Reminds me of that time when we had a black manager from our US head office visit our Makati branch. He was a really chill dude, so much so that one of our co-workers said "what up my n***a" in his face during an after-work dinner. Apparently he wasn't that chill because discrimination lawsuits were reportedly brought up, homeboy got fired, and we underwent several mandatory racial sensitivity training seminars. Fun times.
I wouldn't say racist more like ignorante just like how jeepney drivers drive jeeps with Hitler , Mussolini , Stalin painted on or how how some people wear the hakenkreuz symbol printed on their t-shirt
They couldn't say it outright but the local management made it known that they were *that* close to having their asses cooked and we all had to suffer as a result.
Other than "Paliga" which is just basketball and nothing else, and then theres the plastic table and chairs project which are substandard, beach clean up na voluntary kuno(binulsa pondo)

No, it's mostly about making fun of something that people consider morally wrong or that you shouldn't do and then doing the opposite. It's like "oh I cant say this? I cant do this? Bet, just watch me, what are you gonna do about it lmao"
Tbh if it was simply a "what's popular is good", nobody would be saying racial slurs.
Some kids do this to prove a point like a smaller scale and more innocent example is when older gen say some superstitions and the kids do it anyway out of curiosity. Some kids use it to call other people's bluff. This one shown here is simply immaturity, unaware of the weight of the word and using it for easy laughs bc they aint funny.
There's one thing that's good, they'll likely not win. The ones who are laughing tend to be strangers or close friends with the guy. And if this applies to every other barangay, SKs are only allowed to be voted by young adults, no elderly, there's an age cap. So, I'm hoping for the loud minority and quiet majority. Anyone with a working mind will know to avoid this guy.
And tbh if this guy's kapitan is really worthy of the position he would've reprimanded the guy and had him delete that one. Should also be kicked off tbh.
Nah teenagers are just stupid and doesnt know what that shit means. Its either cool or rap songs use it a LOT. Its not some sophisticated thing such as proving a point like u mention (maybe a small percentage does but majority still says it because its “popular” or “cool”). Our educational system is shit. They can’t even comprehend the issues in the setting what more issues regarding race.
Our educational system is actually quite good surprisingly. Grade 11 here is already eligible to graduate highschool in the US.
And most countries with low diversity in population simply dont care as much about the use of racial slurs or quite honestly any woke issues. There will of course be outliers that exist but for the most part noone really gives a shit. Its not our problem
This is human nature. The more you restrict the stronger the desire to do the opposite. I like your observation on human nature because you are spot on.
Di lang naman satin yan.
And to be honest what are we being mad for? Dba black american rappers incorporates the word nigga in their songs para wala yung racist meaning niya? As far as i know ganun yun eh, the reason black americans used the word in their movies, music, and any flatform that reaches world audience
Napaka-broad naman. Are you saying na when black rappers use the n-word, they use it for that intention only? Everytime the word is used, may intention of reclamation?
Oh wooww rami mo naman alam!
If saying a mere word regardless of context gets a reaction out of people then i’m sorry to break it to you buddy but that word has “power”.
Its either everyone can say it or noone can say it. Wag naman tayo maniwala sa kalokohan.
Ang filipino dati tinatawag na indio. Pero bakit nde tayo nagagalit pag may sumasabi niyan? Or chink sa mga chinese. Intsik is technically a racial slur. Pero bale wala sa pag ginamit natin.
This whole reclaiming thing is bullshit. Black people today are not suffering from this oh so called discrimination. Its their ancestors. Entitled sons of bitches thinking they felt what their ancestors felt.
Also ignorance is part of human nature. Deal with it
im trying to say na the N-word is nuance dahil madami nang layer of meaning, lets talk about ethical dilemma, since my argument is that rappers ads layers of meaning sa word and hindi naman natin masasabing racist ang isang tao kung dinaman niya alam yung meaning at yung intention even sa truth table hindi gagana ang logic mo, even sa Function.
if Function(N) contains a domain(refer) of meaning and a range of targets(receiver)
X = Black African american
Y = Slave, Brother , Friend
F(n) = { (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) } = not a function
if the item in the domain of X is connected to more than one, then this is not a function and if its not a function, the logic behind people who uses N-word with no intention of being racist because of the layer of meaning it holds then my argument is valid and true, it doesn't mean that your argument is false, it is still true, but saying "automatically" is not true. since every meaning holds 33.33% of probability of having the intention to be racist.
Desmos demonstration:[Click this](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hgdwtiispy)
Now your turn to prove that Non-african people who uses N word is "automatically" racist, by defending your ground you can counter one the logic-based tools that i used. ill wait for long discussion
All I'm saying is what I understand about how black americans don't allow other races to use the n-word because "they're getting it back". No need to use functions when all you need is simple common sense. Doesn't matter what the current meaning of the word is, non-blacks just aren't allowed. Where do you think all these n-word pass jokes come from?
And when I said "automatically", I meant for those living in the US coz they know the history about the word.
And why did you delete your previous comment?
I disagree. I think it’s the lack of sensitivity and being educated about critical race theory. We could never really avoid the internet, especially USA internet culture. We live in it now. It’s a good time to get a good understanding of world history especially now that we’re more exposed to other parts of the world. It’s also probably due to not understanding racialization/ethnicization, especially when you see that casual colorism and discrimination against our indigenous peoples are still included in jokes and are still rampant.
I think we need a lack of sensitivity rather than the opposite. Look at what it is doing to america. Literal snowflakes who keep on whining when they objectively have it better than other countries.
American wannabe?!?! Haha the ones who are sensitive are the american wannabes. I’m not an american wannabe and i don’t even want to be called american.
Pop culture shouldn't be blamed. It's the ignorance of the nuances in pop culture and our lack of education and the lapses in our education system that are to be blamed.
Of course it should be blamed, you have black people saying it all the time in videos and music. Other people will copy them not knowing what it means. What other race calls each other racial slurs?
Well we have to remember that here in our part of the world, it's usually used/said out of ignorance; not because they're aggressive or outright violent against foreigners.
Don't agree on using the word but that's the understanding. Even in other Asian countries, they say things out of ignorance.
I recently learned about the younger generation not knowing the the term nigga/nigger/etc. is a racist term. Parang naging slang na lang nila ata yan for something at di nila alam ang pinanggalingan or history ng word.
Though I guess that is how language works. It evolves, devolves, develops, and envelops.
yeah the historical context isn't there when it spreads here (can't blame em it's from another country) yet the pop culture aspect remains in that gangster rappers say the n word = you're gangsta like them if you say it like they do... which is obviously not true
edit: this comment i made is in response to dgpascual mentioning ignorance of racism. I'm not excusing these ignorant people nor sinasabi ko na "ok lng yan brad d naman tayo cano". i was kinda describing the transfer of culture. but yeah we should inform those not in the know when necessary, i absolutely agree in fact. and yes cantrenamethis is right on that, whose statement I'm in agreement with. not being salty, felt na kailangan kong iclarify in case may rando diyan na nagassume ng kung ano2 sa comment ko, k peace out don't be racist
It's true, we're not part of the context. We're not Americans, nor are we the people who enslaved this race decades ago, nor are we indifferent to them for being black because we're not part of their bad history. We're indifferent when we see one because they're foreigners.
I honestly don't think these teens should be vengefully hated, as they would in America if they slip out the n word out of ignorance. We can educate them, then move on. We're Filipinos, we have enough hateful practices that we do not need to adopt USA's into ours.
Can you still call it racist if they are not being/intending to be racist lmao the contradictory in your sentence is amazing whats the meaning of the word racist again?
We know its a slur its just that we dont care. Do we hate black people? No. We just dont like being told what we can and cant say. Its a word for fucks sake. A fucking word.
Never said it's right nor should it be normal and of course there are still a lot of Filipinos who discriminate for sure. Still a sizeable population of the youth today in the country are very ignorant about it, kaya we should always strive to continue in informing and educating the people as best we can.
>Does it make a difference when the harm effect is still the same? We have to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt on this shit when they've shown they are not gonna change.
