I mean no disrespect.
I don't know what the glitch is with the word ******. For me, it's just a slang.
To me, a much dreadful word would be *****. But, that's just me.
That's just my point of view. I came from a country that also experience terrifying discrimination. But, our people were not discriminated against due to our color.
No word was ever used to define our being innocent, or our being the victim of the spaniards, the japanese, or the americans conquering hands.
THE PAST IS THE PAST. Our people learned to forgive. Our people learned that those things belong just in the history books.
Now, before we question who should be allowed to use those words.
WHY NOT ASK THIS.... Why are people still using it?

Cuz I guess many people believe that latinos are on the same level with African Americans more that anyone else. Like they are just as discriminated and oppressed as us and they were slaves like us and all that jive.
But Im telling you Im in the military and I've seen alot of white dudes saying that now....

It shouldn't be acceptable but I think for Fat Joe and others they can relate to blacks as far as being a minority so it doesn't seem as bizarre to them. It isn't right because no one should say but if you're thinking it doesn it really make a difference? It's kind of like being with your closest friends and being able to say it. That's how it is the the rap community. I've known white guys to say it to their black friends and they had nothing against it.

because ignorance comes in every shape,color and size. And the word they are using is a reference to ****** :which mean stupid or lazy, so grammatically speaking they are degrading themselves.

Would it be more acceptable if they were dark skinned latinos?

This is modern day America. Ignorance is widely accepted and encouraged.

Because the hispanics represent a bigger minority in the USA now then African Americans.
