First of all, I want to say that J Lo is not Black. I think I have to agree with the person who said she's probably "glad" she is not black. Some blacks use the term but that doesn't allow everyone else to use it. I know hispanics that call each other "wetbacks" but that is not something that I would ever say to them. I understand that things have a different meaning depending on the context. She and all people should realize that, though some blacks are comfortable with the term, not all blacks have an appreciation for it. Some of us are still very hurt and angry about what our people have gone through and don't find it "cute"! Just because she dated Puffy doesn't mean she is totally accepted by all blacks.