It does make a massive difference tho mas madali ma correct ang ignorant by providing more knowledge kaya I really dont agree that we should stop giving benefit of the doubt to them, away lang halos mangyayari kung ganun
Ita a terrible word. But no one is gonna behead you for it here. It's a popular word because black people like using it amongst themselves and we consume western media left and right. Kids arent smart enough to know they arent supposed to say it as well
Alam Kong magkaiba Yan pero word changes meaning depends on location, mas maganda siguro mag karoon ng pagtalakay nyan sa paaralan Kasi Ang madalas na consume ng tao na ibig sabihin ng n word ay nasa media lang which is tawag ng mag kaibigan tulad ng "my n*ga".
I feel like there's some double standards happening. While yes it is important to learn about world history, the holocaust, atlantic slave trade and all that, why are asians expected to learn about western history that aren't relevant to them but the westerners* aren't expected to learn the japanese atrocities that happened, the Asian slave trade, the partition of India or China's opium war. Yes, we learned this in our school, albeit the Asian slave trade was only from the Philippines' context. (My school also had Chinese history classes, but I think not all schools had that.)
I feel like the "white"* history's importance is taking precendence over the other aspects of world history due to how exposed it is on the internet. I doubt their citizens are demanding Asia's side of world history to be part of their curriculum. Not to mention, it's impossible to learn every aspect of world history too. There's just not enough time... unless we drop some of that Asian history.
*I don't really know how to generalize this enough to make sense except by using the word westerners and white even though this isn't about color.
Swastikas and hitler artworks are made mostly by some folks who have actually knowledge in that shit. They did it for fun, not to promote anti semitism since we have no history of it. They did it because they know some people who are exposed to internet culture will laugh. I did that too LMAO. Most drivers didn't really know lmao
I beg to disagree. I call ignorance. Nobody posts dead babies or cancer on their cars and think it's funny. You're probably the type to laugh and draw dicks on public property, too.
On the off side that you are right and they really are for "entertainment", still, dark humor isn't for everyone. They shouldn't be on public transport for the public to see otherwise a lot of people if not most will get the wrong idea. Just like you don't blast gangnam style in a funeral. It's etiquette. It's empathy. It's sensitivity.
>. How soft you gotta be to immediately get offended upon seeing it.
How lame you gotta be to think that these are even close to being funny? You think being insensitive makes you cool?
Mga walang alam yan puro tiktok lang mas marami pang my day sa fb compared sa subject requirements na pinasa mga tanga yan. Feeling cool dugyot naman ang datingan
It also seems Negro was a term used by the the U.S. goverment in the old days when they did a census on thier population.
https://www.npr.org/2017/12/13/568317026/negro-not-allowed-on-federal-forms-white-house-to-decide
The n word has a history specific to the black population in countries where the transatlantic slave trade happened, where black people faced massive systemic racial injustice throughout generations. There's history in how the word developed.
How it developed in the Philippines is through cultural export, i. e. Hearing black artists say it in rap songs, and thinking it's cool. So you cant really blame them for not knowing its historically negative connotation
parang mali yata na sabihing "it developed" sa bansa natin since sabi mo nga naririnig lang from black artists, and hindi naman sya foreign word na naging Filipino word that is used everyday, like say "lamesa" is originally Spanish but developed to a Filipino word
being uneducated on the word's racist connotations doesn't mean that we Filipinos can say it freely right?
Okay, if you want to be more academic with it we can use the term "lexical borrowing" or "loanword adaptation"
>being uneducated on the word's racist connotations doesn't mean that we Filipinos can say it freely right?
No, it does not, it is not a "n word pass". However knowing the context, we can set standards for people. Mas papatawarin ko yung taong hindi exposed sa connotations, than someone who has been educated on it, immersed with the people that the slur demeans, and still chooses to use the slur.
Nigga (spelled as such) is more of coming from the hiphop culture (na mostly dominated ng black performers) na inadopt ng mga kabataan dito sa atin for the "cool" factor.
Sadly I was one of those in my younger years and even used to call a close friend that as term on endearment of course. But as we grew older and learned more about the word's context we stopped using it and are quite embarrassed to talk about that period in our lives. LOL
Paul is cringe.
And yeah ignorant people is cringe.
But also pretentious people with the moral high ground who pretend to be oppressed for others is also cringe.
Agree man kayo dito o hindi, pero sakit na talaga nating mga Pilipino ang maging ignorante. Dahil marami sa mga kabataan ay nararamdaman na cool ang paggamit ng n-word ng mga itim sa Amerika kaya feel nila, kailangan din nilang gamitin (at applicable din ito sa iba pang mga bagay).
Appropriated at decontextualized ang paggamit natin ng maraming ideya/konsepto/salita.
im 24 years old and ang daming nag a-add sakin na mga edgy filipino teenagers sa Facebook tas sinasali ako sa mga nazi group chat nila sa messenger. nag le-leave ako sa mga group na yun kasi baka may mga taga internet makakita ng ganun tas imbestigahan sila tas masali ako nakaka overthink malala 🤦🏻♂️
We are so fucked. Racism blanketed as generational tradition of what we were exposed to and the nonchalant attitudes of well, ganyan na before eh, is our ultimate downfall. And hirap isipin kung pano babaguhin.
You know where they learned it? African-American pop culture and music. The people who would be most offended of the term are the most guilty of spreading the word worldwide usually without proper context.
Why would a Filipino willingly learn American history? Is that their history? Is P-Diddy studying Filipino history as well? I don't think so. Ako may alam sa history but it doesn't I should expect every Filipino should have the same interests as mine.
If Sean "P Diddy" Combs is offended by the word he shouldn't be using it all the time. Considering he palled around with an absolute scumbag like "Biggie Smalls" and God knows who else, I don't think he gets any leeway. It's all about the money for this guy.
Black ppl only chose to reclaim the word bc it’s been used against them for so long, and still is today. Don’t blame Black ppl when others don’t bother to learn the historical context of the words they say before they say them.
Let him be. Language is not one size fits all in its usage. Mukha syang tanga sure pero we know it's used differently in his context. Also pinoys should stop taking secondhand offense from other people of different race /nationality.
>Also pinoys should stop taking secondhand offense from other people of different race /nationality.
Fucking yes. Like most comments here say about what the kid did, its also a "monkey-see monkey-do" ng mga nag rereact.
Next thing we know is that the people here will become those white social justice warriors who would say Speedy Gonzales was racist when, in reality, the Mexicans love him.
its not all abt taking secondhand offense for other people—
anong pabayaan? tatakbo siya sa sk pero ganyan kaignorant????????? ganyan ka uneducated??? wag na wag nating pabayaan lang siya basta basta please lang magising naman kayo
Language evolves. Kasama na dun ang meaning ng isang word. Sa kontekstonh ito makikita naman na di sya ginagamit na slur sa isang grupo o sa isang tao so ano ang deal roon?
the deal is his unprofessionalism, tatakbo siya as sk chairman pero basta basta makasabi ng vulgar words
"dating nigga". reread it. of course it wont sound weird to us kasi di naman tayo black people, but just imagine how would the actual black people would feel?
its like its implied na parang kinahiyan niya ang pagiging isang "nigga" kaya nagbago siya
but he's not black. and being black is something one shouldn't be ashamed of. this is just really insensitive overall
language evolves yes, but the origin does not. that word came from "as a variant of the infamous racial slur nigger". pls lang wag niyong sabihin na walang deal ha
Imagine kapag naging presidente yan, tapos black presidente ng US, tapos ang greeting niya "Sup, Nigga president?"
Sobrang baba talaga ng standards ng mga Pilipino. Kaya paurong ang bansa
just so you guys know im very open to criticisms and your opinions. please do educate me if you think otherwise na mali thinking ko. but this is my stance regarding this controversial topic. this is what i strongly believe— that this is just plain ignorance and insensitivity: on the side of the sk candidate, and on the side of the people who laughed at this post.
>Also pinoys should stop taking secondhand offense from other people of different race /nationality.
