Gina Rodriguez is catching heat from Black Twitter for saying ‘N!gga’ on IG...

[Revolver Ocelot]

Fuck her and her PR team. Blacks and Hispanics are not treated same, if they were, then they wouldn't be called "spics" "wetbacks" and other names. They would be called niggas, monkeys, etc.

We are not in the same boats, in fact, they have more rights than Black ppl.

If 5 Hispanics etc were at a park and a white person rolled up on them, that white person or any non-black person would not call them niggas

If 5 blacks were at a park and a white person rolled up on them, hell anybody, they would be called niggas and not "wet backs" or spics

Here's where your analogy falls short. You can have 5 Latinos in one spot but because only 1 or 2 may look what people think a latino looks like then those others are very well susceptible to being treated by what people think they are. I get called nigga before spic because to ignorant people because latinos only look like J Lo or Gina Rodriguez people don't know I'm Latino unless I say it or they hear me speaking spanish. That's why these debates are often futile because folks group latinos together as a race despite being told multiple times the latino on its own isn't a race.

I disagree.

 

[ghostdenithegawd]

This a complete bullshit statement.

Can call you nigga cause you think yall cool and together but don't want niggas fucking with their women.

Can call you nigga cause you think you cool but when all that together shit you talking falls to shit and don't exist when black and spanish folks go to jail and prison. Where all that togetherness go?

Yall niggas sad and continue to go for anything. Refuse to learn from the past and continue making the same mistakes of just letting any and everybody in what we as black people doing. When that is NEVER returned to us.

Yall got it though. Let them call you nigga if that's how you feel.

Me personally I just ain't rocking with no BLACK person who allows someone who is not black to call them nigga. Stay over there and I'll stay over here.

Sound like some angry I only live on the internet bullshit

Nigga watches too much crime shows where Jewish people play vatos if I'm telling you where I'm from every bangs together same way regardless who the fuck are you? I gotta post pictures of people I know in those various bullshit scenarios to prove a point I can

Nigga really said what happens when we get locked up together and yall clapped and ate that stupid shit up like dumbasses

Idk wat butthurt u developed from latins where u live but but over here we are brothers niggas not letting them say "nigga" for cool points niggas stay wanting to play hotep on the internet and ignore what I'm saying

 

[Dwayne]

Being called a spic or wetback is a insult though. An insult is an insult not matter what

 

[BlackRain]

I disagree.

You can't really disagree with a fact...thats why it's a fact. Latinos look different wven among bllood relatives let alone random people.

Addressed absolutely nothing said cause you couldn't.

Continue being the sucka you are over there and I'll be over here laughing you and every other sucka who allows that shit.

Just exposed yourself to how fucking dumb you are to take anything I said as persona when I don't give a fuck about you or anybody who care about you.

Just know you can die right in front me and I'd spill my drink stepping over your dead body and keep it moving. Your life means less to me than the shit at the bottom of my shoe

LLS niggas swear they tough like tough guys don't die either.

 

[mryounggun]

I understand anyone who feels a way about this shit. But if I'm being honest, I - and WE - got SOOOOOO much ore important and pressing shit going on at the moment than some hispanic woman saying nigga.

It's gotten to the point that I really only have so much outrage left in me and I guess I'm saving that shit for the black people being shot by police for nothing in their own homes and shit like that.

But if you feel a way about, I get it.

No it's not, but I'll let you believe that it is.

Again, I disagree with all what you said

EXACTLY! Bigger fish to fry. Like I said earlier. If we erased this from ever happening again (a Hispanic person saying nigga while rapping along to a song), have we helped ANYONE? No... not worth worrying about then. If we cut down on police violence lots of lives can be saved... worth worrying about.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

You're mixing two different points. In the first, I was telling people to stop stereotyping. In the second, I was making the point that the Latin part doesn't really mean much. If you are someone who believes that whites are racist in general, then there should be no distinction between a white Latina and a regular Becky.

If some black people are outraged or even bothered by it. How can you say if it never happens again its helped nobody? It would obviously help the people get outraged or bothered by it.

I get the sentiment you have over it but it would help somebody.

 

[Reem]

Most Hispanics identify as white anyhow or at least try to, lean to the white side.

I wouldn't go that far. It would help a lot of people. the people who are legitimately offended by this prolly. Just ME PERSONALLY, I can't muster up much outrage over this. But shit, some people have way more outrage left within them than I do. They can spread that shit around equally.

I get what you're saying. I just don't count that as real help. Especially when looking at an issue like racism, which can have serious negative consequences.

I feel like this is a prime example of being distracted by some ol bullshit. There's real problems out here and people are mad about something that honestly didn't seem malicious at all IMO. But this is where the time and attention are going.

 

[DMorgan]

Also slights can be addressed without calling it outrage.

I also think because of the position that black people are in we can't let even the slightest shit slide. Letting shit slide no matter how small when you at the bottom leads to a lowering of standards and then even more things are allowed to slide in over time.

Folks is right everything doesn't need outrage but all slights should be addressed.

You not mad over this as well as many other people. Some of those people who not mad are at this very moment addressing those other real problems you talking about. While the people who are mad at this are addressing this real problem to them.

Neither group is wrong IMO

 

[Stomp Johnson]

I honestly still dont know what this chick does or why shes semi-famous. But I be on Twitter a bit and it seems that this chick has been pretty unpopular wit black folk for years--(particularly wit the sistas)--for sayin anti-black shit.

She seems to float in the "All lives matter," lane of things.

So the controversy to me seems not that a latina said nigga, but that THIS particular bitch said it.

With how rough life is in general I don't even count this as help, unless that clip really hit someone hard mentally. And if that happened, they've lived a pretty easy life, and need to toughen up. Had she said it maliciously, I'd agree it's a bigger deal. On the list of issues this exact one is EXTREMELY low imo.

I get what you're saying. It's just not what I'd look at as true help.

True. I just figure with issues (in order of importance) 1 - 500 available. Why spend much, if any, time or energy on 501. Or if they view it as higher, I'd like to better understand the negative impact they feel it's creating.
