I call BULLSHITE.
No company would ever turn down an applicant for that reason… out loud.
And why would they have to? They could have simply told this one that her writing is awful-
I don’t care what her name is, she doesn’t get a job at my company if this is an example of her writing ability. How did she graduate high grade school?
Wait, let me rewrite my last sentence.
I DO NOT CARE WHAT HER NAME IS SHE DOES NOT GET THIS JOB AT MY COMPANY THAT SHE APPLIED FOR IF THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HER WRITING ABILITY AS SEEN ON HER RESUME HOW DID SHE GRADUATE HIGH GRADE SCHOOL?
ht/ cynic
She graduated from High School because her teachers, a few with Masters degrees, cannot spell any better. Situation is even worse if teachers are Affirmative Action types.
Ghetto?
Get out!
Are we gonna have a “guess her name contest?”
Tashika Shanaynay Moisha Johnson…from Wakanda
Another race hoax that will be announced in primetime and corrected on the back page of a news paper no one reads. I never give a damn what an applicants name is, but if I interview them, and they say, “youknowhatimsayin” 57,000 times, then I’m not hiring their stupid ghetto ass.
What company rejects applicants via email? And lets see the email from the company.
Juanessa?
“Juanessa! Pick up the ret line!”
She should call Ocasio Kotex. She’s got a job lined up for her as a public relations officer.
“Samica” lolololololo…wait, that’s not the really funny one? I stopped too soon?
Dornisha Zachary is the name given in the obvious hoax clip.
Hmmm, I say it’s not modern ghetto enough.
Though it is indeed a stupid name.
Obviously black in order to separate, just like “African-American.”
How are they sure it wasn’t the neck tattoos?
Don’t blame the company, blame your mama! If a customer can’t read or spell your name you may as well not be there.
I think her name is Altrashia Bidness. Good choice not to hire.
I like this guy. He tells it like it is.

And these women are just trying to sue for someone else’s money without having to do any actual work.
Beltina and Hermeisha also got the email…
Bwahahahaha! 🙂
BTW, didn’t Ike Turner belt Tina?
That’s the whole point of giving kids ghetto names, so that they will be unemployable. Gotta keep the family tradition going.
Here is a name that has meaning too – Roshasta – from Root Beer Shasta – true story, actual person – she be from Oak Land, CA
true story
Reminds me of a poor young lass who’s mother named her La-a, pronounced la dash ah.
Ya just can’t fix stupid
What in the world is “MANtality?
frame 00:29 maybe the job’s for Mens only.
If you want to give your child a unique name no one has ever had in the history of the world, that’s beautiful! Just take the time to find a way to spell it so that white people can pronounce it, or at least teach your children not to be offended if an ignorant honky can’t pronounce it right. How the heck are we to know that “La-a” is pronounced “La dash a.”
Also, if you believe in the existence of institutional racism, don’t give your children names that automatically identify them as African American. Twenty years from now, you child will fill out an application; you don’t want some racist to throw it away automatically.
D’montreaeveqous?
With so many blacks calling for the end of white folk, why would you hire them to begin with?
Honey, your name just saved us both a lot of time.
which gal goes by Unique?
IT LOOKS LIKE BENITO HAS BEEN TEACHING NIGHT CLASSES AGAIN.
Because modern day HR feminists/leftists who work for leftist companies are just falling all over themselves to hire the white dudes named Mike, Ed, and Dave….Sure. They’re just scanning the resume pile for those white male faces….No doubt.
Just because her name is Clitorisandrea Grapedrankisha Johnson doesn’t mean it’s “ghetto”, you know.
I’m a big fan of Key and Peele. This is one of their older sketches.

