If it's offensive for white or any other race to call black community by N word , then why is it acceptable for people of black community to call each other by the N- word .
Like Nicki minaj can sing a whole song about N-word and Madonna used it once on her insta trying to be cool and everyone jumped on poor old grandma . Like she was just trying to fit in
I am not defending madonna because she was wrong for it but so are people in the community who use such language

Sis what? Black people can use it because it's their slur to reclaim as something endearing as opposed to a tool of oppression, we white (or asian or hispanic) people can't use it because it has nothing to do with us and we should have no reason to. Plenty of black people don't wanna use it and that's fine, but it doesn't make the ones who do use it wrong since it's historical connotations only come from non-black people.
It's not a double standard, it's just like how I could call myself a *** since I'm gay and it wouldn't be wrong, but if a straight guy called me it then it'd be wrong no matter the context because it's not heterosexuals' slur to reclaim.

I need an avi. I want something that captures my username. The fact that Rih constantly Rihinvents herself and actually has consistency to her eras. Like how for Music of the Sun she was this cute, caribbean teeny-bopper who dressed like other girls her age, then for GGGB she had the black "Rihanna bob" and in Rater R she had the blonde faux-hawk and everything was dark and spikey and made of leather. And then for LOUD her hair was bright red and everything she wore was colourful and colour-blocked.
She has consistency to her eras. It's not a mess like some of these other girls who step out with a new look every day. She Rihinvents herself with each album, so you can look at a photo of her and say "that's from the ******* album era" and not "that's from the week-where-she-was-sort-of-but-not-really-promoting-this-single-in-Germany era." That's not an era.
Does anyone know of an avi that would suit my name? I'm thinking of something that morphs her face over each of the eras (so 7 different looks, just of her face) but I can't find anything  |
I'd just ask someone here who can make avis (there's a thread for it in the lounge but I think they only let you use so few videos) to use a few seconds from each of her lead single vids. Like you can see her maturing a bit from Pon De Replay to SOS, then the huge superstar transformation to Umbrella, the dark one from Russian Roulette, back to a happier image with the iconic red hair in OGITW, WFL ha best video, and finally Diamonds. (or just your fav vid from each era).
Outside of the black community BET isn't ****. You just think it's huge because you live in an black community.
