so in other words, you jumped into the discussion just to do it
forgive me for not noting who said what, when you jumped in and quoted the post about "a made up tiger jenkins" i assumed you read the rest of the post and had no response for "ceo's named dajuan"
but then i realized you pick and choose your battles
the question is not flawed
you can only make jokes about camron and the diplomats
the fact is that a non-westernized name for a black person makes it more difficult to succeed
using tiger woods and barack obama as barometers of successful black people is flawed, as they are not representative of the "average" black person with a unique name
the evidence is that you cannot name a major number of black ceo's with non-westernized names because they do not exist
however, names are just one facet of a multi-layered problem with race in this country
