NORE checks dominican content creator for saying the N word

[CodeBlaMeVi]

It’s goofy but being objective when Dominicans go to the “me no black,” I believe they are addressing that they are not Americans (FBAs) which is cool. However, they tend to toe (tow) the line when it is beneficial to be all-inclusive black.

From the movies I watch and observation of Dominican culture, rarely are they ever dismissive of their African heritage and ancestry.

You can explain it every which way. It's just gonna be acceptable enough for people here who can't relate.


Dominicans, while jovial and fun, are taught to be insular. Your friends are your family and your family are your friends. Dasit. "We all we got" is a thing for Dominicans too.


Historically, outwardly claiming your blackness in Trujillo could get you killed. Literally. That shyt was happening even after he got killed, as recently as the 80s, so claiming ethnicity first is part pride, part defense mechanism. DR in America is still relatively recent compared to other ethnic groups. The first wave of kids who moved to America are still in their 40s/early 50s at best. A whiter Dominican doesn't claim that they're white first in America. A black Dominican doesn't claim they're black first in America. Why? There's an understanding that Black and White people exist in America and they're not us. Not saying that's a bad thing. Just pointing it out. Don't call em Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Venezuelans, etc. FBA's just happen to be the ones who take it the most personally, but that's because they can't relate to someone claiming ethnicity above all. That fundamental difference is the source of a lot of bullshyt. It's a game of semantics Dominicans can't win no matter what in America, so claim DR and go about your life.


Lastly, there's no incentive to claim race over ethnicity if the plan ain't to stay long term in America. The goal is usually to come to America, make money, convert it to pesos and retire without a care in world back to DR and only come back if you got family that settled here. Unlike Puerto Ricans, becoming American is an option Dominicans don't have to take. If anything, what you get are kids born here who get dual citizenship in DR JUST in case.

I can’t respect it because he doesn’t check himself, fat Joe, didn’t check pun back in the day or any of these other rappers when nore was actually a rapper. And I know his mom was black

Nore's position has me curious as well. Seems like a recent shift in stance bc growing up in NYC, he would have had to assert the position before since historically NYC hispanics have used it

And the elephant in the room, pardon the pun, would be being Fat Joe. Need him to reconcile that for me.

Yeah. You’ll see folks say they’re Afro-Dominican on internet articles. So, they’re not distancing themselves from that but they wrap themselves in their nationality.

I’m sure there’s BS en la país when it comes skin tone variations and there is somewhat of a caste system at least 10 years ago.

that’s what I always thought when a Dominican says me no black they’re just simply saying that they’re do not have black American lineage ADOS/FBA

But over the past decade or so everybody now is black,
so them saying it now comes off as they are rejecting their ancestry, and I think only real New Yorkers of a certain age range …
only understand what they initially meant

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

You can’t be “me no black” and wanna say the N Word cause it’s trendy at the same time. Maybe that’s his point

You can't wanna legally enforce their blackness then get upset when they say the n word either

 

[spliz]

He kinda cooked your perspective at 3:35 tho

No he didn't. Lemme explain this shyt in simple terms for u. U can be black and still not be BLACK AMERICAN and not be entitled to BLACK AMERICAN reparations being that u are an immigrant to this country. I can't go to any other country and demand reparations for their ancestors so please let's not play this game.

Cap. This nikka literally in the video said he isn't black because he's happy and walks around with a smile on his face. It's some self hating c00n ass shyt and if u look at their history and how they treated the Haitians it's simple to see. Black is negative to them. Black Americans are just the most copied yet the most hated.

Im not bullying any Hispanic to claim black if they dont want to. Regardless of how brown their skin is

 

[getmoney310cpt]

Im not sure if the domicans are as anti black as the fakkit ass “NK” so cal Mexicans but I’m not around too many of them

I'm not bullying anyone it's just the facts. If they don't wanna accept it it's on them. But regarding u saying he cooked my point. He didn't whatsoever.

 

[The War Report]

Dominicans are nothing but some light skin nikkas. The flag and culuture supersedes everything and people don’t get that. And don’t get it twisted colorism is a big thing in the island and class lines are based on that.

what exactly did I say is cap?

I wasn’t referring to the video I didn’t watch the video posted … so I have no idea who that individual is
I’m just going off on personal experience and like I said, the confusion only started about a decade or so when everybody claim to be black

 

[Mr.bocario]

Man shut up. People are in the comments acknowledging their roots and your here saying "yea right"

Dominicas dont run around saying their white either. We dominican. Thats it. You want to get into my genetic make up then yes im 45% african 40% european the rest indigenous/taino

Not even in spanish does anyone ever say "white or black dominican". We never had a jim crow era, no white and black bathrooms etc. We had a racist dictator almost 100 years ago. Thats it.

Miss me with the crybaby shyt, only in america are people obsessed with color

Dominicans are just super proud of our culture, flag and country. We are obnoxious with it. We will always say dominican before blaxk or white

Don’t forget yall like to knockdown yall thick azz cousins too

Fat Joe has defended his usage by saying he’s black.
