Bastardization of Nigeria used to refer to those of African ancestry that were enslaved to enrich the ruling class of the U.S.A. up until the Civil War. Afterwards, primarily used by ignorant white people cracker redneck as term to insult and disparage black people. Term was uttered before each and every lynching. Think before you speak.
In the 20th century slur was taken up by all kinds of whites as they began to fear economic and social competition from blacks for scarce resources (i.e. clean affordable housing and virtuous white women).
Sadly, with the rise of hip-hop music and culture in the late 20th century, uneducated young blacks embraced the term as "real." As also led to the phenomenom of wiggers wigga (i.e. K. Fed, Eminem, Kanye West, etc.)
Can also refer to an lazy, trifling and educated person of any race (i.e. Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, etc.)

a term that is racist, as long as the speaker of it is not black. Forbidden on most all of television and other forms of public entertainment, at times referenced to as the "n-word".