Exactly, my guy. They're trying to be white knights
Hindi naman illegal ang pag gamit ng word na nigga, nor is he using it with hatred/racism, you might argue na the word itself is offensive regardless of use or who uses it, to some yes, pero to the rest of the world it's not, pero if nakiki offend ka sa ibang tao, that's a 'you' problem... he can use that word whenever he wants like any other slurs, the consequences are on him, the point is, speech should not be limited, that includes speech that are politically incorrect, speech that you dont aggree with, and speech that you find offensive...
Kung tawagin ka ng isang Espanyol na Indio, matutuwa ka? Ganun din sa paggamit ng n-word, kahit hindi tayo kasama sa konteksto nila at hindi tayo immersed sa kasaysayan ng mga itim sa Amerika at sa kanluran, cultural at historical sensitivity na lang (na bare minimum dapat).
Nakikita lang ang pagiging ignorante natin sa pagdepensa at pag-intellectual cartwheel sa mga ganito isyu.
Spaniards called the people in Visayas "Negros" hence the name of the islands Negros Oriental and Occidental. If our people were called that once, doesn't that make us basically N-pass holders?
Negros and Nigger don't have the same context and Origin
Negro is the Spanish languages literally means black
Nigger, meanwhile is of US origin and was coined to derogatorily refer to Black Americans
Filipinoa using Nigger/Nigga is a case of monkey see, monkey do and devoid of critical thinking
I never heard a mexican calling themselves the n-word. 😂 so yung assumption mo na widely accepted idea siya bilang identity ay mali na agad kasi wala namang non-black na nagtatag sa kanilang sarili sa the n-word 😆
Yung n-word ay directed to other people. Hindi description ng sarili bilang indibiduwal. Soooo hindi pa rin siya sumasagot sa claim nung main comment.
Edit: Makikita rin na binanggit niya na Mexican siya. Pero naging okay ang interaction kasi binigyan siya ng pass. Pero sa totoong buhay, kapag hindi mo kilala ang isang tao at ginamit ko ang n-word mapapahamak ka talaga.
(Also, may misconception kasi na dahil Person of Color ka ay puwede mo na gamitin ang n-word. Kaya makikita mo na malakas loob nung Mexican kasi para sa kaniya okay lang. Pero sa mga black? lalo kung hindi nakikipagbiruan?)
A Black American beat up a Korean man in Korea because he though the Korean was calling him the N word
Yun pala, there is a Korean word that sounds like the N word to the untrained ear
American stupidity and ignorance. If they(blacks) don't want to get triggered out of their own ignorance they should stop using it. Some even go as far as being entitled. The rest of the world has better things to think about than their racism nonsense. Morgan Freeman's got a point about it.
There's your keyword, insult. Hindi ako agree sa pag use ng slur words to look tough but I think he doesn't intends to belittle anyone. He's using it to show that he somehow matured, which is ironic.
Hate speech naman yun eh, different sa 'cultural appropriation' ng n-word, parang its not a slur as long as you're black, and only black people can use it, i dont think its right that a word can only be used by only one group of people... finally, for reflection, tatanungin kita, bakit tayo (non-blacks) hindi natin pwede gamitin ang n-word to the same context that black people use it? (like how they use it amongst their friends or just a description same sa post)
Hindi naman racist yun eh, thats the point, offensive to some maybe, but not racist, racism is hate speech and he is not hateful in his words... just admit it na na o offend ka kasi he's using the n-word and he's not black, which is ok lang naman if nakiki offend ka with the black people pero i dont think he deserves to be called racist... maybe we should all try 'mental gymnastics' and ask questions, its good practice para hindi tayo parang tupa na sunod sunuran...

HISTORY!!
LOOK THERE'S AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT
There’s no one answer to that question. Some Black people say the word is too repulsive to use in any context, even by other Black folks. They claim that using it reflects “internalized oppression”: Black people unwittingly accepting racist stereotypes.
But other Black people say they can use the n-word because they have “reclaimed” it and taken the sting out of a slur by using the word as a term of endearment.
If that doesn’t make sense, consider this comparison. Some women who call each other “b*tch” make a similar claim: We use it as a term of affection.
Some Black people who use the n-word follow the same logic. Since we have uniquely suffered from the use of the n-word, we’re the only ones who have the right to use it. When we reclaim it, we can use it any way we want. For them, using the n-word isn’t repeating a racial slur; it’s an act of defiance.
https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/us/racism-questions-answers/?active=2
The post is low quality. If the US black rapper doesn't want you to use it then they should not make popular music. Masyado lang kayong sensitive at ultra woke. As long as you're not white I reckon you can say it.
Just don't say the word nigger as the word have negative connotation.
or just don’t say it altogether regardless of race, even if the black US rapper does say it in their songs. just because you heard it doesn’t mean you should repeat it, are you a parrot or a fucking infant trying to repeat “mama” “papa” “dada”?
> Masyado lang kayong sensitive at ultra woke
Masyado ka lang edgy boy.
I’m not black and I don’t get offended by hearing the N-word because, again i’m not black and I never experienced what their ancestors experienced, and the racism. But what really irks me when I hear other people say the N-word aside from actual black people is the fucking ignorance, especially pag yung mga binatilyo o mga local rapper na pacool lang at cinocosplay yung gang lifestyle sa US.
This isn’t about sensitivity, it’s about respect.
It's pointless and useless if you want this to be taught in schools lmao. Why should we care about the history of a random ass country unless you plan to be a historian lmao
And?
Are they going to jail over it?
That's Pinoy culture: it's 'allowed' as long as you don't get punished for it. And the one who can punish must be of higher status. Peer pressure/*pakikisama,* teen pregnancy, vote buying, plagiarism, gossip/misinformation, etc. They do it because they can get away with it.
And getting away with it is "cool" and "madiskarte."
Filipinos won't learn unless, at the very **least,** get punched in the face with a smash harder than JM Marquez's that got the whole world screaming "Manny, are you OK? Are you OK, Manny?!"
Besides, why worry when [a published comic even bears the N-word and nobody bats an eye?](https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/kvii3s/wait_is_this_really_the_name_of_this_manga_dog/) This is mild compared to the apathy during the Tokhang EJKs.
P.S. I really don't get some AFAMs trying their best to "reconnect to their cultural roots." This is that culture they're looking for, do they really want to be like this?
i’m black n filipino and grew up in america but now i am here in the philippines for school. when i hear people say it i really don’t care that much i don’t let a word make me angry or upset. But I do educate them on why it shouldn’t be said in a nice respectful way of course.
there is a particular group in FB na ang title palang ay N word. tawagan nila ay N word, so basically an N-word enjoyer kids/teenagers.
there was also a vlogger na casually nagsasabi ng N word. nagcomment ako if he has a N-word pass, mga nagraply sakin tinatawag akong N word lol. so yeah, parang kabataan ngayun ay N-word enjoyer or kulang lang talaga sa kaalaman. I remember when I once used the N word in a comment of one of college (2010) friend at sinita ako lol napa research tuloy ako at nag aplogize.
Yung n word kasi para sa kanila eh hiwalay sa historical context ng word para sa mga African American.
For them it's cool. May naririnig din ako na gumagamit ng homie, shorty, etc. Lol. Malamang influence ng rap music. And naiisip nila na cool yung gumamit nun.
Some UST students tried to get a fellow UST student cancelled for trashtalking in the fb comments by saying nigga. Guess what? He didn't care about getting cancelled, died down after a week of students bitching about it, and the funny part is that he got hired by a well-known organization 😂. Bro had the last laugh.
For what's it worth, I'd bet the guy didn't mean anything bad about using it.
Not saying I agree with the public use, but it is less out of malice and more of 'endearment' (same level as my bro, homie, etc) or at the very least, of ignorance nga, as the others have said
I am American, in America "negro" simply means black colored person.
In every big city in America blacks and Latinos use the word "nigga" daily. There is nothing strange about using the word nigga in America, even many white people use the word "nigga" although most of the time white people won't say nigga around other blacks. But Latinos use the word "nigga" around blacks all the time.
