Can Latinos Say the "N" Word?

The "n" word is controversial, it can be used casually as a term of endearment amongst friends or be one of the gravest insults if used by the wrong person in the wrong context. The question is, who can say the "n" word? Are Latinos exempt?? Watch to find out.

You know that whole 600 year time period when White Europeans were buying and selling Black Africans as chattel? And remember how that whole system was enforced by a violent system of repression whereby Black slaves who did not act the way the White folks wanted them to were beaten and murdered? Oh, and remember that time after slavery when Black people were locked in a system called Jim Crow that used a similar fear of violence and repression to keep Black people in “their place?” Well, in the midst of all that shit, there was a word invented by White people as a pejorative for Black folks. And it was used just about every time a Black person was whipped, chained, beaten, insulted, spat upon, raped, lynched, or otherwise humiliated and mistreated by White folks. Thus, I really don’t care how much White folks want to use that word. I don’t care how unfair you think it is that someone else gets to use it when we don’t. Our people gave up the privilege to use that word the moment we invented it as a tool of oppression.

Latin is NOT a color. As a white latina (from Brasil), I feel like when you say that latin people can say the N-word, you are allowing a lot of white and asian people to say it too. Brazil is a big example of how latin is not a race. There are literally EVERY RACES in here and we are all latinos, so are you really sure latin people can say it?

[@rodolfoleiva8328]

MrOktoberfest 00 Language evolves in different ways depending on history and culture. In the US the N-word evolved to have an offensive meaning towards African Americans. In Latin America there was also slavery but in my opinion it wasn't as bad as it was in the states in most places. In the US racism continued after slavery with segregation and lynching making the word much more hurtful. You can't just diss on the way a culture uses a word without understanding that word's roots and history.

[@YourDeadSister]

WhatTheHeck Don't you dare say that America doesn't deal with "real racism" while people of African descent (like myself) are still being publicly murdered by our government on a daily basis, Natives are being pushed further out of their homelands and murdered as well (along with being afforded much less opportunities to succeed educationally and financially based on the color of our skin.

For example, during Jim Crow, they were obligated to undergo the same segregation.

One very important difference in the discrimination, unfortunately, is that very often Afro Latinos have to endure the discrimination from certain African American racists as well.
