A derogatory word originating during the time of slavery in the United States, and stemming from the word "Negro" which is Spanish for the color Black. This word was used to define any person with non-white skin...even Native Americans. The word caught on as slave owners successfully tried to turn their slaves against each other. Soon slaves were calling each other "niggers". It created an air-tight system that would continue to oppress for hundreds of years to come.
"These niggers have no idea that we are controlling them through the mass-media 'rap' culture," said the white business executive.