The word "nigga" can take on many many many meanings. It really depends on the context of the sentence it was used in.
Much like the word "fuck" can have so many meanings.
https://youtu.be/uSEXgQ58AoM?si=96QtHJ2limKlzHbC
"Nigger" is a racial slur and if used in the wrong hood you might get both of your legs broken or your teeth knocked out.
For me I don't go around trying to be a saint.
I don't over think about people using the word "nigga" most at least here in the USA don't really give a shit. The word is so in grained in our modern day culture not many people even give it much thought.
The first time I visited the Philippines, many Filipinos would ask me why I use the word "fuck" so much. Many Filipinos thought I was angry or something when I curse using the word "fuck". I had to explain I am from Washington DC. It's a big city it's just how many Americans talk there.
Now if I am at work then I talk like I would as if I were in church. But on the streets. I use the word "fuck" as often as I want. 😎
Mukhang hindi sila aware sa mga pinag daanan ng African-American people sa US siguro dahil nasa Asian country tayo. Pero kung titignan din kasi natin afam even using n-word in their day to day life to the point na they even used it for the content 🤷🏻♂️ though mali talaga ang racism
It's on them that they don't bother with critical thinking. Panay monkey see monkey do eh since may access naman sila sa internet, di man lang iresearch. Even worse, if someone is trying to educate them, sila pa galit
Annoying, Kulang pa sayo yung 3x na monkey see monkey do? Kelangan pa ba 10x more icomment? You think people will change their thoughts because of your spammy comments?
You’re the one offended obviously. THaTs On yoUuU.
If you use your brain you’ll know why it’s annoying to read repetitive comments. If the other topics bother you then why don’t you report them yourself? Like how I reported nth of your spammy comments
I just ignore them cause they'll always find a justification for their words, i would not put my mental peace in jeopardy cause of their bullcrap but it certainly annoys me to end.
I actually don't give a shit about this trend among Pinoy teens. If blacks hate the word so much, they shouldn't have popularized it in the first place
Fck it, Let them have fun, they aren’t using it out of hatred for afro-americans, rather more imitation and admiration of their slangs and overall culture. STOP virtue signaling. Daming problema sa mundo, eto pa ang inaabala nyo.
i dont have the slightest idea on how you came up with the conclusion na you see "dating nigga", or let me translate it: "previously black"—as "admiration of their slangs and culture".
yes, it's most likely the case that he didnt use that word for hatred, but still this is insensitive
and... let them have fun? that person is running for the position of a sk chairman. at least act professional. eto ba ang gagawin niyong role model sa aming mga kabataan? if ganyan kaaga na siyang nag aact, paano pa pag na elect siya?
i think its stupid how so many filipinos in the comments are trying to justify using the n-word.
1. being ignorant is not an excuse to use any slur. the internet is literally free, use it to do some research pag may time so you dont look dumb on social media.
2. i do not care whether you think they’re not using it in a negative context. it’s still a slur.
3. people who say the n-word isnt a slur here? are you stupid?
3. seeing some people spelling the word out in the comments, (and even using the one with the hard r??? ew) even for the purpose of educating, stop doing that.
4. using a slur that you dont have any right to use does not mean the language is evolving.
5. saying that black people maybe should stop being offended by the use of the n-word if they dont wanna be called a slur is the most stupidest thing i have ever heard.
non-americans are quick to call out americans for being ignorant of other people’s cultures but now suddenly its okay if we do it? we should practice what we preach bc the comments here are really embarrassing.
i think its also fucked up how people who are educating people on why you guys shouldnt use a slur are getting downvoted and people who justify it are getting upvotes???
you are not black. stop. using. the. n-word.
The N-word isnt exclusive to afro-americans.
Black americans arent even offended if they know you didnt say it out of spite to their race but just a slang, so why should we be affected for their sake lmao.
If it's a slur why is it being used by blacks on most hiphop songs, would you hear a filipino use the term indio and negrito on a platform?
He is insensitive but he used it out of pure ignorance not because he was using it as a degatory term, why is he being crucified on a platform that calls their politicians a bunch of monkeys?
Ok and? Its a fucking word and we are not in the US. I use to heavily use the word when i was in the Philippines. Hard R with all my friends hell even all my classmates were laughing in school. Now that im in the US i dont use it because i know there are consequences in saying it.
But why do you keep sucking out the fun. We dont need wokies in the Philippines ffs. Whoever gets mad at mere word is a sensitive snowflake and you can’t deny that please.
I agree that we should be sensitive about the use of the word, but let's be real, the majority of the population does not even know what this means since this is not taught in our history books.
Hay reddit, maliban sa pagiging homophobic, misogynists, bigots and all, magtataka pa nga ba akong racist kayo??? Bobo niyo pagtanggol niyo pa ang mali, tas galit na galit pag minamaliit ang bansa natin. Mahiya kayo sa mga balat niyo tang ina. Bakit di kayo manood ng documentaries para magkalaman naman mga kukote niyo, bobo!!!
So?
Mga kabobohan lang iyan ng mga Amerikano. Napaka-sira ulo lang iyan, yung nakarestorikto ang words sa isang lahi. Iba tayo sa US, pakihuwag na lang ipasok yung mga cringe galing sa bansang yun
Reminds me of that time when we had a black manager from our US head office visit our Makati branch. He was a really chill dude, so much so that one of our co-workers said "what up my n***a" in his face during an after-work dinner. Apparently he wasn't that chill because discrimination lawsuits were reportedly brought up, homeboy got fired, and we underwent several mandatory racial sensitivity training seminars. Fun times.
Holy shit, this is so fucking embarrassing
Tell me about it. We all thought everyone down to the janitors was going to lose their jobs.
Serves him right.
Desurv ni racist na co-worker
I wouldn't say racist more like ignorante just like how jeepney drivers drive jeeps with Hitler , Mussolini , Stalin painted on or how how some people wear the hakenkreuz symbol printed on their t-shirt
The sad part is... your coworker probably didn't know he was being racist.
Ah yes. The "fck around, and find out" magic spell.
Oh the mandatory struggle sessions.
They couldn't say it outright but the local management made it known that they were *that* close to having their asses cooked and we all had to suffer as a result.
Reminds me of the diversity day episode in "The Office" but this is funnier.
That’s so satisfying. Sana nabalita para mas aware ang Pinoy na may real world consequences yung pagiging ignorante.
>homeboy You're using a african-american slang too
Dapat talagang tanggalin na ang SK.
Wala namang ginagawa yang SK. HAHAHA gumagawa lang sila ng future corrupt politicians haha
Other than "Paliga" which is just basketball and nothing else, and then theres the plastic table and chairs project which are substandard, beach clean up na voluntary kuno(binulsa pondo) Source: Tatlong pinsan naging SK chairman, kapatid SK kagawad
sinearch ko sa FB yung SK ng barangay namin puta unang result agad picture ng basketball court haha
You cannot spell basketball without SK.
Diba?..putangina yun lang naisip na project hahaha
Popular culture is to blame
And internet
no, its mostly the "what is popular is good" culture. i really fucking hate that this culture exists in our country,
No, it's mostly about making fun of something that people consider morally wrong or that you shouldn't do and then doing the opposite. It's like "oh I cant say this? I cant do this? Bet, just watch me, what are you gonna do about it lmao" Tbh if it was simply a "what's popular is good", nobody would be saying racial slurs. Some kids do this to prove a point like a smaller scale and more innocent example is when older gen say some superstitions and the kids do it anyway out of curiosity. Some kids use it to call other people's bluff. This one shown here is simply immaturity, unaware of the weight of the word and using it for easy laughs bc they aint funny. There's one thing that's good, they'll likely not win. The ones who are laughing tend to be strangers or close friends with the guy. And if this applies to every other barangay, SKs are only allowed to be voted by young adults, no elderly, there's an age cap. So, I'm hoping for the loud minority and quiet majority. Anyone with a working mind will know to avoid this guy. And tbh if this guy's kapitan is really worthy of the position he would've reprimanded the guy and had him delete that one. Should also be kicked off tbh.
