Doors are closed for people for any given reason. The way names are spelled to their looks or what interviewers are looking for in a candidate. That is the nature of jobs and careers in this country (I am unsure how is it in other countries).
If people want to be prejudicial regarding names, then let them say it and relish and bask in their bigotry.
But some people make a ton of money based on their weirded out name and that becomes all relative...
You think the kids who were named after the first gulf war: Bush and Saddam are having issues?
Hayle, I knew kids named after Marc Antony and Cleopatra and they were anything but Black...
So, yes, Black names can get wild and out, but so do other names and the everyone wants there child to be that one child who will change the world and become unique.
Too bad they didn't tell them it has more to do with actions than names...