My all time favorite name for a black man has to be Simian.
Sometimes spelled Simeon.
Hey, I didn’t call him that.
Looks like that company dodged a bullet.
Is her christened name “Thehood?”
I gave up looking for a job in 2010 and decided at that point to change the name on my resume. I came up with Jamal. That’s when the callbacks and offers picked up. No one was interested in my cracker name. So, yes, this does happen, but the other way around, a ghetto name has value in the workplace.
I never accepted any offers.
They came in too low. My white name didn’t get many call backs, I think they figured I’d be asking for too much. That’s correct, but I was only looking for “fair” pay.
10 years out of the workforce now. Don’t miss it one bit.
Maybe her name is L@reesha, a common name amongst the U!is.
Black names matter
If someone complains because I can’t pronounce their name correctly, I tell them it would be cultural appropriation to be able to pronounce it correctly.
Just applied there! As TooWhiteyforYou, Phone and email now off the hook! Did not give them my real name, Va-Gina, caused that made even Steve Harvey have to ask how to pronounce it. @Zonga, made it to #37, you owe me a new screen,,punched it out,smiles.

Top 60 Ghetto Black Names

At coffee Saturday a black friend, quite conservative in fact, mentioned meeting people whose kids were named Abecie and Cedie. Well actually the spelling was Abc and Cde. Seriously, and literally.
Still my all time favorite story is about the mother who got pissed at her daughters school because they couldn’t pronounce her name correctly, it is “La-A”
Pronounced “La Dash A” I shit you knot!
“Shitonya” maybe?
Stop2think- No joke. I got a rejection letter from a major hotel that was typed out and hand signed on a gold- embossed piece of paper. I still have it somewhere. Shit, I thought I was being invited to a fancy event before I realized what it was. LMAO!
Wait, some of those ‘ghetto’ names tread into Indian [dot, not feather] sounding names. And we all know Indians have a terrible time getting hired, riiiight?
Shaddap!
saying yous gots a ghetoe name be racist. mofo.
I get a lot of email job rejections for my name too. They say it reminds them of a Limp Wristed Kenyan Commie fly on his mouth faggot.
I was subbing in the hood about a decade ago and had a boy named (on the printed class list in a ‘behavior’ classroom) Jackus. So when taking attendance I clearly pronounced the last syllable us (like we) and after much disruption by the others, he said You can call me J.J.! That poor kid! I acted like it went over my head then we moved on. He was a pretty nice kid, too.

This story could be true. It WAS a customer service position.
I remember a time when I would call customer service and someone named Jim or Donna would answer. I could hold a one-on-one conversation with that person and more times than not, I would end up with a satisfactory solution. Now, all I get are incomprehensible names that I can’t remember or even write down, atrocious speaking skills, and bad attitudes. Immediately, that conversation has taken a downturn and cordiality is out the window!
True story: I know a nurse who worked with premature babies in a hospital. A woman who had a little girl was asked what she was going to name her daughter by the nurses. The woman proudly said, “Placenta”. They explained what that meant, but she said it was a beautiful name and she didn’t change her mind and that’s what went on the birth certificate.
Eliphantisha……. Bwaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. erp.
I see a bunch of these in many different colors. If the name fits….

When she produces the email the company needs to examine it for the telltales of a fake. I’ll bet some buddy showed her how he could change the header and make it look like it came from the company and then it would rain cash. What most of these bargain basement Einstein’s don’t realize is that there are lots of other tags in an email (as well as the servers it passed through on it’s journey) that also would need to be doctored. They miss one and it’s game over. Assuming that happens I hope the hell the cops charge her and the company sues her.
Wasn’t Whoopi Goldberg’s original last name Johnson, Karen Johnson? And isn’t Johnson a Swedish name or from one of those Scandihoovian countries? My name is Yon Yonson, I come from Wisconsin. Maybe she’s one of those LBJ Johnsons. And last time I checked I don’t think there was a mythical black town/country called Wakanda located anywhere in the USA.
Sorry, kids … I live in the Ozarks and you should see some of the names these Hillbillies come up with (all lily-white muthuhfuckuhs, by the way).
I can no longer distinguish a Hillbilly name from a Ghetto name.
Illiteracy and innumeracy are American themes, not racial.
izlamo delenda est …
Had a conversation two days ago with a customer service rep who copped an attitude when I asked her to spell her name as I’m not up on the correct spelling of the ghetto names. Not the way I asked for the spelling, but she still copped an attitude.
Then there’s the stories from my daughter about the names from when she did her clinicals.
But they sure do know how the play the system for the cash…