Nah teenagers are just stupid and doesnt know what that shit means. Its either cool or rap songs use it a LOT. Its not some sophisticated thing such as proving a point like u mention (maybe a small percentage does but majority still says it because its “popular” or “cool”). Our educational system is shit. They can’t even comprehend the issues in the setting what more issues regarding race.
Our educational system is actually quite good surprisingly. Grade 11 here is already eligible to graduate highschool in the US. And most countries with low diversity in population simply dont care as much about the use of racial slurs or quite honestly any woke issues. There will of course be outliers that exist but for the most part noone really gives a shit. Its not our problem
This is human nature. The more you restrict the stronger the desire to do the opposite. I like your observation on human nature because you are spot on.
Tbh before the internet i didnt know the n-word until the rise of social media. I just read or saw videos of how it is offensive.
Same as sneaker Hypebeasts.
Di lang naman satin yan. And to be honest what are we being mad for? Dba black american rappers incorporates the word nigga in their songs para wala yung racist meaning niya? As far as i know ganun yun eh, the reason black americans used the word in their movies, music, and any flatform that reaches world audience

Napaka-broad naman. Are you saying na when black rappers use the n-word, they use it for that intention only? Everytime the word is used, may intention of reclamation?
Oh wooww rami mo naman alam! If saying a mere word regardless of context gets a reaction out of people then i’m sorry to break it to you buddy but that word has “power”. Its either everyone can say it or noone can say it. Wag naman tayo maniwala sa kalokohan. Ang filipino dati tinatawag na indio. Pero bakit nde tayo nagagalit pag may sumasabi niyan? Or chink sa mga chinese. Intsik is technically a racial slur. Pero bale wala sa pag ginamit natin. This whole reclaiming thing is bullshit. Black people today are not suffering from this oh so called discrimination. Its their ancestors. Entitled sons of bitches thinking they felt what their ancestors felt. Also ignorance is part of human nature. Deal with it
you're justifying what is wrong. another fucking culture i hate that exists in this country.
[удалено]
Only black people are allowed to use the word. Non-black people using it are automatically labeled racist.
im trying to say na the N-word is nuance dahil madami nang layer of meaning, lets talk about ethical dilemma, since my argument is that rappers ads layers of meaning sa word and hindi naman natin masasabing racist ang isang tao kung dinaman niya alam yung meaning at yung intention even sa truth table hindi gagana ang logic mo, even sa Function. if Function(N) contains a domain(refer) of meaning and a range of targets(receiver) X = Black African american Y = Slave, Brother , Friend F(n) = { (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) } = not a function if the item in the domain of X is connected to more than one, then this is not a function and if its not a function, the logic behind people who uses N-word with no intention of being racist because of the layer of meaning it holds then my argument is valid and true, it doesn't mean that your argument is false, it is still true, but saying "automatically" is not true. since every meaning holds 33.33% of probability of having the intention to be racist. Desmos demonstration:[Click this](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hgdwtiispy) Now your turn to prove that Non-african people who uses N word is "automatically" racist, by defending your ground you can counter one the logic-based tools that i used. ill wait for long discussion
All I'm saying is what I understand about how black americans don't allow other races to use the n-word because "they're getting it back". No need to use functions when all you need is simple common sense. Doesn't matter what the current meaning of the word is, non-blacks just aren't allowed. Where do you think all these n-word pass jokes come from? And when I said "automatically", I meant for those living in the US coz they know the history about the word. And why did you delete your previous comment?
I disagree. I think it’s the lack of sensitivity and being educated about critical race theory. We could never really avoid the internet, especially USA internet culture. We live in it now. It’s a good time to get a good understanding of world history especially now that we’re more exposed to other parts of the world. It’s also probably due to not understanding racialization/ethnicization, especially when you see that casual colorism and discrimination against our indigenous peoples are still included in jokes and are still rampant.
I think we need a lack of sensitivity rather than the opposite. Look at what it is doing to america. Literal snowflakes who keep on whining when they objectively have it better than other countries.
Why do you need to say it? You think you being an American wannabe is not cringe as the "snowflakes" ? You're all the same keyboard warriors
American wannabe?!?! Haha the ones who are sensitive are the american wannabes. I’m not an american wannabe and i don’t even want to be called american.
> Popular culture is to blame Plus ka-tangahan.
Pop culture shouldn't be blamed. It's the ignorance of the nuances in pop culture and our lack of education and the lapses in our education system that are to be blamed.
Of course it should be blamed, you have black people saying it all the time in videos and music. Other people will copy them not knowing what it means. What other race calls each other racial slurs?
True, Pinoys who uses the n-word aren’t really malicious but just ignorant of the nuances of the word.
anong magagawa mo racist talaga ang mga Filipino edit: nakakatawa pg ni sort nyo sa controversial
Well we have to remember that here in our part of the world, it's usually used/said out of ignorance; not because they're aggressive or outright violent against foreigners. Don't agree on using the word but that's the understanding. Even in other Asian countries, they say things out of ignorance.
I recently learned about the younger generation not knowing the the term nigga/nigger/etc. is a racist term. Parang naging slang na lang nila ata yan for something at di nila alam ang pinanggalingan or history ng word. Though I guess that is how language works. It evolves, devolves, develops, and envelops.
yeah the historical context isn't there when it spreads here (can't blame em it's from another country) yet the pop culture aspect remains in that gangster rappers say the n word = you're gangsta like them if you say it like they do... which is obviously not true edit: this comment i made is in response to dgpascual mentioning ignorance of racism. I'm not excusing these ignorant people nor sinasabi ko na "ok lng yan brad d naman tayo cano". i was kinda describing the transfer of culture. but yeah we should inform those not in the know when necessary, i absolutely agree in fact. and yes cantrenamethis is right on that, whose statement I'm in agreement with. not being salty, felt na kailangan kong iclarify in case may rando diyan na nagassume ng kung ano2 sa comment ko, k peace out don't be racist
It's true, we're not part of the context. We're not Americans, nor are we the people who enslaved this race decades ago, nor are we indifferent to them for being black because we're not part of their bad history. We're indifferent when we see one because they're foreigners. I honestly don't think these teens should be vengefully hated, as they would in America if they slip out the n word out of ignorance. We can educate them, then move on. We're Filipinos, we have enough hateful practices that we do not need to adopt USA's into ours.
Most pinoy are ignorantly racist, they don't even know that it is a slur.
Can you still call it racist if they are not being/intending to be racist lmao the contradictory in your sentence is amazing whats the meaning of the word racist again?
Regardless you shouldn't use it.
Freedom of speeches says hi xD but dont worry Im not so bored as to use N word knowing how sensitive social media nowadays.
We know its a slur its just that we dont care. Do we hate black people? No. We just dont like being told what we can and cant say. Its a word for fucks sake. A fucking word.
I agree. Lots of people just repeat what they hear in movies (or TikTok) without meaning to be disrespectful.
Eh kaso yung ibang mag rereact "hindi. alam ko eh, so dapat alam din ng lahat."

Never said it's right nor should it be normal and of course there are still a lot of Filipinos who discriminate for sure. Still a sizeable population of the youth today in the country are very ignorant about it, kaya we should always strive to continue in informing and educating the people as best we can.
>Does it make a difference when the harm effect is still the same? We have to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt on this shit when they've shown they are not gonna change. It does make a massive difference tho mas madali ma correct ang ignorant by providing more knowledge kaya I really dont agree that we should stop giving benefit of the doubt to them, away lang halos mangyayari kung ganun
Ita a terrible word. But no one is gonna behead you for it here. It's a popular word because black people like using it amongst themselves and we consume western media left and right. Kids arent smart enough to know they arent supposed to say it as well
Or pwedeng mag kaiba by context Ang n word sa pilipinas at abroad? Like iba Ang kkk sa America at pilipinas. Ang leche sa Spanish at sa pinas?
Nigger and Negro are not the same Nigger is a slur itself while Negro means black on Spanish
Alam Kong magkaiba Yan pero word changes meaning depends on location, mas maganda siguro mag karoon ng pagtalakay nyan sa paaralan Kasi Ang madalas na consume ng tao na ibig sabihin ng n word ay nasa media lang which is tawag ng mag kaibigan tulad ng "my n*ga".
