The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
Call me a c00n but if it's someone reciting a rap lyric it's a non issue.


There's real racism out there and bullshyt like this is distracting us from it



Sum of yal nikkas worst than those white twitter cacs that are offended by everything and want to cancel someone or something new each and every week

This.

Fake outrage

Like many have already said, Fat Joe been saying the damn word, and J.Lo got a pass with it back in like 2001 or something in that "I'm Real" song with Ja Rule. Guess it's cause she got a fat ass:yeshrug:

If people are going to take a stance, don't be selective with the shyt

The Twittersphere is a miserable lot


J-Lo didn't get a pass. I remember when people went at her about that too. The same argument was made back then about Fat Joe using the n word also.

Breh, were you in a coma? She had to go on MTV and apologize on TRL, justifying why she said it.

Remembering Jennifer Lopez's N-Word Controversy, 15 Years Later | Genius

“For anyone to think or suggest that I’m racist is really absurd and hateful to me,” she said between performances on The Today Show in 2001. “The use of the word in the song… it was actually written by Ja Rule [and] it was not meant to be hurtful to anybody.“ Ja Rule has defended Lopezthrough the years, going as far as to ask why she can’t say “nikka.”

The reality is too many of us use the word without censorship, in front of non blacks and to them, in all kinds of settings. We are divided as a community on who can say it and when, how to say it, and non blacks know we are split on the issue, so for every one of us that will call out non black usage, there's the same amount of us that will justify it...

We don't even censor ourselves, it's way past the point we can censor others. And yes, you're right, we pick and choose who we are okay with using it, black men AND women...
breh.. these folks dont know where they stand..

one minute, its ok for non-Blacks to say it, "if they grew up around primarily Black folks"..

next minute, they wanna jump online and act offended.. if anything- these kinda threads really show the hypocrisy of this forum..

we got a non-Black poster that says, "fukk Africa".. were told to just put him on ignore.. but, we got a 13pg thread on some dumb b!tch rapping "n!gga" in a song.. :unimpressed:

I was about to say this too. I was in 7th grade when the J. Lo thing happened and I remember it vividly, J. Lo was dragged publicly for using it, and the exact same arguments were made about Fat Joe, Big Pun, and other Latinos using it...

And just like this, a bunch of people like Ja Rule defended her using it. The moving goalposts have been hurting us from a public relations standpoint with nonblacks for a long time...

@Barnett114 I don't think anyone necessarily had to give her a pass. There's a shytload of videos of Latino gangbangers from Chicago saying "nikka" like it's going outta style, so it's clear that Chi Latinos use it. She grew up around Latinos who use it, probably just as simple as that, but it definitely doesn't look good given her prior comments about blacks...

In alota ways this board is outta touch with reality, but in this one instance, it's a microcosm of reality. We have a sliding moral scale on who can say it, Non-Black America knows we apply the "pass" very subjectively and inconsistently, and this is proof of that. Shows the hypocrisy we have as a people...

.................................

Black America won't get anything accomplished with the n-word because there is no consensus on its application, we are literally split down the middle at best. I've said this before when cats talk about NY or Bay Area nonblacks who burn the word out, I've been coast to coast, there isn't a single place I've been that I haven't heard nonblacks use the word. From the blackest of places like Memphis, to the most nonblack places like Orange County Ca, I've heard nonblacks use the word. And for every time I've seen black people check nonblacks, there are at least as many times, if not more, that I've seen blacks either defend nonblacks usage or just not say anything at all when they do say it...

And you can put me in that boat, I've been very transparent on here that I've both checked people and let it ride, it is difficult to deal with in certain spaces and I'm guilty of also feeling more comfortable with some than others saying it. And this is literally an issue (or nonissue, depending on how you look at it) everywhere, it ain't just a NY or Bay thing...

We aren't a large enough group, or powerful enough, within the United States, to mute the word when we are completely split and inconsistent on its usage, and don't censor ourselves. So this conversation isn't going anywhere until nonblacks censor themselves and powerful nonblacks rebuke the word on a mass scale, but why should they? Too many nonblacks in this country can just turn it around on us and how many of us call any and everyone that, and use the word in any and every setting...

Yeah this board is ridiculous. TLR is so absurd, I wouldn't be surprised if they made someone a mod despite there being photos of them posing with fried chicken for a :mjpls: advertising campaign for cac skateboarding company and video of them pouring baby powder down a cac's ass for a movie then trying to act self-righteous by calling other people hypocrites... :francis:

Other than when she said that shyt about Latinos in Black Panther I legit have no idea who this person is.


Not giving them a pass, but they aren't on the radar because they haven't said/done anti black shyt
This is central.

I don't think anyone should say it and non-Blacks should DEFINITELY not say it....but there's still a huge difference between some pro-black puerto rican rapper using it and someone who been mixed up in anti-black shyt using it.
