Last week pop star Rihanna was the victim of racism. A Dutch magazine "Jackie" did a fashion story about how to dress like the trendsetting superstar and, in turn, called Rihanna “the ultimate n***a b***h.”
Rihanna got wind of this and naturally took to Twitter to express her outrage and disgust. She wrote to the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Eva Hoeke:
“@evajackie I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000′s of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That’s your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past!"

In a surprise twist. Rihanna confessed to a fan that she uses the N word daily. As a fan (now ex fan) I was shocked that Rihanna would use such a malicious humiliating word. Especially after she said herself "the word is degrading to an entire race". So why is it ok for her to use it? I'm a caucasian female and I believe the word is full of hatred and should never be used by anyone. No matter the race. I'm so disappointed that Rihanna who has a platform to do so many positive things would encourage ignorance.
African Americans, and particularly performers and media influencers, should be more conscious of the images and values they are using to define and represent their culture and people. Otherwise, it may be increasingly difficult to be taken as anything other than hypocritical when the N-word comes home to roost in the future. See Rihanna tweets below.

I agree with you. So degrading for anyone to use this word. It should be aganist the law.
Why would she do that after everyone defended her. Rihanna's ego is out of control.
She always curses calling herself a bitch and nigga on twitter. She been doing it for a long time. That's why I didn't rush to defend her. Her stans will be on here soon defending her. Your server may crash lol.
I'm glad you called her out. No one should be using that word. I plan to stop supporting Rihanna. Her music has become porn and dark. Something is mentally wrong with her. Happy you guys are finally noticing.
Great article but black blogs will allow her to get away with it. She will not be called out. I think she is so trashy and immature. The things she tweets to those young kids on twitter is full of poison to their young soul.
Well said. She is disgusting and fueling hate. What a dummy.
Retard. Dear Rihanna white people can and will say the n word. That's why the editor freely called you one retard. Peoplelike you are part of the problem. I will never support her again.
Clueless and sad. Respect yourself before you demand it from others. Hotmess. She and JayZ think its ok to use the term. I have no problem calling them one.
She's a ignorant weave head chicken. What do you expect from trash.
@Emily no she's a slutty pop porn star. Nothing she does surprises me. She has the mentality of a hood rat. I never purchased music from this goat sounding non performing girl wacko.
Black people love to call themselves the N word. As long as they use the word so will i if i chose. No need to feel sorry for them richgirllowlife. You are wasting your time. These people don't respect themselves.
Some of you sound just as hateful as Rihanna. I hope none of you will ever use that word. Even if Rihanna and blacks choses to utlize the word that does not give anyone the green light to do so.
Well i follow her on twitter. When she use the n word i always tweet her and call her one lol. I'm waiting on her to call me out because i'm white, so i can then call her out for using the word.
I love what you are doing richgirllowlife. Maybe we should boycott Armani. You should contact the watch dog groups. Put her ignorant ways on front street.
Good job! Keep on going don't stop until someone in the main stream media hears about it. I may do a write up on this for February. Speak out people are to silent.
She's a trashy person richgirl she'll never be a Beyonce. Shes always drunk and cursing acting like a immature brat. No in the USA buys her albums most of her record sells are out of the country. Don't waste you time and energy. In the next five years she be gone.
I blacks like the the word n**** I see nothing wrong with whites using it. I'm happy that magazine didn't apologize to her.
Great article but the media will allow her to get away with it but don't worry because she'll be called a million more ni***s. No one will care the next time it happens because she encourages it.
