Apparently curly hair is solely an african trait
Apparently pokimane doesn't have a moroccan background

That is her natural hair. She is from Morocco which is in Africa.

She has also addressed and apologized about using the N-word in the past. Are people not allowed to grow and change?

A lot of popular twitch streamers are popular because they were just there first. That's it.

I remember that dude that had a meltdown in that one Pokimane topic because i said African doesnt always mean black.

He went crazy trying to defend her allegedly using the nword and telling me and other black users we were wrong lol

it's incredibly misogynistic to say that she's only popular because people have deluded themselves into believing they're in a relationship with her. she's a good streamer with a good personality and deserves her success. do i think this is cultural appropriation, no, but i can why someone would think that.

I don't recall telling anybody they were wrong.

I recall yall getting BIG MAD when I said I give a brown Moroccan woman using a soft R the benefit of the doubt that there's no malice or racial intent behind their use of the word, and therefore, not something that the broader internet community really needs to give a shit about.

I refuse to believe that whoever wrote that did so un-ironically.

Like theres no way someone could have their head shoved so far up their own ass that theyd draw such a shitty conclusion in order to get Internet Points.

damn another topic and you're still wrong lol.

Kinda, iirc from my african american history class. It has latin roots that means the color black then it kinda died out, came back in early America as a name for someone that does low class work, and then it was repurposed as a slur for slaves and slave work.

Is there a particular part of Africa one has to be from to have the rights to use the n-word or is it predicated on something else entirely?

well, be black for one lol

She isn't even black. What the users in the other topic couldn't grasp was that Moroccan doesn't mean you're black.

Morocco is a mixing pot of ethnicities and cultures of that area. It's like saying everyone born in the USA is white.

Ok, but she's apologized for using the word many times over. People that keep bringing it up are just doing because they want to grasp at something to continue hating her. Do you want people to change for the better or what's the purpose to bringing up past bad behavior they've already apologized for?

I didnt even say anything negative about her using it. I even said in the original topic about her using it that i personally wouldnt care.

The whole thing started when the topic became about how she shouldnt say it because not all black people react the same to it and how its mostly a slur used against african americans.

Then the people started saying she CAN use it because shes from africa. Which is dumb in itself because you can be from africa and not black.

Yeah. What were those specifics she talked about? That heritage test thing that cited 80-some percent "African and arabic" little open to interpretation there if you ask me.

Not that it really matters for a use that is essentially just a social faux paux.

Oh. I remember a white guy from high school once trying to explain that it "didn't originally mean that" and I was so confused by what he was telling me. So that kind of makes sense.

I was never really sure if it was a global word or something that was unique to America, but I also know that the Spanish word is used as well...

Yes it's a derivation of the Latin word for black, inherited into English via Norman French neger

Also it's a country.

Negro is the Spanish word for black. In Spanish there's a whole different slur for black people.

Niger would be the latin saying for the word black.

Same. Once it starts getting longer it gets super curly. I had a "Jew fro" in middle school and like 10 years ago for a while because my coworkers wanted me to grow it. Now I keep it pretty short so it's more manageable.

Well, people who take too much stock from an anonymous twitter account lol.

Most black people wont care about other races having curly hair. Sure there are some crazy black people that take everything as racism.

Just like there's crazy white people that think everything minorities do is white replacement.
