LATINA ACTRESS Dania Ramirez DEFENDS using "the n" word

[bouncy]

How about we stop using the n - word all together? The older I get the more I figure out how useless it is for Black people to say it.

I was just thinking about this the other day

Black people should rise above the word and stop saying it. Then let these latinos and whites people go around using it while looking like fools.

 

[Neil Tyson]

It's silly to defend the right to a word when it's been used to humiliate my people centuries ago.

Damn, you think like me. I would do the same thing, in my world

Must be nice to have such accommodating African-American friends.

Her friends are low key simps and self hating motherfukkers

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- Following Paula Deen’s admission that she has used the N-word, many in Hollywood are talking about the use of the controversial word, including “Devious Maids” star Dania Ramirez.

The Latina actress told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover that she has also used the word with friends.

“I don’t see the point in allowing certain people to be able to use it and then others to not be able to use it,” she said on Tuesday’s show.

“I have used it,” she admitted. “I’ve actually worn it one time down the red carpet … it was printed on a shirt. This was back when Nas was coming out with his album, he titled it the ‘N-Word.’”

The actress explained that she hopes people begin speaking more freely about the use of the word.

“And for me it was like, let’s put it out in the forefront,” she continued. “If it’s really uncomfortable, let’s not use it at all.”

For Dania, using the word depends on the context.

“I would say it to my friends. I have African-American friends. I don’t see a problem with it. I’ve used it talking to Spike Lee, who I worked with,” she told Billy and Kit.

Adding, “For me it’s about, if there’s really a problem with it then it shouldn’t be a part of our vocabulary, period. …Who knows, there’s always a problem with the way people use things depending on how you’re using it”

She is African descent clown. Latino is not a race, it's too bad the only thing people learn are what they are taught in school mandated by the WHITE government. WHITE people like to seperate themselves from 100% European Descendent "Latinos" so they can further push their agenda to differentiate superiority Latin are either/and/or European,Amerindian(Native American.),and black. When there were times of segregation there was the 1 drop rule. That means that by definition over 90% of Latinos would have been considered black in the segregation days.

and

.

These guys by definition are both "Latino" do these guys look like their the same race to you? Latinos are of ALL races and some are either one race or a mixture of races.
The racism in Latin America is the equivalent of a white person poking fun of another white person with red hair. In Mexico if you are black physically but you eat tacos,catholic, love your family. You're Mexican period, you will intergrate just fine into society and will have friends. People in Latin America like to tease about everything it has absolutely nothing to do with racism.

Dominicans don't want to identify with African Americans because in their eyes they are their own distinct people and it is unfortunate that African Americans fall victim to the way the Whiteman wants everyone to assimilate according to skin color. This is not the case in Latin America where people are Mexican/Puerto Rican/ Dominican first before being black/white. Most people in Latin America haven't got a clue about race because it isn't a relevant issue to the society, I am sorry guys.

Latin Americans are fukked regardless of skin color. In Mexico there are poor people with blue eyes and brown hair, point being when 90% of the country regardless of color lives in poverty, race politics really do not come in to play. Latin America has way too many problems and race isn't really a topic of peoples concern when everyone is going hungry regardless of color. Most people simply are not race conscious which I honestly think it is a blessing.

If the USA was built the right way African Americans would simply identify as Americans, however the white man wants to keep you guys seperated and black americans buy into it. The Dominican vs Haitans is more similar to the Mongolians vs the Chinese, while here it is made to look like it is Blacks vs Whites. If you do not consider Dominicans black I don't even know what to say.

it doesnt matter that no one is spinning on they heads anymore. breakdancing/graffiti/deejaying/rapping/beatboxing/beats are all the roots and fundamentals of hip hop culture. without all of that, gangster rap wouldve NEVER been born.

im not saying we created it, but we were a big part of the movement and culture in its beginnings in the bronx

You mean bystanders? You were only a peripheral part of Hip hop at best.
