Jamal Joseph Johnson Jr., 18, is suing his parents for the sum of $500,000 over racial injustice and the unequal opportunities he will face for “being born black and underprivileged in America” his lawyer said incourt.


Johnson’s lawyer pleaded that her client faced widespread discrimination in all fields of life based on the color of his skin and will suffer the lifelong consequences of his parents’ “egotistical and selfish choice of giving birth to a black child in an oppressive and racially segregated society such as modern America.”


'My client did not ask to have fifteen times more chances of being incarcerated or of being shot by police, of having access to lesseducational opportunities, lesser wealth and to statistically face more drug addiction problems than most white males,” he told the judge.


Lawyer Precious J. Williams, who is representing the teenager, believes that her client’s demands are reasonable and that they are a just counterbalance for all the lifelong inequalities he will face for being born a black male in an “oppressive and racially segregated society such as modern America.”


'''Trayvon Martin was shot for buying skittles in a white neighborhood. What are my client’schances of making it alive in the long run?” Johnson’s lawyer asked the judge visibly emotional.


The case which has attracted national attention could set a landmark ruling believeslegal expert and former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Ari Goldstein.


“A ruling in favor of this young man could open the door to every child in America to sue his or her parents if they believe they were brought into this world with crippling or unequal opportunities to succeed in life,” he explained when reached by phone.


In 2013, a 35-year-old morbidly obese man sued his parents for $300,000 and won after proving that his education and family upbringing were responsible for his various medical ailments.

Rubbish. What about those born in places like Nigeria Uganda and co? Are there no black people in same U.S who are very successful?

So the parents shouldn't reproduce again because they are black? The kid should thrive to become successful and nothing will stop him.

Nonsense, despite America's issues with race.
There are still successful black people there like Ben Carson, Michael Jackson, Muhammad Ali, Oprah Winfrey and so many others.

This is good, people should learn to consider their offsprings more, if you aren't very rich, don't procreate, not everybody likes struggling, especially when you made the decision of giving birth to them without their consent.

What if you're rich when you procreated, and then become poor sometime later?

It's okay to kill the child, right?

Because you are facing discrimination does not mean you should sue your parents for such. Where you are is just unfavorable towards people of color..... That should rather tell to trace your roots in Africa and come back home let fix this place together.

That's not an excuse to born people into poor and struggling homes, if you were once rich, that's a different thing, persist in having more investments like lands, houses and shops, if at the end of the day you still go broke, your children will understand, than the usual scenario of selfish wretched idiots procreating like pigs, expecting a miracle and acting like they did their children a favor by giving birth and taking care of them.

Please, stop explaining your ignorance...Abeg grin

Yes, people should be educated to bear kids that they can take care of, use protections and partake in family planning, but saying that they ought to be rich before they give birth is senseless....very very senseless

There are farmers, petty traders, hawkers that have kids, and are taking care of them. They don't have cars, lands, investment and all those fantasies you typed up there grin. Yet, they are not a nuisance to the society

Try and leave your bedroom, and see how life works outside. The internet is not the definition of reality

You are the deluded person here, Life is not a playground, life is a battlefield, and when you born kids into poor homes, you give them a disadvantage, I won't say more than this, everybody can believe what they want, people are going to do as they want anyway.

...and I still insist that it's senseless, and it obviously shows you're either a kid, or you think like one.

You say life is a battlefield, and you still want everybody to be rich and give birth when they are rich..

Do you people actually believe everything you read on the internet?

What is the legal basis of this case? On what grounds, legally, can he take his parents to court?

Can you take anyone to court in Nigeria for any reason, e.g. because they looked at you?
