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

[Losttribe]

I wasn't saying you do. I just feel you usually have intellegent insight so I asked.

They represent our primal desires of violence, dominance, seduction , etc.

Gladiators were used back in the day by the best politicians to earn support of the people.

Plus ALL entertainers are praised for doing exceptional things, like dancing singing, or throwing a ball well.

You don't need some try hard name to be for your community. And many of the names we hear are just that. Try hard and have nothing to do with Africa and you fake militants on here know it.

You're naming a human being who has to wade their way through life.

Malcolm, Marcus, Timothy Drew, Martin, Shirley ect.

"I won't stop you." Is a turn of phrase. I'm sure you're familiar with.

I was following your posting pattern actually which usually involves extreme statements and angry diatribes.

Sounds like you want an “angry diatribe” since you keep making the ad hominem attacks. You dudes whine but you like when I shyt on you almost like masochists.

Great an actual question. For my children I had names planed already that I guess one would consider "normal" with Ghanaian middle names. Usually I pick names because of meaning. I wouldn't encourage my children to alter themsleves because I don't think they need to go that far since the judgement comes from naming conventions and people associated. Sure you can form a negative opinion of people who you are interviewing, but interaction can influence people more than perception. When people look at names they make assumptions based on the perceived history of those names.

You didn’t answer my question. I asked you where’s your line when it comes to submitting to white supremacy and you went on this irrelevant rant about names. It’s not about names, it’s about racism white supremacy. Whites associate non European sounding names with non European descendant people. Your idea of “normal” names are European names mainly associated with whites. You justified blacks naming their kids after European whites rather than names associated with black Africans by saying that corporate America is racist. I’m asking where do you draw the line. You laughed off my suggestion that blacks get nose jobs and lighten their skin to better fit in to a racist white corporate America structure, so I just wonder how far do you think that blacks should ultimate go in trying to fit in to racist white America?

I have a very ethnic and old last name and I get jobs easily. I also have a mini fro

Smart move. People are going to call him a c00n, but it's a small thing to do to increase your kid's chances at employment.

Bingo, in this racists ass country Kevin or William will get hired over Daquan and Tyreke.

In addition, I will continually re-educate them on the corruption and the bigotry in America and how to play the system to help our brothers and sisters by establishing ownership and slyly hire our own with the right education or competence.

This nikka is trying to be a smart ass lol

Mercedes is not German, it's Derived from the Spanish merced (mercy).

His children all have ethnic names

Aren’t the Spanish white Europeans?

 

[Bunchy Carter]

Aren't all the people inhabiting Spain Germanic historically? They aren't Roman.

Also you mean Europide ethinic right?

Bro, your using words you do not even know, because your putting them in a sentence and the sentence does not make sense.

Where is Spain Germanic? LoL

I know where Spain is and the meaning of Germanic....but.....

Putting a nickname on your resume is giving up a piece of yourself? That's all that I'm ok with. Actually making it their name is definitely corny though.

Asians have been doing this decades and have been reaping the benefits. We shouldn't we put our kids on?

The premise of the thread is that he purposely avoided what are being referred to as “ethnic names” so his kids can be accepted into certain spaces. That’s him compromising a piece of himself for white acceptance.

We are talking about limiting the possibilities of what you are going to call your own child, your own fukking kid that you bringing into the world and will raise, just so they get the nod of approval from cacs.

If you can’t see how that’s fundamentally wrong, and displays an incredible lack of spine, then so be it. I can’t even fathom the type of shyt said child will be taught, I mean, if their name is already a compromise.

Putting your kids on to me translates to instilling strong moral fibre and a sense of pride in self. From their name to their roots. It also means providing the best education possible within your means, and cultivating a culture of hard work and application in them, as well as creating opportunities for them if that’s within your means. Not naming them Connor or some shyt just so cacs can accept them.

also, Asians often have model minority status, so them dikkriding cacs rather than attempting to change or protesting a fundamentally flawed system is not surprising in the least.

 

[I Really Mean It]

They’re still going to be denied jobs once the interviewer sees they’re black.

 

[Mr Bubbles]

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

That don't mean shyt, breh. The original source of the name means nothing. What matters is what it's associated with in pop culture. Mercedes is associated with strippers. Warren is black as hell. Autumn can pass. Jealon is black as hell.

Breh, I already said what Sapp did was lame. I'm focusing just on the resume aspect of it because I've seen it myself, not the birth certificate and SS card.

I'm only saying there are clear cut studies that show that you have a MUCH better chance if you put a whiter sounding name on your resume. When I say put your kids on, I'm saying is put a nickname in their job applications. That's it. Sometimes you have to cheat the game to win.

I'm Haitian and my kids are definitely getting French names

Another smart nikka

So, when the Moors ruled Spain, they were considered White Europeans? lol

The moors haven’t ruled Spain for 600 years. The Spanish are definitely white Europeans dumb “nikka”.

You do know that the House of Hasburg, which is Austrian meaning a Germanic people birthed the Spanish Royals right?

Habsburg Spain - Wikipedia

History of Spain - Wikipedia
The house that unified Spain is Germanic so what does that make the Spanish Royals?
