The great debate over who is and is not allowed to say the n-word has once again reared its ugly head after a clip of Rubi Rose has gone viral. Hip Hop is often confronted with this conversation due to rappers saying the n-word in their songs and their non-Black fans repeating it, often giving the excuse that they can say the slur because of context. It is something that has waged wars on social media, and Rubi Rose gave her opinion on the topic while in a chat with several people.

In the clip, Rose questioned the ethnicity of the person she was talking to and said because their hair was curly she believed they were "Middle Eastern" or "light-skinned." The person seemed baffled but chimed in to ask whether or not he can say the n-word.

Everyone else on the chat gave a resounding "no," but Rose said she didn't mind.

"I'm personally okay with anybody saying it, as long as their intent isn't to be rude," said Rose. "'Cause I'm sure you have a lot of Black people on your channel, you like Black music probably, so, as long as the person isn't saying it with malicious intent, personally, 'cause I have Mexican homegirls and white homegirls who be saying it, I don't care abou other people."

She Black?

The person she saying looks light skin is adin ross

Her calling Adin Ross a Lightskin tells me all I need to know

Adin Loss

I don’t say it just outta respect for the people who don’t like that s***, but I personally see the merit in the “context matters” argument

The great debate over who is and is not allowed to say the n-word

Is there really room for debate?

Don't let 80% of Ireland hear that curly=lightskin

1) most non black people don’t have n-word motor skills so it just sounds uncomfortable

2) hearing a white person say the n word no matter how good they are at it would just make me plain uncomfortable and I condemn it

Nigga isn’t a real word, stop it who care

obviously

Not the smartest individual out there

Callin adin ross lightskin is wild

N-word motor skills

She from nyc? That’s kinda how it goes here

Long as you were brought up in that environment people don’t really think anything of it

I noticed more people are starting to put up a front like they care all of sudden due to social media pressure tho

For a sec I thought this was about the white rubi rose

thank you miss Rubi Rose for giving me the N-Word pass

Crazy thread so far
