They're going to be S.O.L. just like the others.
Jet magazine did a study about the small number of African Americans having jobs in Corprate White America. They sent out a batch of resumés with "ghetto names" (Tameka, Sheveka, Tytrell) on them then they sent out another batch with regular names such as Amy, Sarah, Tom and John. Both batches of the resumés were taylored to the job and had the same experiences/qualifications. Only the second batch (regular names) got a call back for an interview. Interesting....yet another form of racism in America :roll:

Chantel has never been a ghetto name....cuz that's my name...i don't see no white folks with them names...they not as "creative" as we are
I agree all theses parents should take a moment in the delivery room and think about what kind of effect their kids names will have on them later on
I was going through my phone, maybe Fatima is not as ghetto as i thought, how about Shaveka?
