It is nothing more than a derogatory term used from the time Africans became slaves through the civil rights movement. The black race was purer and their skin much darker then and people who were afraid of them called them "jigaboos" because their eyes and teeth were so white and features much larger. They considered them the boogie man. This term should never be used as we have come so far as a people and it is horrible and ugly. It also has nothing to do with some of the definitions here, like people who listen to rap and hip hop music.
