We didn't pay much attention to it and didn't know the backstory behind such word since that word is commonly used by many Black artists themselves. We also don't know that deep about American history. The same can be said for Blackpink, they probably wouldn't even had been fluent in English by that time. Therefore it is very unlikely for them to know about it. They would've sang what was given to them so that the companies thought it to "cool and American". yoi'm not going to defend it but that's the reality. if you're not from the US and as a teenager you hear a lot of hiphop with the n word in the lyrics, you're bound to sing it because you don't know better. but as you grow and learn, you know never to use it anymore even if it's in pop songs because it's wrong and unnecessary. should the teenager from south east asia be crucified for not being well-researched about a popular song and not immediately knowing the social context & implications of a word? no. should they learn from it and outgrow it? yes. should adults tell young folks about the context and discourage its use? yes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
