i've seen this happen a lot, especially with rental applications..

That's why it's good to have a "regular" middle name like Nicole or Amanda. I put a lot of thought into my kids names, so when they grow up, they won't have that stigma when trying to apply for a job.

That's the way it is. All you can do is adapt and overcome. I wish it wasn't like that, but as studies show, there is a underlying resentment towards anything that's different from you. Folks have been conditioned to feel that way for years. That's why I can't understand why this commerical got as far as it did. It feeds all the negative images folks have about us.

Youtube it, I saw it. It's only bad because of the racist stereotyping.

I think it's disgusting that a company would portray rap artists who portray themselves as gangsters, thugs, dope dealers, and treat woman with like property as

well gangsters, thugs ,dope dealers, and abusive to woman.

Alas, the moral decay has sunk so low, that somewhere in that food chain, folk thought it was ok, socially acceptable, to field such a commercial to the general populace.

Oh well.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
