A euphemism for the N word (n*gger). Primarily used in political contexts when discussing issues like crime or affirmative action (legal racism). It is still an offensive word and its use should be avoided in formal or public contexts. This term was derived from the fact that many Blacks play basketball and receive college scholarships due to their talent in the sport.

Joe: Yeah, I think it's time to get a home security system.
