A word that is mostly used by people of african descent and get offended by it if you say it which is understandable but some may say faggot which is just as bad as the n word. Because both of the words have history.
A N-Word is a particular word that is a different version of the word Nigga. But the N-Word is Nigga and or Nigger. If you are not black and do not have an N-Word pass from a black person than if you say this to or around a black guy you are gonna get jumped.
N-word is word commonly used by black people plus other races... except for whites. But saying it isn’t necessarily racist. This being black people say it as a greeting to there own race and to WHITE people, a white person isn’t going to call a black person a cracker. No race owns the n-word, it can be freely used
