U know black people got called the N word in other countries as well right? Look at Brazil for instance. All these places are manifestations of the trans Atlantic slave trade. Problem is alot of Hispanics are in denial or even flat out ignorant of their black heritage. This is where as I'm getting older. Me being a New Yorker and having no problem with them saying it when I was young cause I was raised around it. I look at them with the side eye now cause some of em be on some racist, self hating shyt but drop the n word more than black people do. Also there's plenty of afro Latinos that recognized themselves as black in the civil rights movement being that black was black to them racist ass crackas. They didnt give a fukk what ur "heritage" was. Like I said before. My problem with alotta Hispanics now is that they deny their African heritage but drop nikka left n right. To the ones who ain't in denial such as Merlin Santana, Garrett Morris, Faizon Love , etc etc. Its fine wit me. And I call Star a hypocrite cause he is. The "African american" argument is a slippery slope cause where does it end? Jamaicans, Trini's, Haitian's, Africans etc etc. Would have no right to use it either.
