The sad part is most blacks just don't care and blame it on each other for using the word.
Like whites have no common sense. I wouldn't be surprised when hiphop is tuens fully white they call her and macklemore "pioneers" of the game and white rappers are using the word in every song

Iggy and JT in the same category? Please stop. Justin is from Memphis, the South. They have a lot of Yt soul, Blues, and r&b singers down there and to clarify, I am not saying that they created those genres(thought it was common knowledge that Blacks did but apparently not) but simply saying that it is common for Yts down there to appreciate and be influenced by Black music. Those music genres are a huge thing in Memphis. Not all of the YT people there only sing country. He also attended Baptist church, so I'm sure he has some authentic influences between living in Memphis and growing up around Gospel. He has also written for Black artists including Bey and Rihanna. He has talent and has put in work; Iggy does not have talent. She is a YT girl capitalizing on creating a stereotypical image of a Black woman. JT does not try to make a mockery of our Black men. He's southern and trust me just because you're Yt does not mean that you don't speak broken English. I have heard some of the most garbage English from rednecks lol
A true artist draws from their surroundings and is in a constant state of growth. Iggy does not fit into this category. She is merely a puppet.

Guuuurl! lol. The Black DJs on the radio always sound so happy to play her song. I know they have contracts but damn, could you sound unimpressed just a little bit?

She is merely a puppet. | black and white culture in the south do not blend like you saying it does. white music is bluegrass and country. soul, blues and r&b is from black ppl. if yt doing it then they are appropriating our culture, which is fine to enjoy different genres and cultures but know what it is. I do see iggy as way more disingenuous than timberlake, she's like a minstrel show spoof. but he aint all gravy either. he also believes the white hype and did not show proper respect to great black artists like prince.
