Whoever named this girl marked her for failure. No company is going to hire her. A name like that is a nuisance in the business world. Her first day on the job she would be insisting on the CORRECT mystery pronunciation of her name. Companies are tired of this old racist game. Whoever named this girl marked her for failure FOR LIFE. When this child gets out of jail, she needs to change her name.
“The two women who attacked Andrew were arrested and are in custody. The 18-year-old was identified as Letajia Shapree Cutler-Cain”
Steve Martin apologizes for satirizing names such as Letajia
(CNN) — In days of yore, comedian Steve Martin said he used to try out jokes in clubs and adjust them based on an audience’s feedback.
“Today, the process is faster. It’s your brain, a button, then millions of reactions,” he said on his website.
Martin was writing Monday to explain himself after sending a tweet that, by his own admission, was “unfortunate.”
“To those who were offended, again, I offer a deep, sincere, and humble apology without reservation,” he wrote. “But I feel I need to tell you the context and origin of the joke.”
The storm started Friday when he invited people to ask him grammar questions on Twitter.
Someone wrote, “Is this how you spell lasonia?” to which Martin replied: “It depends. Are you in an African-American neighborhood or at an Italian restaurant.”
You’d never think you’d be attacked by a girl named “Merakle Whip”. Though the name does kinda’ fit.
