I got nothing new that I haven't said a dozen times on this topic. :manny:

But I'll throw this scenario into the discussion.

If we talking equal opportunity and freedom of expression, if black people who don't live around Hispanic Caribbean people, Mexicans, Chinese, Vietnamese people, for instance, started calling themselves spics, wetbacks, chinks, and gooks as a term equivalent to "homie".......and started putting it in rap music songs and videos...............what would be the reaction?

:jbhmm: :lupe: :patrice:

Or is the realistic issue with my scenario that, none of those groups call themselves those slanderous terms, and none of those groups make Billboard Top 25 hits, that people around the world hear, using those terms? Implying there is no cultural/social organic way for a random black kid in a overwhelmingly black area making rap music to feel the need to call themselves, friends, enemies, or random fan a spic, wetback, chink, or gook?

We might have checkmated ourselves, with white supremacy being the origin of course, but the inflationary use of the term into popular music has released it into the wild...I have no answer or a solution honestly, beyond a moratorium on the word by all rap artists until like 2050. The problem is rap music is a reflection of the streets to a great extent, which would require the streets to stop using the term and stop making music with the term. But even if we somehow got all black folks, street elements and regular every day folks to commit to stop using the term, we tell all races of youth to go discover the old school hip hop and sharpen their hip hop history. So when they start doing a hip hop archaeological dig on the amazing music of the 80s, but definitely the 90s............what word is going to stand out more than any other......... .. .. ... .. ... :francis:
On point post.

The older I get the more I’m realizing how layered the whole N word conversation is.

It’s like we’ve aloud our culture to be PACKAGED and SOLD to the world but then get made when the receipts and results come back.

I’m not comfortable with non-blacks using the word, but I also see the bigger picture of why they think they can use it.

Our community doesn’t want to have the full conversation though

I feel like Dominicans, (Afro)Cubans, (Afro)Ricans and any other Afro Latinx from central/South America can use it.

The catch is though, if they are anti black or not informed or ashamed of thier African ancestry then their pass to say it should be revoked. Period.

Why the stupid mental gymnastics Dominicans can or Mexicans can't and then next thing you know people are becoming ancestry experts to find out who has more black bood than others in order to use that word.

The bottom line is no other groups refer to themselves in a slanderous demeaning evil term and have allowed others of other races who are not victims and not Black to part take because they share the same hoods etc...

It's just dumb and tgerethe not a viable argument to promote the use of the word by Black people and others

I see what you're saying but it's not gymnastics if a person is black there shouldn't be a problem regardless if the slave ship left their ancestors in Dominican Republic or Brazil or the US

those ppl and the cultures are anti black and are not your allies. Why the caping? I am in the camp that the word shouldn't be used by anyone. It's so ugly and painful and if people really were educated and understood the history they wouldn't use it but in a country full of dumb uneducated people, I don't expect much.
