When I was in Miami recently, I heard that word a lot amongst the Puerto Ricans and Domincans. So, maybe they have claimed it to be their own as well and she was just trying to relate to her own people, bot us...Just a thought

Remember, many Puerto Ricans and most Dominicans have African genetic material (see the Blacks and Latinos thread in this forum). I also don't use that word or condone it. But it wouldn't be an issue, perhaps, if our rappers and those who can influence younger people would stop using it.
