Nigger is an infamous word in current English, so much so that when people are called upon to discuss it, they more often than not refer to it euphemistically as "the N-word." Its offensiveness is not new—dictionaries have been noting it for more than 150 years—but it has grown more pronounced with the passage of time. The word now ranks as almost certainly the most offensive and inflammatory racial slur in English, a term expressive of hatred and bigotry. Its self-referential uses by and among black people are not always intended or taken as offensive (although many object to those uses as well), but its use by a person who is not black to refer to a black person can only be regarded as a deliberate expression of contemptuous racism. Its offensiveness has grown to such an extent in recent decades that sense 3 is now rarely used and is itself likely to be found offensive. The word's occurrence in older literary works by such writers as Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain, and Charles Dickens can be shocking and upsetting to contemporary readers.
A derogatory name for blacks, which only members of that race may use without getting the shit beaten out of them. The only curse would that is allowed to be heard on channels such as Comedy Central, as long as it's used by a brother
Look at the nigger o'er there, building ma house. *puts on white hood*. Lets get 'im Jeb.
Nigger, literally means a dirty ignorant African American. Labeled as a racist term. Don't confuse a nigger for a black person. A nigger is a person who is ignorant(uneducated) and dirty. Niggers usually are the gangster type who act like everyone owes them something or the person who acts as if they were the best thing ever, "the shit."
Usually used to describe a black person in a derogatory manner. Between black people, it can be an endearing word that black people use among eachother. When a white or asian or other race calls a black person nigger, it is considered taboo and very racist.