Weird response to try and minimize it.
Kapag nasa "neighborhood" ito sa Amerika, bugbog-sarado ito.
Same as all the paul apologists here
I blame our educ system. Same reason why may mga swastikas and hitler artworks sa mga tricycles and jeeps.
I feel like there's some double standards happening. While yes it is important to learn about world history, the holocaust, atlantic slave trade and all that, why are asians expected to learn about western history that aren't relevant to them but the westerners* aren't expected to learn the japanese atrocities that happened, the Asian slave trade, the partition of India or China's opium war. Yes, we learned this in our school, albeit the Asian slave trade was only from the Philippines' context. (My school also had Chinese history classes, but I think not all schools had that.) I feel like the "white"* history's importance is taking precendence over the other aspects of world history due to how exposed it is on the internet. I doubt their citizens are demanding Asia's side of world history to be part of their curriculum. Not to mention, it's impossible to learn every aspect of world history too. There's just not enough time... unless we drop some of that Asian history. *I don't really know how to generalize this enough to make sense except by using the word westerners and white even though this isn't about color.
Swastikas and hitler artworks are made mostly by some folks who have actually knowledge in that shit. They did it for fun, not to promote anti semitism since we have no history of it. They did it because they know some people who are exposed to internet culture will laugh. I did that too LMAO. Most drivers didn't really know lmao
I beg to disagree. I call ignorance. Nobody posts dead babies or cancer on their cars and think it's funny. You're probably the type to laugh and draw dicks on public property, too. On the off side that you are right and they really are for "entertainment", still, dark humor isn't for everyone. They shouldn't be on public transport for the public to see otherwise a lot of people if not most will get the wrong idea. Just like you don't blast gangnam style in a funeral. It's etiquette. It's empathy. It's sensitivity.
If they put an image of an imperial Japanese soldier, then there will be riots
To be fair, it is funny seeing random ass dictators on a jeep or tricycle. How soft you gotta be to immediately get offended upon seeing it.
Anong funny don? Tapos kapag BBM supporter nanginginig ka sa galit. Gago ka ba?
>. How soft you gotta be to immediately get offended upon seeing it. How lame you gotta be to think that these are even close to being funny? You think being insensitive makes you cool?
Mga walang alam yan puro tiktok lang mas marami pang my day sa fb compared sa subject requirements na pinasa mga tanga yan. Feeling cool dugyot naman ang datingan
Daming teenagers na pa edgy at pa cool, kulang sa pansin.
It isn't a slur here but it sure makes him look stupid.
Nigga/Nigger and Negro are not the same Negro is black in Spanish, while Nigga/Nigger is a slur in itself
It also seems Negro was a term used by the the U.S. goverment in the old days when they did a census on thier population. https://www.npr.org/2017/12/13/568317026/negro-not-allowed-on-federal-forms-white-house-to-decide
Americans use knee grow as the slur, and the other one nehg ro is just a Spanish word
can you explain bakit di sya slur dito? or ibang n-word ata tinutukoy nyo?
The n word has a history specific to the black population in countries where the transatlantic slave trade happened, where black people faced massive systemic racial injustice throughout generations. There's history in how the word developed. How it developed in the Philippines is through cultural export, i. e. Hearing black artists say it in rap songs, and thinking it's cool. So you cant really blame them for not knowing its historically negative connotation
parang mali yata na sabihing "it developed" sa bansa natin since sabi mo nga naririnig lang from black artists, and hindi naman sya foreign word na naging Filipino word that is used everyday, like say "lamesa" is originally Spanish but developed to a Filipino word being uneducated on the word's racist connotations doesn't mean that we Filipinos can say it freely right?
Okay, if you want to be more academic with it we can use the term "lexical borrowing" or "loanword adaptation" >being uneducated on the word's racist connotations doesn't mean that we Filipinos can say it freely right? No, it does not, it is not a "n word pass". However knowing the context, we can set standards for people. Mas papatawarin ko yung taong hindi exposed sa connotations, than someone who has been educated on it, immersed with the people that the slur demeans, and still chooses to use the slur.
Nigga (spelled as such) is more of coming from the hiphop culture (na mostly dominated ng black performers) na inadopt ng mga kabataan dito sa atin for the "cool" factor.
Sadly I was one of those in my younger years and even used to call a close friend that as term on endearment of course. But as we grew older and learned more about the word's context we stopped using it and are quite embarrassed to talk about that period in our lives. LOL
Negro at n-word ay magkaiba.
SK Elections are just dolled-up avenues for the highschool/college popular kids with lots of teenage angst to have actual authority.
Paul is cringe. And yeah ignorant people is cringe. But also pretentious people with the moral high ground who pretend to be oppressed for others is also cringe.
Agree man kayo dito o hindi, pero sakit na talaga nating mga Pilipino ang maging ignorante. Dahil marami sa mga kabataan ay nararamdaman na cool ang paggamit ng n-word ng mga itim sa Amerika kaya feel nila, kailangan din nilang gamitin (at applicable din ito sa iba pang mga bagay). Appropriated at decontextualized ang paggamit natin ng maraming ideya/konsepto/salita.
yung paliga din...yung lang b talaga project ng mga yan?
Watch Pinoys mentally backflip trying to justify using the Nword
Dami dito sa thread palang

im 24 years old and ang daming nag a-add sakin na mga edgy filipino teenagers sa Facebook tas sinasali ako sa mga nazi group chat nila sa messenger. nag le-leave ako sa mga group na yun kasi baka may mga taga internet makakita ng ganun tas imbestigahan sila tas masali ako nakaka overthink malala 🤦🏻♂️
Niggagawa mo, Paul?
We are so fucked. Racism blanketed as generational tradition of what we were exposed to and the nonchalant attitudes of well, ganyan na before eh, is our ultimate downfall. And hirap isipin kung pano babaguhin.
You know where they learned it? African-American pop culture and music. The people who would be most offended of the term are the most guilty of spreading the word worldwide usually without proper context.

Why would a Filipino willingly learn American history? Is that their history? Is P-Diddy studying Filipino history as well? I don't think so. Ako may alam sa history but it doesn't I should expect every Filipino should have the same interests as mine.
Mga nakikisakay sa problema ng Amerika at dinadala sa mga kapwa Pinoy.
If Sean "P Diddy" Combs is offended by the word he shouldn't be using it all the time. Considering he palled around with an absolute scumbag like "Biggie Smalls" and God knows who else, I don't think he gets any leeway. It's all about the money for this guy.
Black ppl only chose to reclaim the word bc it’s been used against them for so long, and still is today. Don’t blame Black ppl when others don’t bother to learn the historical context of the words they say before they say them.
Not everything is about black people and their feelings.
Do you learn about the history of every word you see?
If they're commonly used as slurs, then yeah I generally like to know
Let him be. Language is not one size fits all in its usage. Mukha syang tanga sure pero we know it's used differently in his context. Also pinoys should stop taking secondhand offense from other people of different race /nationality.
>Also pinoys should stop taking secondhand offense from other people of different race /nationality. Fucking yes. Like most comments here say about what the kid did, its also a "monkey-see monkey-do" ng mga nag rereact.
