Civil rights activist Najee Ali, Director of Project Islamic Hope is demanding that singer Jennifer Lopez, apoligize for using the word nigger in her new record that was just released "I'm real" She is also calling on Epic records to pull the offensive recording from its distribution Immediately.
When: Wednesday July 11,2001@ 11:00 am
Where: Leimert park, 3415 W. 43rd street Los Angeles Ca 90008 by the water fountain (Crenshaw&Vernon)
Why? "The N- word should not be used by any artist no matter what ethnic group you are a member of. But to have a non-black artist as popular as Jennifer Lopez is internationally, can only inflame racial intolerance,bigotry,and hatred."stated Najee Ali, Director of Project Islamic Hope.

-
big pun was the same as j lo wasnt he?
-
i think so, good point sms, they didnt do shit when big pun was runnin around usin the word as if it was his last name!...sheet...people will do anythin for a bit of media spotlight...
-
its one thin if she said "nigger" thats racist but "nigga" is totally different and is a slang word that everyone is starting to say some people are just to anal
-
TRUE ::)
-
Yeah Big Pun and J-Lo are both Puerto Rican, but I think tha difference is.....
People who listen to Big Pun are mostly people from urban areas... people who listen to Hip Hop and are already used to rappers sayin "Nigga" in their records... nothin new
Jennifer Lopez does POP music.... more people listen to this, no matter where they're from, what they're about.... when she says "Nigga" it gets around more and more people notice it.... I guess that's why people were quick to jump on her for sayin it..... It's not like they're occusing her of being racist, they know she didnt mean to say it in a racist way.... but just hearing "NIGGA" on a pop cd is like ":o whoa..... back up"..... you know?
And I dont know why.... but I'm pretty sure that J-Lo being a woman has alot to do with tha reaction.
-
this is stupid
puerto ricans are a mix of african and spaniard blood
so technically jennifer is half black ....god
i could understand if it was a mexican sayin' it cuz mexicans are spaniard and indian blood (either Inca or Aztec)....but even if it was a mexican why would it matter....Ja Rule wrote the fucking line! and isn't he a "brotha"...good lord
-
Its cause she attracts alot of attention, more than Pun did.
Same shit as Eminem and GLAAD.
-
J-Lo is just a stupid spick anyways.

YOu need to chill. No need to get into some racial shit. You're on some ignorant shit for saying what you said. I'm black and I take no offence to J-Lo saying Nigga. It's just slang to me.

Like Jake said she technically is half black plus she was with Puffy so that proves she isn't racist.
and to the ignorant asshole usin racist remarks, Ja Rule was supposedly the one who wrote the song or some shit like that.
And then I'm watchin the channel 9 news and they were talking about the whole thing. Then the idiot who was reppin some organization said somethin along these lines:
"We demand the rapper (lmao) Jennifer Lopez to change the lyrics to her song. We do not want latinos and African-Americans going at war in the streets. I don't think Miss Lopez would like is I called her a "wetback"."
Now what kind of ignorant bullshit is that! First off if the dude ever listened to one of her songs he would know if she was a rapper or a singer.
Second alot of J-Lo's fans are black so I doubt there would be any war.
Last, The mutherfucker is complaining about her sayin "nigga" and he straight out calls her a "wetback"
I was buggin when I saw that. He shoulda been ashamed of himself. He is just tryin to get on T.V. and say some controversial shit to get noticed.
-
i noticed everybody startin to trip over here.... ::)
-
I'm Mexican, and I feel it's disrespectful for me to say nigga. Now I heard in New York though, blacks think of Puerto Ricans as black too, so maybe there is a difference. But I know as a Mexican, the closes I get is to call blacks bothas and they call me esse. Other than that, nigga stays outta it.
-
first the purto rico saying nigga, whats next, eminem dissing death row calling them a "nigger"?!?!?!?!some funny shit
