Icon108 JNCO Jeans

Comment: I have heard in the past that the jeans brand "JNCO's" actually
stands for "Jeans N****** (racial slur for African Americans) Can't Own."
I was curious if you could find out if there is any truth behind this.

I find it unlikely that a company that started in 1985 would be so blatant about their racism.
