I said black people should stop naming their kids with names like Shamikra, Theondous, Jabizzla, or whatever. They are just made up names. I said it costs them opportunities.
Welll, here is a lawsuit about that. Now Dwight Jackson is pretty normal, but he says he was denied a job because of his name. So he made a resume with the name John Jebrowski and got the interview under that name.
Now he is suing the hotel in Detroit, MI(notice this didn't happen in the South). I have said it all along. Stop doing that to your kids. Latrocious is not an African name. That is made up. Lazondra is made up. Tywillicus is made up. Think about the economics and your kids future.

Dwight Jackson filed the lawsuit against the Shinola Hotel on July 3, alleging he was denied a job when he applied as “Dwight Jackson,” but later offered an interview when he changed his name to “John Jebrowski.”
The lawsuit alleges Jackson was denied a job in “violation of Michigan Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act.”
Between January and April 2024, Jackson, a 27-year-old Black man, applied to multiple positions at the Shinola Hotel in downtown Detroit, including a role in reception, according to the lawsuit. On its website, Shinola Hotel says it is a “luxury” hote
