Dutch Mag Calls Rihanna (& Black Women) NIGGABITCHES

The Dutch publication, Jackie magazine, has caused quite the uproar in the Netherlands (and now the US) Black community by referring to Rihanna, and other Black women like her, as Niggabitches. (for the full article you can head over to TheYBF). 

The caption reads (as told by a the YBF reader who sent it in):

They’ve got street cred, they’ve got a ghetto ass, and they can sing well. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate niggabitch and loves to carry herself as such which in her case means; dressing half-naked. Unfortunately, Dutch winters are nothing like Jamaican winters so choose a style that will allow you to withstand the harsh weather conditions. No oversized sunglasses and porn heels but leopard print, pink ‘’shizzle’’ and everything else that shines.

So this seems like a “How To” article and since when was Rihanna Jamaican?

The editor of the mag issued a half-assed apology saying that she never meant to offend anyone and people are being “too sensitive.”

Smh… All this talk about taking back the word ‘Nigga’ and making it our own or ‘bringing a positive spin to a negative notion’…. fuck out of here guys.

In the midst of you “bringing positivity” to a word that STILL oppresses a whole people (because anyone of you know if a person from another race calls you a nigger you’ll come right out of character), you’ve made others think that it’s okay to join in. 

We continuously refer to ourselves as niggas, Jay and ‘Ye put it in the title of a song that ALL races love, Rihanna herself is singing ‘nigga’ on tracks of Talk That Talk… It was only a matter of time before some white girl one had the balls to do it publicly.

We really don’t have anyone to blame but ourselves. 

WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY WILL ANGER MANY BUT….

Rihanna is a nigger bitch…sorry I said it… she is a professional vixen….all our women feel the need to bleach their skin…dye their hair…and prance around half naked to get some ticket sales…she’s a gimmick… no different then Nikki and Beyonce (sorry B you can blow but uhh yea… you’re pulling a stunt as we speak) though I do not agree with this white writer using the n word and so comfortably at that…some one had to call out the bullshit… these are our childrens role models… these are the ones our children want to be like… no matter how much of a good parent or older sibling or cousin we are… if you dont keep your youth in a cage when they go out into the world they will be influenced… Rihanna is apart of that influence… when I say nigger bitch I mean ignorant… I mean classless… I mean bad example of what a black woman has the potential to be… no I am not saying every black woman is congress woman or CEO material but majority of the examples shown on mainstream TV and in magazines of what it is to be a powerful black woman are images like that above… these are the images we feed our children (especially in the U.S. in the black communities)…these are who our children want to be… so sure I’m mad…I’m mad the woman felt she had the right to call her a nigger and to say the n word at all…but at the same time I’m happy someone finally called out the BS… someone finally printed it for the world to read…someone said it… and yes I did peep that since when is Rihanna from Jamaica…again her ignorance.. but now we need to use this article as a wake up call because despite how much we say well we’re the victim we have the right… majority of the world looks at us (especially us living in the States and UK) as NIGGERS (Authentic blacks included in that majority)…they look at us as ignorant culture-less fools and no matter how untrue or true that may be it is the above images that the world see’s and guess what… perception is reality… thats why we have young girls in Africa and the West Indies bleaching their skin… this is why black women are stuck on the creamy crack… this is why young girls are pussy popping and shaking all over world star…our babies… our children… cause no matter how black and proud we are…we have NIGGERS representing us… if we are gonna attack the system we need to attack it as a whole… they have been degrading black ppl in entertainment and media forever and as much anger as we are throwing at and feeling towards this white woman and her ignorance we can’t front on the fact that she has a point…I am not a nigger… I know majority of my Tumblr followers are not niggers…so please keep in mind how true that statement is when saying Rihanna is a “nigger-bitch”… just like I said about Nikki it is not the successful con artist that children want to be…it is the image… and though the world is still very much full of racism and that lady should have her ass handed to her…but then afterwards I would high five her for addressing an issue that the black community is not ready to address… and thats real… my opinion.. but I see the truth behind that statement… and I know a few other hard working black mothers that would say the same…

so if a black women dresses in anything other than a three piece suit and an evening gown, she is a nigger bitch. and deserves to be called as such by a national magazine. and it is her and people like her that racism still exists.

are you fucking kidding me with this internalized self-hatred bullshit?

with black folks like this, who needs white folks?
