Love & Hip Hop Miami Fans Were Fired Up About Veronica Vega?s Use Of The N-Word
Veronica Vega defended her right to say the N-word based on where she grew up and the experiences she?s faced in life. But that doesn?t mean everyone is buying it. Some think Veronica isn?t fully grasping the complicated history of that word and why its not hers to reinvent. Some even feel she?s being hypocritical considering she told Amara to get over her Young Hollywood?s insensitive comments about her hair.

she can say it. sick of the faux outrage
She can say it
Are people legit upset over this or is just a bunch of dark skinned faux woke black women on Twitter?
Is she black or Latina?
But she's Latina :dead:
If it's any issue with her saying it y'all need to get on Fat Joe, French Monatna etc
Well they lashed tf outta J. Lo when she said it. But then nobody cared about Angie Martinez.
Sometimes u just gotta decide what and not to respond to
She?s clearly Latin and urban
Plea

I think it's more about culture than race at this point.
J.Lo only aligned herself with Black artists for personal gain - Murder Inc was like the hottest able at the time. SO her using it seems disingenuous.
Angie, Joe etc have always been a part of the "culture"

I don't agree. J Lo's from the Bronx - and she pointed out she lived (in that vidya where the old man couldn't figure out who she was :dead: :dead: ) She was def from the hood.
Castle Hill area of the BX has a mixture of Blacks and Latinos living among one another.
Puerto Ricans don't even have to apply for a pass here. They share the same space a lot of times, and many of them are clearly people of color, so they experience a lot of the same mess.
J-Lo is generally a pop artist so there's really no need for her to be using profanity at every twist and turn..which is why we didn't hear the "n" word a lot from her.
Just because Angie and Fat Joe are rappers instead of singers doesn't give them more of a right IMO. That's the only difference. It's all about where you come from. You can take someone out of the hood and "polish" them up a bit. Doesn't mean that they're not from the hood.

well J Lo was a ?Flyy Girl? on In Living Color before all of that
she?s definitely part of the culture ppl just wanna be fake woke and angry sometimes
So do you guys let non-blacks call you nigga?
Just curious.

The dynamic is so different here in NYC.
I think unless you're from here there's a lot of things you may not understand or really "get".
It's understandable - once I left NYC to live other places I was in complete shock of how big of an issue race is.

I personally wouldn?t and I don?t think they would ... but I?ve heard middle eastern ppl uses it towards each other and I had to give them the side eye. Even whypipo who ?wanna be dow? use it towards each other BUT they probably know better to say that shy in front of a black person

I agree with you and Af' to a point.
I'm not saying she hasn't earned her stripes, tbh even her early music was urban. But when she dropped the n bomb it seemed more like, "hey i'm ghetto too guys! lolz!" I can def see why people were taken aback :everythingok:
Yeah J-Lo was more of a pop girl so it was rare that she'd step into "Jenny from the Block" mode. But kwee made sure to remind people that she knows her roots. :butwait!:
I'm all for a gor who reps the hood. (If they're actually from the hood :udontlookok: )
GOD-lo from the Bronx >>>
This Veronica Vega girl's music sucks ass and is just try hard in general. Not even on a culture tip, just overall. The song sucks.
I refuse to give that word any energy tbh.
I hate the fake outrage tho.
I don't care bout Hispanics using it.
Simply because I don't use it myself in my day-to-day,day.
She sounds stupid. She doesn't get to say it.

Yeah really weird to me.
I barely hear other black people say it to me. The word isn't really in my vocabulary unless I'm singing a song.
Def not about to let a non black say it to me.
The idea of giving certain people from certain places who record certain types of music passes to use the n-word word puzzles me. Do you have to present a W2, gas bill and submit photos with black friends to get a free pass? Plea :overit:
It's a geographical thing.
If someone lives in Ohio I see why they don't get it and wouldn't "allow" a "non-Black" to use the word.
In areas like that, there's usually only White or Black people. A lot of Latinos are of mixed heritage.
Fat Joe could say he's just a light skinned Black man and no one would even blink twice about it.
His features. Clearly has Black in him.
And he could have a brother or sister with the same two parents and looks "White".
So that's where I say it's all about where you come from .
If you're not from the hood don't pretend like you are.
And I usually can tell when someone's a poser. Especially when they tell me where they're from.

That video always tears me up!!!
:kii:
Everyone is of mixed heritage, 'fro. I get what you're saying, but the argument becomes a slippery slope in that regard. I definitely think geography plays a big part in it though. Everyone in NY is a nigger tbh
I've noticed a lot of Mexicans & other Latinos here in Cali use it a lot when speaking to each other.
They basically use it the same way as Black folks.
Didn?t she say her grandmother is black?
Why did this make it pass the first page
Black folks be yelling about the wrong shit.. ?oh used the n word?
Yet they sit up comparing skin complexions, calling folks nappy headed, shooting each other up and mess..
Save it :dead:

My friends who are spanish, yes. It was more so growing up, though.
We all called EACH OTHER the "n" word. (i.e., "What's good my, n".) :dead: But this was during the late 90s, early 00's.
We don't even use the "n" word like that now, like AT ALL. It's not even a part of our vocab. :dead: It was just phased out, more diverse circle of friends (who wouldn't DARE try it :ummwhat:, etc.)
I've never had a non-black (other than spanish) person call me a 'n'.
If that ever happened...

I thought the same thing when I saw that video
Attheennuhdedey one of my best friends is Cuban. He white like milk with green eyes. However his grandma is darkskin and his dad is a mulato with obvious nappy hair.
Ppl need to stop looking at us Caribbean?s trying to pre-select who?s black enough, black at all or allowed to use the N word. AA are not the police of the N word. The same Europeans that called y?all great granny?s the N word were the same motherfuckers we had to deal with

I think a lot of people forget that Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, etc were colonized just like America was...and their people represent a mixture of the Taino Indians who were first there and raped, etc. the White men who ran the show, and the Black slaves who were brought there from Africa.
It's such a variation among the way people look because there's difference in variations of genetic mixture depending on the family history. I've seen some Puerto Ricans who can say "I'm African American" and no one would question it, and other Puerto Ricans who look like they just stepped off a boat from France.
So it depends. But I WILL say that that those who appear to be Whiter/"non-Black" side should be aware that they could face backlash for doing or saying certain things. Here in America it's all about how you look. You can't wear your family history on your forehead or carry around a sign with your ethnic percentages in the street.
People will simply look at you and draw their conclusion on what they think you are. And even if you correct them, they'll still see you the same way. So it's all about being aware that visuals are important here in the states. NOt just regarding the "n" word, but for everyone and everything here. :dead:
