How about "shitthead"? Pronounced "sha-thaid".... at least to some of his relatives. True story from my former sister-in-law, a teacher in Nanjemoy, MD. You KNOW he can fight.....
Ghetto names for tomorrow's ghetto criminals. How stupid people are to give a name like those to children, a virtual guarantee that things will not go well for them in life.
I know when we did hiring, if we came across a weird name on the application, we tossed it out. Our customers wouldn't be able to say the name, and would also feel uncomfortable around someone with a strange name. We had very conservative white shoppers, we had an image and obligation to uphold.
I never understood why my black community cripples its children like this. You can't combat the discrimination that takes place by looking at a name on an application except for giving them a more traditional name. This form of discrimination can go unchecked. Give your kids a chance to already receive a call back for the position or scholarship, etc...
To all those parents who want to give their children a "unique" name, understand what their lives will be like. Your name is what? How do you spell it? All the time. Wait. There's more! A woman in Vienna named her daughter "Junior". LOL!!
4:46 not controlling, playing the game to win. Let your child be unique on their own merits, not the stand out get passed over on a callback name you've given them. The content of your child's character will not make it pass the ghetto personification the name screams. If they want a ghetto ass original name, they can change it on their own when they're of age. I just keep it biblical as my guide but to each his or her own! Sincerely,
Lemonjello.... Pronounced Le monjello. TRUE!!!!!

America, The Land of the Free to Name Your Child Whatever The Hell You Want To. Would you like to submit a list of approved names, control freaks?
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to name YOUR kid any f'd up stupid name you want.
DeleteEveryone else is free to note the stupidity of the name, as indicative of the mentality of the parent, and conclude likewise.
Don't name your kid something stupid, or fake "ethnic". Don't saddle your kid with FAIL.
