Nigger
 
The word nigger carries with it much of the hatred and repulsion directed toward Africans and African Americans. Historically, nigger defined, limited, and mocked African Americans. It was a term of exclusion, a verbal justification for discrimination. Whether used as a noun, verb, or adjective, it reinforced the stereotype of the lazy, stupid, dirty, worthless parasite. No other American ethnophaulism carried so much purposeful venom, as the following representative list suggests:

* Nigger, v. To wear out, spoil or destroy.
* Niggerish, adj. Acting in an indolent and irresponsible manner.
* Niggerlipping, v. Wetting the end of a cigarette while smoking it.
* Niggerlover, n. Derogatory term aimed at whites lacking in the necessary loathing of blacks.
* Nigger luck, n. Exceptionally good luck, emphasis on undeserved.
* Nigger-flicker, n. A small knife or razor with one side heavily taped to preserve the user's fingers.
* Nigger heaven, n. a designated place, usually the balcony, where blacks were forced to sit, for example, in an integrated movie theater or church.
* Nigger knocker, n. axe handle or weapon made from an axe handle.
* Nigger rich, adj, Deeply in debt but ostentatious.
* Nigger shooter, n. A slingshot.
* Nigger steak, n. a slice of liver or a cheap piece of meat.
* Nigger stick, n. police officer's baton.
* Nigger tip, n. leaving a small tip or no tip in a restaurant.
* Nigger in the woodpile, n. a concealed motive or unknown factor affecting a situation in an adverse way.
* Nigger work, n. Demeaning, menial tasks.5

Nigger has been used to describe a dark shade of color (nigger-brown, nigger-black), the status of whites who interacted with blacks (nigger-breaker, -dealer, -driver, -killer, -stealer, -worshipper, and -looking), and anything belonging to or associated with African Americans (nigger-baby, -boy, -girl, -mouth, -feet, -preacher, -job, -love, -culture, -college, -music, and so forth).6 Nigger is the ultimate American insult; it is used to offend other ethnic groups, as when Jews are called white-niggers; Arabs, sandniggers; or Japanese, yellow-niggers.

That's what I thought too.

You know, nigger is just the mispronunciation of "negro" way back during the Civil War. Southern states pronounced it like that and somehow managed to make it into a derogatory word.... stupid hicks. :mad: I'm sorry if I've offended any African Americans upon writing this. :shuffle:

My grandfather freely used the term "nigger", although it was not in a derogatory context. He simply was of a different generation, one which simply used the term "nigger" to describe blacks. Heh... see? I use the term "Black". That is the term that I grew up using. In 20 years people will think that I am being racist. I am not. It is simply the term that I grew up using. Others will have grown up using "African American." Lord only knows what people will use in another 20 years.

NOOOooooo!

I honestly think that alot of black people in the US are just super sensative to having anyone else but themselves remark that they are black... I mean, I lived in France for 10 years, we had African immigrants over there, the way California has Mexican immigrants. Sometimes over here I'll see a white person call themselves black and remark about how much that means to them... :insane: Then I notice, that yes... Perhaps in a far far distant and removed branch of your family tree you had a black person there... Big whoop.

There was a time I was uncertain what to call people of color. Until I was talking to another black guy (in the military). He asked me who was who, I just pointed and said "that guy... the hmmm... ahhhh.... (crap)... The dark green Marine" (term used by others in the military trying to point out a person's skin color without doing so).

He then went on to tell me not to use that term, and it's a cop-out. Just like using the term "african-american." What if they aren't american? What if they aren't african, or have nothing to do with them? Just call them black!

Since when is skin pigmentation in and of itself an insult?

Sorry to let you down timebomb. I'd call you pigmently challeneged before I ever called you a nig. :D :angel:

Actually, the term "nigger" was passed down from brother to brother and originated back during the disturbing times where African Americans were mistreated greatly on the streets of Harlem. It was originally meant to be "snack pack", but then a white boy with a speach problem couldn't pronounce it and just said "negro pudding". As he said that, a black man with a hearing problem heard it as "nigger" the man also had a problem of jumping to conclusions and he assumed it meant that black people are inferior. To this day that definition stands.

God Bless America

Yes, I'm sure it's a word that wasn't created a century ago, it's probably relatively new. I think Ludacris actually made it, right? :rolleyes:

Pfef63 02-08-2005 10:17 PM

No, the kid with the speech problem made it. Ludacris just spread the word through his rap albums.

Racism afflicts society because imperfect races infect it. With only the perfect Aryan race, no racism can rise. That is the goal of our Savior. We wait His return.

KakUMei 02-09-2005 12:04 AM

Wow. you really piss me off.

But I think thats what you are trying to do in the first place.

I bet you wouldn't say anything you are now in front of anyone. Just another one of those "e thugs/cowards"

The true God is not just a man. He will return, and the infidels will see.

Hitler was a fag. God exists only in your mind. You have the IQ of a bannana. Go away and do something good, like jump in front of a bus so atleast we can have some good news surrounding you.
