So.. I sorted my thoughts about the Hwasa Situation.
Disclaimer: I'm not black, but I'm half-india, I have brown skincolor and I've faced racismn in my life (kindergarden-after highschool), so don't jump at me if my opinion doesn't fit with yours. +++
Just saying bc u know- Twitter. No more words needed.
Anyway.
Accusing Hwasa for black facing: Honestly, since Mamamoo made a cover for a Bruno Mars Song, I found it stupid to call it black facing, because no one made fun of anyone. I'm in the cosplay scene and you know +++
I don't see a problem with making your skintone darker for a COSTUME and they wore a COSTUME. I don't say black facing is okay, I am against it, if you do it to make fun of someone and it's out of representing a person you like and appreciate, then f*ck yourself.++
Of course there a other reasons as well but I think you get my point.
Accusing Hwasa of saying the n-word:
Well I can't say much about that. I only saw ONE video where she was supposed to say the n-word. For me it sounded like the korean word "neaga" which sounds pretty similiar+
but I can't say much about that, because I don't know the real song or lyrics, I don't know korean as well so- Yeah, would be glad if someone could tell me the name of that song so I can make a research on that. If she said it then yes, absolutely no excuse to defend her on that+
Accusing Hwasa of saying she is a "black/african unnie":
It's really fishy since it was a translation at a concert and some koreans said she didn't say that and it was a translation mistake. Well. I can't proof that at all, I'd need to learn korean to do that. But I wanna say+++
I personally think black woman are like the most beautiful creatures on this earth, I litterally gay panic every time I see a black woman- So I don't think it's bad to say "damn I look like xy" in a positive way. If it's negative, well, self explained.+++
But Hwasa indeed laughed a little after she said whatever she said and since it's so fishy what's true or not.. I would keep that in mind and see if something like that will happen again, maybe that will clear things out.++
And lastly the video of Hwasa wearing African clothes and accusing her of being racist with that bc it was supposed to scare people:
I think, out of this situation, you can wear whatever you want if you are educated and respectful with the history to certain things.
But then again- I haven't seen any subtitled videos or clear translations to what they said and only saw that one clip everyone keeps spreading. Don't spread things without CLEARLY knowing the context. Yes, there laughing reactions were kinda suspicious but then again: ++
I want translations and a full video.
And with that imma stop here. You can block me or whatever, I don't care about that. I'm here to discuss with people in a polite way.
