Warren Sapp giving his kids "non ethnic" name for job application

[ba'al]

The president of my company is indian and he goes by RJ publicly. Let's not pretend that nicknames aren't a thing.

What's his name on paper though and his paycheck and his application? Nicknames are fine. But did he get the job with a ethnic name is the point.

I guess nobody went and looked up his childrens names:

Warren Carlos Sapp II, Mercedes Sapp, Jaelon Austin Sapp, Autumn Jade Adkins Sapp


Yall nikkas are stupid, just like warren sapp.

All of his kids have ethnic names

Good question. I'll ask him tomorrow.

Unless your name is associated with long money like Warren buffet, Bill Gates, Jeff bezos, the Waltons (Walmart)....then your name don't mean two pieces of shyt.

It could be Andrew Peterson, Malik Jenkins, or fhdjdjfjfbf dhdhrhrugufns.

If the money you're receiving isnt long then this faux belief of never having to work for someone else or cruising through life being a boss is foolish.

You're either going to work hard and establish your own brand or inherit it from someone else. Or just live off your parents money until its all gone.

Gates ain't giving Microsoft to his seeds. Buffet ain't giving Berkshire Hathaway to his seeds. Buffet is notorious for saying his family is going to work for every $ they get.

The Waltons groom their own and keep the business within the family.

Other than them, who do yall know that's doing like that?

Dame Dash 's son has cookies. Most black entertainers and athletes kids fall into the same or similar roles. In talks of doing it big I don't know of many who are maintaining the wealth, keeping the business in their name and passing it on in the family. Especially without college, interning, working for others and shyt.

So who do yall know who passed the wealth and opportunities down to the point where the seed never had to work for anyone and was just an automatic boss?

Go ahead. I'm interested but I don't know why folks are acting like other ethnic groups aren't able to carry their names.

Good question. I'll ask him tomorrow.

If east indians and Arabs can still have their names with a million and one syllables in the work place we should be able to do so as well. nikkas shouldn't have to "code switch" just for a job opportunity. I wouldn't even feel right working a gig where if I had the same skills but a different name they wouldn't hire me let alone desire to be there in the first place.

Please, all ethnicities have had to conform to American. I grew up in multi ethnic communities in Silver Spring MD. Lots of Asian and Indian people had American first names which are nicknames for some long winded ethnic name kids couldn't pronounce and made fun of. Stop targeting nikkas with this shyt.

Lmao Mereceds and Jaelon. Man this nikka got me.

Who cares if some old CAC who sees your resume knows you as Jerry instead of Jerome???? That person is signing your paycheck that's it. You're still Jerome.

Sapp is going a little too far in using it out of the work place, but I understand the logic. There are dozens of studies that support it.

Jerome isnt an "ethnic" name

Anyone who says hes NOT c00ning is retarded.

1) training them for a job? Its cool to have a job, but why push for that?

2) why force a slave name on your chiildren and be proud of that shyt, lol.

3) he even sounds and looks like a dumb c00n as he speaks in the video... Blew millions of dollars he got from slaving and is passing no business or land down to Autumn n them

European names.
. Mercedes is German.
Warren is Irish
Autunm is Latin
Jealon is a respelling of Galen which is Greek.

How am I targeting nikkas by saying I would give my child an ethnic name? Or saying were stigmatized more than other groups. I don't get this intersectionality narrative here of we all gotta change names to get ahead in the corporate world.

So I know extremism is your shtick on the coli, but I practice moderation. If you feel comfortable bleaching and getting a nose job, then I won't stop you. I'm sure you could save your money though and get a job another way, but if that is your wish so be it.

You couldn’t stop anyone from doing those things even if you wanted so what’s the point if even saying that?

You threw the ad hominem at me saying I’m practicing extremism when I was just being sarcastic to prove a point. Where do you draw the line?

I have a question. Why are athletes so lauded?

 

[ba'al]

Most so-called urban and ethnic names are like this though I was explaining this in another thread. DeMarcus, for example, the root goes back to Latin I think.

Warren is Irish
Autunm is Latin
Jealon is a respelling of Galen which is Greek.
