Nah I’m gonna explain myself because these strangers are black women. And I especially love THE BLACK WOMAN. I’ve never in my life bashed one. Never will. So yeah ima explain myself and shed some clarity on a clip that’s being spread around with little context https://t.co/HoxxtEvxSW

Idk why. I would love to have this conversation. Im not scared to and I’m not here to fight. I think we SHOULD have this dialogue. Cause I understand the frustration. So let’s shed light on it and clear things up https://t.co/cox14vnbix

I wanna be VERY clear on where EYE stand. I’ve never bashed a black woman in my life. NEVER have and never WILL. It ain’t in ME. I don’t feel it. I improperly used the word “especially” in the interview which made it seem to some as if I was separating myself and looking down on

— Cyn Santana 🇸🇻🇩🇴 (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019

If I’ve offended anyone I do indeed apologize, I used the word “especially” in a way that changed the context of what i was trying to say for some, and while i was TRYING to be sensitive I used the word “personal” because I know its a sensitive topic. I’m not here to attack.

But now let’s have a deeper talk. I’m not mad at this conversation. I think its an important one to have actually even if it’s at my expense

Growing up there was always a lot of tension between a Latina woman and a black woman. Why? I never understood it. Until my recent adult years. I understood why it’s a sensitive thing. The things black women endured historically. Actually, a lot of thanks to y’all.

I’ve used the N word ignorantly most of my life not knowing that it was actually a bad word and it was offensive. Took that word out of my vocab. The term “Spanish” was commonly used, in urban culture, in the hood, in the ghetto, to describe a Latina. took that out of my vocab

— Cyn Santana 🇸🇻🇩🇴 (@Cyn_Santana) January 9, 2019

I also never understood the term “Afro Latino” til recently. “Your nose is big and your hair is curly and nappy” yes. But I never knew what these terms were. It’s not that I didnt identify as Afro Latina or black. And truth is, I was afraid to offend anyone identifying as such

Y’all can say I’m dumb n ghetto. I’ve prob done a lot of dumb and ghetto shit my whole life but one thing I’m not is a racist/woman basher. Every day I make a conscious effort to be a better and wiser person. So once again I apologize because my intent is NEVER to hurt or attack
