Jennifer Lopez: "I'm The BLACK Girl From The Bronx"

[jackswstd]

No, negrita is a term of endearment for Latinas with darker skin. In no kind of Spanish is Jennifer Lopez a “negrita”. It means exactly what it means and that’s exactly what she’s not.

Shakira has used it in a song too La Tortura. Alejandro Sanz called her that in the song.

negrita f (plural negritas) (typography) boldface, bold type. (slang) darling, sweetheart. (slang) black woman, black girl.

Ive seen countless threads on here where y’all talk about Latinos are black and ashamed and need to start claiming their blackness

Then when one does y’all bytch about it

I been saying for years a lot of y’all aren’t really pro black, y’all just say whatever you think will get you daps.

While I agree 100% with you on this; that alotta these idiots whine about some of us not claiming we are black then turn around & get mad when some of us won’t claim it JUST for the sake of being contrarian........

J Lo ain’t a black person or a black latina. At best she’s probably a quarter black. She’s running a con game, like she has since In Living Color days.....she’s a vulture, opportunist and a hustler thru & thru...not to mention a backstabbing whore...plus her mom’s a racist puta. Negrita in most contexts mean a black girl, moreno a darker skin person (for example like an Indian). She’s neither and going based off her past she’s tryna bring attention to herself....

This is actually bad for black latinos such as myself who claimed it before came a twitter fad, cuz now we are thrown in the mix with the wave hoppers....

This Jlo?

Got curious and typed Jennifer Lopez Black in the search bar: Black Jeans (not genes, jeans) and Black Dress came up. Mfn Black Bootcut Jeans came up before anything bout anyone being Black

 

[BK The Great]

Yea she just committed career suicide. Be proud of who you are. Ain’t no shame in that.

 

[GPBear]

all this time i had no idea jennifer lopez was black, i thought she was puerto rican or some shyt

oh, she's not black? she's just culturally appropriating another ethnicity because she thinks it makes her more 'authentic', which itself is indicative of her deep-seated beliefs?



¡ay dios mio, jenny es un puta loca!

That’s not the point of the thread. Is Jennifer Lopez a black woman? No. So she should not be calling herself a black girl. Idgaf what pocket of the planet she’s from. Growing up within and benefitting from black culture doesn’t make you black. She’s not a black Puerto Rican woman. What you’re talking about makes no sense in context unless you believe Jennifer Lopez is a black woman and in that case, that’d be tragic on your part.

Shakira has used it in a song too La Tortura. Alejandro Sanz called her that in the song.

The video where Shakira is covered in black oil? LOL. And yes I expect causal racism from un Ethpañol so mal ejemplo. No necesito definiciones - yo en realidad soy una negrita and you’re trying to tell me.

*and I’ll add to that let’s run with your angle of multiple meanings. In the Caribbean, where her Puerto Rican family hails from, negra/negrita does not mean sweetheart. It’s specifically used to note skin tone, like morena, India, rubia. It’s used damn near the same in all three Spanish Caribbean countries. So no, she would not be using it in the context some one from, “Spain” would. She knew what she was trying to say and it’s cringey, to say the least.

 

[Ashley Banks]

Hold the fukk up

Ain’t y’all the same ones that are quick to say Latinos are ashamed of their blackness?

But when one claims to be black y’all are offended?

Which one is it?

They’re talking about BLACK Latinos.

 

[BlaqkSpliffin]

She forgot to edit that part out when she stole it from a black woman

No estaba tratando de decirte como debes de sentir

She trying to eat with cardi

 

[Curioser]

Another fake outrage culturally illiterate thread. The US can’t project their understanding of things on another culture in another language. There are white people who both sides of their family are white in Cuba who they call negrita. One of my wife’s cousins has been called La Negra since birth even by black people in Cuba and she’s white. She is in no way saying she is black. Alternately, I know black people in Cuba who they call “el ruso” the Russian or “el Rubio” blondie.

And furthermore she probably didn’t even write those lyrics cause she barely speaks Spanish.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Y’all really got energy to be legit mad at this?

 

[Shang Tsung]

She just forgot to edit the lyrics

I'm surprised ya'll haven't realized that she's one of the biggest manufactured stars to come out
