    True that happens. Last week I put in a application as my birth name Larry H and put in my resume and then was rejected. Then I put in the same application with the same damn information with a white sounding name. The name was Lawrence Flay and they want or wanted to interview me my information. Eddie's market of Roland Park and Eddie's of Charles Village in Baltimore. Both located in white people sections of this dump Baltimore

    I am black and some time l understand how others feel about us. The braids some time look so unprofessional we bring it on our selves. When its racism call it out because racism is so hurtful but it's not always racism.😮😮
