Nigger is a term referring to people who have black or dark skin. This term comes from Latin (niger-a-um) meaning black. Hence Niger River (Black River). This can be used in a derogatory manner to insult black people. However this is the only official racial slur that actually has a definition and meaning concerning the skin color of blacks. This can be used racially and literally, only some people dislike the term for it's uncomfortable and MODERN slur meaning. Some people who do not have dark or black skin are afraid to use this term to describe actual black people because of the hating message it may convey, but blacks are allowed by some unconventional authority to use this term among themselves and use other racial slurs which do not officially concern whites (cracker). This is not technically a racial slur. But anyone can take something so simple and general and be offended by it so sometimes it seems that it is better not to talk at all, lest we offend someone, somehow.
Hey look at that nigger over there! (racially slurred)
This is the Niger River. (technical and literally used)
Negros live in this place. (racially slurred)

Get the niggermug. Niggardly is said to be the mispronounced origin of the word Nigger or Niggard. Niggard is a very old word. The English meaning is “miser” or “stingy person.” Americans often mistakenly assume it is a variant on the most common insulting term for “African-American.”
The Spanish or Portuguese Negro meaning black or dark seem to be misspoken or misused to insult blacks and black slaves; some Irish where referred to as niggers too during those days.
So you see the term referred to salves or people that were not producing enough work according to the task master. The person that was not working hard enough was said to be a niggard or niggardly in his work habits.
Southerners back in slavery times and later where not the brightest stars in the sky when it came to their native language English; they either mispronounced the word or used it with intent to heap further abuse upon a people they considered not human and derive more work from them. A great number where worked to death.
Sad to say many black today do not know the origin of the term. They too misused it.
