This word originated during the American slave era and was created through a combination of negro, the Latin word for black, and Nigeria where certain slaves hailed from. Due to illiteracy being rampant during that period in America, foreign words were misspelled, mispronounced, and changed due to the slang of different areas, these words morphed into the commonly known word today. It is now mostly used by the very race that claims to abhor its use by other races. It’s a “I can say it, but you can’t” situation. The reality is the word is kept in the modern vernacular due to it being used so commonly in music such as rap, and Hollywood stars in movies and such. The modern spelling variation, nigga, is used instead of the historical version with members of the black race claiming its somehow more acceptable, but in reality it is no different. Young people from other races use the modern variation regularly because they feel it’s a part of pop culture and perfectly okay to say. Mix those attitudes with the casual use of racist terms like pinky, cracker or “cracka”, that are used as a derogatory towards whites, and it creates an environment of ignorance where young people just don’t understand the history or pain these words can cause. Until personal responsibility wins out over ignorance and self entitlement, these words will continue to be used.

Used as a slightly vulgar and slightly sarcastic term of endearment, usable by and subjectable to people of any race.
Nigger is about 70% buddy and 30% motherfucker.

A word used about 150 years ago as a racist slur or term specifically for African American People Now in days its offending African Americans because it is a term that represents HATE, RACISM, AND more but African Americans turned the word into a slang word for other African Americans that is not racist if a African American is saying it.
WRONG: ew, i hate those niggers their gonna ruin it all
CORRECT: yeah, that nigga was there for me through every thing.

A black persona that thinks that they are not a democrat but talk, walk, and act like a democrat. A nigger will say they didn’t vote for joe Biden but they really did.
If they wear a mask while driving alone they are a nigger democrat. If they are white they are a ignorant joe Biden supporter.

a Nigger in ancient times was a low class useless race of the human species. that was no good, wouldnt work, wouldnt learn education to be smart, and always starting trouble and fighting with everyone and rape women and little children...and was exiled to the corner of the united states because they got tired of them killing everyone....whew doggie sorry for the last bold expression it hurts remembering it.
you have to see this sentence in a demeaning sarcastic insincere way or accent to show no hostility and set them off..you must show this in case it goes on today and be like.... Hey Nigger... and dont do no hand gestures at all so they wont take it the wrong way or as a threat and try to kill you. its very educational, this method saved so many lives.
