Nigger

Origins come from the Latin word negar (black in Latin). from there it has progressed over the years, up until the civil war. around that point in time it was normal to pronounce it nigger. Over the years many slang terms have come from it. Such as ginger which was popular during the integration of baseball (if you witch the n and the first g it spells out nigger). As for the last entry above me i will also go onto say that redneck was never a derogatory term. Ironically it came from white people who worked hard in the sun. They'd come in with their "red necks." So it originally is a term of pride that you worked hard. Many consider it a racist term now but that accusation is far from it's humble origins.

Niggers used to be a term to describe black people.

Johnny sold me some bunk weed and drank all my beer. Then he ate my whole pizza, laid down on the couch and went to sleep...... He's such a nigger.

Nigger

Any person, male or female, who is extremely ignorant, selfish, and/or looks down upon other people. Skin color does not play a factor in determining if a person is qualified to be a "Nigger". This word is in no way, shape, or form ironic. At all.

Racist Guy: Let's go hang that stupid nigger!

Norm Guy: Whoa. I don't think he's a nigger; he's a pretty cool guy once you get to know him.

Racist Guy: But....he's black...can't you see that?

Norm Guy: So you want to hang him just because he's black? Now YOU'RE the nigger.

Racist Guy: I'm white asshole. I can't be a nigger.

Norm Guy: Well now you're a dumbass nigger. Nice job. And give me my rope back...the fuck is wrong with you anyways?
