A word with very loaded connotations in the USA, mainly due to the fact that it was coined during the time of slavery - and can you imagine having zero rights and having a curse word made out of the skin you wear twenty four hours a day every fucking day for your entire life?
There is a division among black people about the word nowadays. Many are using it themselves in an effort to reclaim the word and change its meaning to something of a black term of endearment, but many others would prefer to put it to rest and move on.
To those who complain about the word "cracker;" your poor little wounded feelings are nothing compared to a day in the life of a black person. You do not run the risk of being arrested for buying something expensive because the shop owner thinks you stole the money to buy it, shot for holding a toy gun or wearing a hoodie, arrested for walking while black and being kept in jail so long that you miss your first term of college and lose your scholarship, etc., etc., etc. And if you don't think that African Americans face these things, drink your milk and go take your nap. I'm talking to the big kids.

"Don't you niggers read signs? This is a whites-only establishment!"
"I'm gonna kill you, nigger..."
"TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT! WE AIN'T GONNA INTEGRATE! NO NIGGERS IN OUR SCHOOLS!"
It's actually perfectly normal for there to be a standard of who can use words and who can't:
Mom: "Hi honey-bunny!"
Me: "Hi Mom!"
Stranger: "Hi honey-bunny!"
Me: *creeped out stare*
Stranger: "Aw come on, how come your mom can say it and I can't?"
"I'm gonna kill you, nigger..."
"TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT! WE AIN'T GONNA INTEGRATE! NO NIGGERS IN OUR SCHOOLS!"

Get the nigger mug.a word that racists use. not to be confused with "nigga", a term used amongst blacks only, nigger is an ignorant reference to black people. often attempted to be justified by explaining characteristics of thugs in general, regardless of race. "nigger" is a specific dislike for these people because they are black. NOTE: blacks do not use this term, but instead say "nigga". this stems from slang that most black people are comfortable using with each other. most phraseology today copies this form of slang that replaces "er" with "a", a more relaxed pronunciation. even older blacks use the term "negro" before "nigger".
argued to be a double-standard in the world of racial slurs. this is failing to consider the years of slavery/dehumanization/murder/rape/kidnapping from africa that whites have put blacks through. when a white person says "nigger", blacks think of that debt that can never be repaid when a black person says "cracker" it is simply a reaction to the dislike/distrust for whites, based on slavery, politics, and everyday racism that blacks endure. it would only be a double-standard if blacks made whites into slaves. it is truly a deep term that should best be left alone by white people. "nigger" is immediately understood as racism, and "nigga" is something that another race simply could never relate to.

Get the Nigger mug.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.

Get the Nigger mug.In the present-day English language, the word nigger is an ethnic slur, usually directed at black people. The word originated as a neutral term referring to people with black skin,1 as a variation of the Spanish and Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger (meaning the color "black").2 It was often used derogatorily, and by the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the United States, its usage became unambiguously a pejorative, racist insult. Accordingly, it began to disappear from popular culture, and its continued inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy. Because the term is considered extremely offensive, published written media often replace it with the euphemism "the N-word".
That nigger is very smart.