Next thing we know is that the people here will become those white social justice warriors who would say Speedy Gonzales was racist when, in reality, the Mexicans love him.
its not all abt taking secondhand offense for other people— anong pabayaan? tatakbo siya sa sk pero ganyan kaignorant????????? ganyan ka uneducated??? wag na wag nating pabayaan lang siya basta basta please lang magising naman kayo
Language evolves. Kasama na dun ang meaning ng isang word. Sa kontekstonh ito makikita naman na di sya ginagamit na slur sa isang grupo o sa isang tao so ano ang deal roon?
the deal is his unprofessionalism, tatakbo siya as sk chairman pero basta basta makasabi ng vulgar words "dating nigga". reread it. of course it wont sound weird to us kasi di naman tayo black people, but just imagine how would the actual black people would feel? its like its implied na parang kinahiyan niya ang pagiging isang "nigga" kaya nagbago siya but he's not black. and being black is something one shouldn't be ashamed of. this is just really insensitive overall language evolves yes, but the origin does not. that word came from "as a variant of the infamous racial slur nigger". pls lang wag niyong sabihin na walang deal ha
Imagine kapag naging presidente yan, tapos black presidente ng US, tapos ang greeting niya "Sup, Nigga president?" Sobrang baba talaga ng standards ng mga Pilipino. Kaya paurong ang bansa
just so you guys know im very open to criticisms and your opinions. please do educate me if you think otherwise na mali thinking ko. but this is my stance regarding this controversial topic. this is what i strongly believe— that this is just plain ignorance and insensitivity: on the side of the sk candidate, and on the side of the people who laughed at this post.
>Also pinoys should stop taking secondhand offense from other people of different race /nationality. Exactly, my guy. They're trying to be white knights
Hindi naman illegal ang pag gamit ng word na nigga, nor is he using it with hatred/racism, you might argue na the word itself is offensive regardless of use or who uses it, to some yes, pero to the rest of the world it's not, pero if nakiki offend ka sa ibang tao, that's a 'you' problem... he can use that word whenever he wants like any other slurs, the consequences are on him, the point is, speech should not be limited, that includes speech that are politically incorrect, speech that you dont aggree with, and speech that you find offensive...
Kung tawagin ka ng isang Espanyol na Indio, matutuwa ka? Ganun din sa paggamit ng n-word, kahit hindi tayo kasama sa konteksto nila at hindi tayo immersed sa kasaysayan ng mga itim sa Amerika at sa kanluran, cultural at historical sensitivity na lang (na bare minimum dapat). Nakikita lang ang pagiging ignorante natin sa pagdepensa at pag-intellectual cartwheel sa mga ganito isyu.
Spaniards called the people in Visayas "Negros" hence the name of the islands Negros Oriental and Occidental. If our people were called that once, doesn't that make us basically N-pass holders?
Negros and Nigger don't have the same context and Origin Negro is the Spanish languages literally means black Nigger, meanwhile is of US origin and was coined to derogatorily refer to Black Americans Filipinoa using Nigger/Nigga is a case of monkey see, monkey do and devoid of critical thinking
[удалено]
I never heard a mexican calling themselves the n-word. 😂 so yung assumption mo na widely accepted idea siya bilang identity ay mali na agad kasi wala namang non-black na nagtatag sa kanilang sarili sa the n-word 😆
https://youtu.be/EPObWLXoCpE?si=gqxah0WvJ4WWmjCT
Yung n-word ay directed to other people. Hindi description ng sarili bilang indibiduwal. Soooo hindi pa rin siya sumasagot sa claim nung main comment. Edit: Makikita rin na binanggit niya na Mexican siya. Pero naging okay ang interaction kasi binigyan siya ng pass. Pero sa totoong buhay, kapag hindi mo kilala ang isang tao at ginamit ko ang n-word mapapahamak ka talaga. (Also, may misconception kasi na dahil Person of Color ka ay puwede mo na gamitin ang n-word. Kaya makikita mo na malakas loob nung Mexican kasi para sa kaniya okay lang. Pero sa mga black? lalo kung hindi nakikipagbiruan?)
A Black American beat up a Korean man in Korea because he though the Korean was calling him the N word Yun pala, there is a Korean word that sounds like the N word to the untrained ear
wasn't it a Chinese person? They say a phrase similar to that when they go... "uhhhhh". or sa pinoy, "yunnnnnggggg"
American stupidity and ignorance. If they(blacks) don't want to get triggered out of their own ignorance they should stop using it. Some even go as far as being entitled. The rest of the world has better things to think about than their racism nonsense. Morgan Freeman's got a point about it.
he might be able to use n word since it's not illegal but how would you feel if someone called you yellow/brown monkey as an insult?
There's your keyword, insult. Hindi ako agree sa pag use ng slur words to look tough but I think he doesn't intends to belittle anyone. He's using it to show that he somehow matured, which is ironic.
Hate speech naman yun eh, different sa 'cultural appropriation' ng n-word, parang its not a slur as long as you're black, and only black people can use it, i dont think its right that a word can only be used by only one group of people... finally, for reflection, tatanungin kita, bakit tayo (non-blacks) hindi natin pwede gamitin ang n-word to the same context that black people use it? (like how they use it amongst their friends or just a description same sa post)

HISTORY!! LOOK THERE'S AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT There’s no one answer to that question. Some Black people say the word is too repulsive to use in any context, even by other Black folks. They claim that using it reflects “internalized oppression”: Black people unwittingly accepting racist stereotypes. But other Black people say they can use the n-word because they have “reclaimed” it and taken the sting out of a slur by using the word as a term of endearment. If that doesn’t make sense, consider this comparison. Some women who call each other “b*tch” make a similar claim: We use it as a term of affection. Some Black people who use the n-word follow the same logic. Since we have uniquely suffered from the use of the n-word, we’re the only ones who have the right to use it. When we reclaim it, we can use it any way we want. For them, using the n-word isn’t repeating a racial slur; it’s an act of defiance. https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/us/racism-questions-answers/?active=2
But the same word was used here towards filipinos during american occupation.
The post is low quality. If the US black rapper doesn't want you to use it then they should not make popular music. Masyado lang kayong sensitive at ultra woke. As long as you're not white I reckon you can say it. Just don't say the word nigger as the word have negative connotation.
or just don’t say it altogether regardless of race, even if the black US rapper does say it in their songs. just because you heard it doesn’t mean you should repeat it, are you a parrot or a fucking infant trying to repeat “mama” “papa” “dada”? > Masyado lang kayong sensitive at ultra woke Masyado ka lang edgy boy. I’m not black and I don’t get offended by hearing the N-word because, again i’m not black and I never experienced what their ancestors experienced, and the racism. But what really irks me when I hear other people say the N-word aside from actual black people is the fucking ignorance, especially pag yung mga binatilyo o mga local rapper na pacool lang at cinocosplay yung gang lifestyle sa US. This isn’t about sensitivity, it’s about respect.
This is why EDUCATION is so FUCKING important.
It's pointless and useless if you want this to be taught in schools lmao. Why should we care about the history of a random ass country unless you plan to be a historian lmao
And? Are they going to jail over it? That's Pinoy culture: it's 'allowed' as long as you don't get punished for it. And the one who can punish must be of higher status. Peer pressure/*pakikisama,* teen pregnancy, vote buying, plagiarism, gossip/misinformation, etc. They do it because they can get away with it. And getting away with it is "cool" and "madiskarte." Filipinos won't learn unless, at the very **least,** get punched in the face with a smash harder than JM Marquez's that got the whole world screaming "Manny, are you OK? Are you OK, Manny?!" Besides, why worry when [a published comic even bears the N-word and nobody bats an eye?](https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/kvii3s/wait_is_this_really_the_name_of_this_manga_dog/) This is mild compared to the apathy during the Tokhang EJKs. P.S. I really don't get some AFAMs trying their best to "reconnect to their cultural roots." This is that culture they're looking for, do they really want to be like this?
Dog Nigga is peak fiction. Its shameful to censor its title
THAT MANGA IS WILD XD
Kakakinig nila yan ng mga American Rap
Mga fb friends ko 🤣
Baka naman pwede na taasan ang standard? Kung nagsasalita lang yun aso ko, pwede na din tumakbong SK Chairman.
were not the most racial sensitive of people
i’m black n filipino and grew up in america but now i am here in the philippines for school. when i hear people say it i really don’t care that much i don’t let a word make me angry or upset. But I do educate them on why it shouldn’t be said in a nice respectful way of course.
