true and if i find the information shared with me to be false i will gladly submit an apology and remove the post. maybe i was dooped, maybe the otherwise respectable seeming teachers like to play not so tastefull pranks, but i don't believe that to be true.
i think the idea of anyone being called shi-thead can be funny black white or indifferent, imagine how many times a teacher unfamiliar with the name will read that and not know what to think as the kid grows up, or not just teachers, employer, fellow employees, imagine a job that needs a name tag dealing with customers. but if you think it to be offensive as the op you can just as easily remove it as i can.
