Is it ok for non-black minorities to use the n-word?

[Kinggroin]

Quicker if I just reference the post:

The Latin communities proximity to or also existing as black especially in the NY area( specifically with Puerto Rican's and Dominicans/ and honestly Caribbean's in general ) is a whole other thread that needs a ton of unpacking. I know being from the area myself and being black myself i know what i hear and yes it is sometimes dismissed and ignored and in some cases can they claim it? Maybe it's a lot to unpack, but that shit ain't gonna fly with everyone. It might good in one area NY but if you really know you ain't gonna look like a fool and do it in another part that's not gonna get you or your identity or where you come from. As I said a lot to unpack and maybe we should have another thread

This is that thread.

Personally, I can understand why folks that grew up in, or still live in New York, drop the word amongst friends. But as a former NY native that's participated in the use of such language, I'd rather just leave it to history.

You?

No, why would they want to?

NO

You're not fucking black, you didn't have a black experience, I don't give a fuck about your black friends, your black neighborhood, I don't give a fuck if the song says it just shut the fuck up

Just shut the fuck up

I don't think it's even about wanting to. Just that culturally, in certain areas, the n-word became a part of everyday vernacular

Everyone wants to be Black but nobody wants to be Black.

black/latina. I do regularly with friends in private. personally, I wouldn't condemn anybody using it as a term of endearment in private.

i hear non-white, non-black kids say the word every day in the streets of NYC. how do you stop that? if they were white kids i'd have half a mind to say something but hell i'm old enough to be scared of teens now.