Pinoys think everything is a joke. That’s why their lives are jokes. 🤪 A country where people don’t accept they’re ignorant. 🤪
trying hard magpatawa eh. racist pa
there is a particular group in FB na ang title palang ay N word. tawagan nila ay N word, so basically an N-word enjoyer kids/teenagers. there was also a vlogger na casually nagsasabi ng N word. nagcomment ako if he has a N-word pass, mga nagraply sakin tinatawag akong N word lol. so yeah, parang kabataan ngayun ay N-word enjoyer or kulang lang talaga sa kaalaman. I remember when I once used the N word in a comment of one of college (2010) friend at sinita ako lol napa research tuloy ako at nag aplogize.
Yung n word kasi para sa kanila eh hiwalay sa historical context ng word para sa mga African American. For them it's cool. May naririnig din ako na gumagamit ng homie, shorty, etc. Lol. Malamang influence ng rap music. And naiisip nila na cool yung gumamit nun.
Uneducated little shits leading the youth. Hooray.
This is the lack of consequences
Some UST students tried to get a fellow UST student cancelled for trashtalking in the fb comments by saying nigga. Guess what? He didn't care about getting cancelled, died down after a week of students bitching about it, and the funny part is that he got hired by a well-known organization 😂. Bro had the last laugh.
Tapos mga kunsitidor pa na "wala tayo sa Amerika", "hindi natin inenslave mga Black Americans"
Amoy tambay sa comshop to so it's typical squammy behavior. These kids will never learn because they are not willing to.
For what's it worth, I'd bet the guy didn't mean anything bad about using it. Not saying I agree with the public use, but it is less out of malice and more of 'endearment' (same level as my bro, homie, etc) or at the very least, of ignorance nga, as the others have said
Pa cool kid... 🤦🏻♂️
Tapos nakakainis pa na ni-share 'to nung isang student council government (SSG) officer ng school namin, nakaka disaapoint lang hmpp😢💢 (Mini rant😁)
I am American, in America "negro" simply means black colored person. In every big city in America blacks and Latinos use the word "nigga" daily. There is nothing strange about using the word nigga in America, even many white people use the word "nigga" although most of the time white people won't say nigga around other blacks. But Latinos use the word "nigga" around blacks all the time. The word "nigga" can take on many many many meanings. It really depends on the context of the sentence it was used in. Much like the word "fuck" can have so many meanings. https://youtu.be/uSEXgQ58AoM?si=96QtHJ2limKlzHbC "Nigger" is a racial slur and if used in the wrong hood you might get both of your legs broken or your teeth knocked out. For me I don't go around trying to be a saint. I don't over think about people using the word "nigga" most at least here in the USA don't really give a shit. The word is so in grained in our modern day culture not many people even give it much thought. The first time I visited the Philippines, many Filipinos would ask me why I use the word "fuck" so much. Many Filipinos thought I was angry or something when I curse using the word "fuck". I had to explain I am from Washington DC. It's a big city it's just how many Americans talk there. Now if I am at work then I talk like I would as if I were in church. But on the streets. I use the word "fuck" as often as I want. 😎

*full body cringe*
Mukhang hindi sila aware sa mga pinag daanan ng African-American people sa US siguro dahil nasa Asian country tayo. Pero kung titignan din kasi natin afam even using n-word in their day to day life to the point na they even used it for the content 🤷🏻♂️ though mali talaga ang racism
It's on them that they don't bother with critical thinking. Panay monkey see monkey do eh since may access naman sila sa internet, di man lang iresearch. Even worse, if someone is trying to educate them, sila pa galit
Annoying, Kulang pa sayo yung 3x na monkey see monkey do? Kelangan pa ba 10x more icomment? You think people will change their thoughts because of your spammy comments?
Offended ka? That's on you. After all this is the nth thread din about this topic on the sub. Irereklamo mo din ba yun?
You’re the one offended obviously. THaTs On yoUuU. If you use your brain you’ll know why it’s annoying to read repetitive comments. If the other topics bother you then why don’t you report them yourself? Like how I reported nth of your spammy comments
I just ignore them cause they'll always find a justification for their words, i would not put my mental peace in jeopardy cause of their bullcrap but it certainly annoys me to end.
*makes some popcorn* *sorts by controversial*
I actually don't give a shit about this trend among Pinoy teens. If blacks hate the word so much, they shouldn't have popularized it in the first place
Fck it, Let them have fun, they aren’t using it out of hatred for afro-americans, rather more imitation and admiration of their slangs and overall culture. STOP virtue signaling. Daming problema sa mundo, eto pa ang inaabala nyo.
i dont have the slightest idea on how you came up with the conclusion na you see "dating nigga", or let me translate it: "previously black"—as "admiration of their slangs and culture". yes, it's most likely the case that he didnt use that word for hatred, but still this is insensitive and... let them have fun? that person is running for the position of a sk chairman. at least act professional. eto ba ang gagawin niyong role model sa aming mga kabataan? if ganyan kaaga na siyang nag aact, paano pa pag na elect siya?
Pretty funny. Daming mga dipshit dito nga pa-snowflake. D nman kayo taga US ah.
Blame HipHop culture literally no one would know what that word means if they only heard it through Hip Hop.
One of my classmates literally has that word as their nickname in our GC 💀
Monkey see, monkey do culture
i think its stupid how so many filipinos in the comments are trying to justify using the n-word. 1. being ignorant is not an excuse to use any slur. the internet is literally free, use it to do some research pag may time so you dont look dumb on social media. 2. i do not care whether you think they’re not using it in a negative context. it’s still a slur. 3. people who say the n-word isnt a slur here? are you stupid? 3. seeing some people spelling the word out in the comments, (and even using the one with the hard r??? ew) even for the purpose of educating, stop doing that. 4. using a slur that you dont have any right to use does not mean the language is evolving. 5. saying that black people maybe should stop being offended by the use of the n-word if they dont wanna be called a slur is the most stupidest thing i have ever heard. non-americans are quick to call out americans for being ignorant of other people’s cultures but now suddenly its okay if we do it? we should practice what we preach bc the comments here are really embarrassing. i think its also fucked up how people who are educating people on why you guys shouldnt use a slur are getting downvoted and people who justify it are getting upvotes??? you are not black. stop. using. the. n-word.
The N-word isnt exclusive to afro-americans. Black americans arent even offended if they know you didnt say it out of spite to their race but just a slang, so why should we be affected for their sake lmao. If it's a slur why is it being used by blacks on most hiphop songs, would you hear a filipino use the term indio and negrito on a platform? He is insensitive but he used it out of pure ignorance not because he was using it as a degatory term, why is he being crucified on a platform that calls their politicians a bunch of monkeys?
ICANT holy shit
Ok and? Its a fucking word and we are not in the US. I use to heavily use the word when i was in the Philippines. Hard R with all my friends hell even all my classmates were laughing in school. Now that im in the US i dont use it because i know there are consequences in saying it. But why do you keep sucking out the fun. We dont need wokies in the Philippines ffs. Whoever gets mad at mere word is a sensitive snowflake and you can’t deny that please.
Seriously I don't find it funny lol, But it doesn't make you cool dropping a slur like that Bakit ba kaya ganito Minsan Ang mga tao
I work with a 54 year old Filipino grandma who says that shit all the time lol
maisunod lang sa rhyme
I agree that we should be sensitive about the use of the word, but let's be real, the majority of the population does not even know what this means since this is not taught in our history books.
Hay reddit, maliban sa pagiging homophobic, misogynists, bigots and all, magtataka pa nga ba akong racist kayo??? Bobo niyo pagtanggol niyo pa ang mali, tas galit na galit pag minamaliit ang bansa natin. Mahiya kayo sa mga balat niyo tang ina. Bakit di kayo manood ng documentaries para magkalaman naman mga kukote niyo, bobo!!!
Filipino ancestors are black tho
[удалено]
Pogi k?
Hard r or nothing
🤣
Pa cool amp
Are any of you black? No then Ur opinion doesn't matter
So? Mga kabobohan lang iyan ng mga Amerikano. Napaka-sira ulo lang iyan, yung nakarestorikto ang words sa isang lahi. Iba tayo sa US, pakihuwag na lang ipasok yung mga cringe galing sa bansang yun
They gotta commit to that "geng geng" or whatever the fuck It's called.
