And while it is important for Afro-Latinx people to be able to freely identify with Blackness and embrace that heritage, arguments like the one Fat Joe is putting forward only open the door for Latinx people like Gina to “reclaim” a word they never had any legitimate claim over, to begin with.she offended anyone with her words.
Well, the public was not having it, rejecting her attempt to reduce Black people’s outrage to a matter of opinions or personal sensitivity rather than an objectively harmful incident. Her team responded toThis one states in part just how regretful she is for her actions, and how her remorse over letting down, wait for it... the “
.” And because addressing Blackness directly is just not something she’s used to doing, she articulates the problem while once again dismissing the very people it directly impacts.within the Black community about the n-word and just how much good our supposed “reclaiming” of this it can actually do. And in moments like this, that feels like a valid point. But, one thing that shouldn’t be up for dispute, is who gets to use it. And if you ain’t Black, then that ain’t you.
That’s ridiculous. Either we all use it or we all don’t. Racism.
Stop writing it in songs I listen to.
Sorry, doesn’t work that way.
Why is this STILL a discussion?
How about not using the word at all? that is simple. how about encouraging your readers to pick up a dictionary.
AnxietyHobbit Do people still need to be told this? Unbelievable ignorance
if you don’t stop i will have questions as to why you ever started and i will not care about your answers because i’m only asking to thoroughly embarrass you in front of everyone around bc 2020 is turning me into the meanest person you have ever met when i tried to be so nice
Just write “nigger”. It’s appalling that people are afraid of using the word in a non-pejorative sense.
EVERYONE, stop saying it. Please
The fact that it even has to be said
Sometimes the song is so good you have to say it.
How about not using it period
Nickel back
I hate that f’in word.
Stop using it if you are black.
Stop using the N-word, period!If I call someone a witch with a capital (B), that not endearing or respectful just because my skin is white.
If the word causes that much pain , why can’t everyone stop using it . Why is it ok for one race to use the word and not another ?
Stop using the term white unless you are.
Maybe white people should call each other and say cracker every other word they speak like black people use the N word then we’ll be equal
Or maybe black people should stop using the n word in their music, y’all keep saying it’s for black people, but if black people are the minority and these rappers are making millions, doesnt that mean their success is due to the white people who buy their music
On a scale of 1-10 how black are you?
Blacks don’t own the word anymore than I own the words guinea or wop. Stop being ignorant and calling each other a derogatory term, if you want the word to stop being used! Until then it is free for all to use.
Stop using the n word period
i only say it when i'm not black
😗
That is so true You go girl
Blacks are the biggest racists of all.
It's ok to say it if your black. If your white....its racist. Now that's black for you. Lmao.

Young Lady, You should have some respect for your own face and not use the N!!! Word!!
Stop using it if u are black

Why do people STILL need to be reminded of this?
Paging JohnHMcWhorter
How about no one use the n word
No one should use the word regardless of color, period! It is an ignorant word and anyone who uses it regardless of color is ignorant!
Tell blacks to stop being racist and violent
100%!!! but if someone said it years ago when they were a child? like miss gina said it as a full ass adult, there's no excuse. but how are we gonna cancel everyone that said it years ago? i do not envy the famous at all
you shouldn’t even say it even if you are black
I was told only trashy people used that word, in 1964!!! Karens and Richards never use this word. Ever.
Somebody tell 6ix9ine while we’re doing this
ErinFitzgerald Can I use half the word since I'm Half Black? 🤔

LunarRoot It's sad that this needs to be a reminder

Make me
Stop using it if you’re Black or White
Sorry, if they use it - cant be too offensive.
she sang it in a song. leave her alone
All Gina is guilty of is translating a Spanish word into English in a country that hasn't learned to love & accept Blackness, self segregates and uses the 'n' word as a symbolic brown paper bag. Her culture embraces ALL the shades as ONE, N America is still mentally segregated.
FYI since y'all expected US to assimilate and learn the language how about u learn about OUR culture. We don't segregate the shades, we unified under the term People of Color and transformed the 'n' word to a term of endearment EVERYONE says without triggers.
Lmao N America doesn't own Blackness. The South been reclaimed the 'n' word into a term of endearment as 'Negrito/a'. Blackness is not a private society, it's an individual's history, heritage & identity. We been threw away our brown paper bags. Same ship, different stop.
How about all people stop using the n word. Don’t encourage young black people to use it either. It is profane word. No one should call their peers the n word.
No, it doesn’t work that way .
Really nibba?
Nope.
Latinx is an elitist 21st century umbrella term used to promote a colonialist agenda aiming to separate people of a region(USA) from the rich, and vastly different, heritage they come from. may as well just call us all Mexicans. Editors are probably dying to. Racists
why would anyone use the n-word at all though? 🧐😌
ALL Latinx are not 'white' or 'white adjacent'.
Nigga chill.
Really? It’s a word. Use at your own discretion.
How about we just stop using it all together since it’s a racial slur even if it comes out of black persons mouth.
Adamipad Stop using the nword at all, no matter who you are!
Either everyone can use it, or no one can. Any thing else is text book racism.
NYGovCuomo
Stop 🛑 using the N word period!
How about everyone stop using it and we all act like we had a proper upbringing
'and if you're black, that shouldn't be you..' the focus doesn't need to be on reclaiming some old, tired word from the past. the focus should be on envisioning and shaping that bright present and future.. GinaRodriguez teenvogue thenword ThursdayThoughts
Gina is a troll who should’ve been cancelled.
ok...is she black?
Does that go for fatjoe ?
A polite human resources representative called Walter Mosley on the phone to ask why he'd said the 'N-word' during a story meeting, he responded, 'I am the N-word in the writers’ room.'
How black do you have to be? Is there a percentage? How about we all not use the N word.
There’s not another historically rooted ethnic-racist or even gender-based slur that people argue over the right to use. We did a whole national media campaign against “that’s gay!” But “the rappers say it!” Is supposed excuse folk saying n-word and being dumb about it?!
