Amara Legra says Gina Rodriguez absolutely has the right to use the word nikka

[Elle Driver]

cardi mom u mean I see that she looks about a quarter black cardi.

her hair curly but so are samoans and tongan and they consider asian.

but u right she got some black in her.

Here’s the thing with Latinos, the features of the hidden black grandma might not show up in the first two generations but it’ll show up in the third. It’s a throwback gene.

The argument from Latinos is that they don't call themselves spics or wetbacks.

You would have to search high and low for a Spanish genre or Latin rapper calling themselves spics or wetbacks.

We in a fuucked up situation, because when hip hop started we were the dominant or least head and shoulders largest minority. Now we are #2 minority, but one aspect of our culture is dominant, and it's the music that uses "nikka" nearly every popular song.

The situation is fuucked.

You can make the argument if she should have recorded herself, but believe they singing along to these songs not just in U.S., but around the globe. We can "check" non-black people for their 1st Amendment right to sing/rap along, but how much energy does it take. The same 1st Amendment allowed that rapper to write and record those lyrics. Ill be the first to say, I'm uncomfortable hearing non-blacks using the word with or without hip hop, but there is part of me that is also resigned to the fact, I not interested in 1) Being the "speech police" and 2) Determining based on physical appearances who can say the word...but again Im not a fan of hearing it from nonblacks.

Its a fuucked up situation.

If yall want to go around giving non-blacks ultimatums, threatening, or physically assaulting...or just saying that's not cool all the time...then do so...but it's really a question of energy. We can stop using "nikka" today, but there are hundreds of thousands of songs in the archives that generations will listen to and enjoy. At the same time, the less we use it the quicker it will go out of style. For example, when was last time singers from early 1900s was on Hot 100. So if you want a surefire way to check non-blacks then it starts with us as black people to stop using, because it gives us the moral high ground to check others degrading or insulting.

Go into East L.A. and Washingt9n Heights, stand on a corner and shout at people there as spics and wetbacks..see what happens.

We gotta stop using "nikka", but it's ingrained, that it will require a full scale cultural shift.....not happening, I don't think....so rap will continue to use it, nonblacks around the world will continue to financially support, sing along and party to it and get their hair done to it.

This just my humble opinion. Doesn't mean I'm right or wrong.

Problem is it assumes all Black people listen to hip hop

And those that dont should be subjected to hearing nikka usage by others

shyt at this point I'm listening to more rock and pop music

And other races who say nikka use it way more than Black ppl

They do it so corny

But I agree I'd be fine with Black ppl not saying it at this point if it would end

I still say it but not around other races unless it slips out

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

get mad over folks saying words you say yourselves brehs

U ok with whites and hispanics saying nikka freely just cause blacks do?

Not pro black static

Rappers/entertainers ain't shyt by the way

They will shyt on ppl for having a regular job and then give out passes to other races

And the problem with hip hop is that as a culture it's so ignorant it's no way to punish them

And I'll go further and say that at this point...the average Black person is a c00n

Were lost

Spoiler

yes

That point about black people taking responsibility for the "nikkas" they put in the music ain't the full truth.

Them music labels have folks in there that screen or get back to rappers ASAP if they talk about police or Gays. It's just Chappelle said in his last skit about using the F-word.

Both the police and LGBT... groups got power and are WS aligned against blacks. They have no problem encouraging negative perceptions or promoting.

Don't be surprised that deviant and derogatory language is calculated into the bottom line. White people want to hear tje word"Nikkas" in they songs. It's a guilty pleasure that they will pay for, just like that 'Slave play' show they tried to promote.

 

[Ricky Fontaine]

Some of yall in here dumb af.

So I gotta let spanish people call me the n-word because a rapper put it in their songs?

I really wish the dikk sucking nikkas who cosign this disrespect would wear a badge that says "You Can Call ME 'nikka'!" So they know who to try with that stupid shyt. Some of yall negroes don't deserve the skin you're in.

 

[Lord_nikon]

[GreenGhxst]

I'm tired of letting this type of shyt aggravate me

 

[GreenGhxst]

I just don't get why she's caping for this Latina. She knows better than anyone that Latinos are just as racist as cacs.
Gina Rodriguez set up a Latina meet up with other Latina actresses and celebrities. None of them were black.

Why didn't she invite Amara or other Afro Latinas because there are plenty to choose from...

This pretty much confirms to me that Gina holds animosity towards black people because we are more so focused on us and building our community

She feels left out of the equation and she's bitter because we're actually making progress and we're pushing for black business and black ownership
