yo yo yo nigger nigger ho!
nigger= bastardisation of the word negro, simple. Read more into it if you want.this word carrys the burden of a really dark time in america for african american people and whites alike. In my opinion it is a hateful word that left its definition in the dictionary many many decades ago. A whole lot of tyranny and abuse lingers on the use of this word, and somehow this generation embraces it. I have heard it used to refer a friend, in all sorts of ways today. Bottom line is this word needs to be buried and forgotten because simply we as humans will make mistakes in history but certainly have the ability to evolve in the future. I think today we for the majority see one another as equal, therefor a slightly educated person would have no need to use this word.

You know what cracks me up? Niggardly and how it puts people's panties into a giant wad.
MoePunn ...So is pickaninny , moon cricket, Coon, & Jigaboo they all hold the same weight, but there's something super direct about the word Nigger, watch the youtube clip in my last post... Mooney might be able to help break it down for some...
Agreed. The word belongs in the dustbin of history with the swastika.this word carrys the burden of a really dark time in america for african american people and whites alike.

Don't forget The Nigger of the "Narcissus" by Joseph Conrad.I think we should ban all of Mark Twain's literature that involves the character "Nigger Jim".

As I said in a previous post ... the "N" word isn't in my vocabulary. I was raised by a Mom who was from the South and prejudiced toward Blacks. Growing up in Los Angeles during the 1940s, I remember adult Black men doing the "Step & Fetch It" routine ... and calling me, a seven year old kid, sir. This shit never computed with me at all. I remember as a Junior High kid, sitting at a diner counter having a burger. I put a quarter in the jukebox and selected five tunes, all by guys like Earl Bostic, Big Jay McNeely and Joe Houston. Two Black adult men were sitting in the booth behind me having a cup of coffee. Some asshole at the end of the counter said: "Hey! Do we have to listen to that Jigaboo music? The owner called the cops thinking the two Black guys were disturbing his customers with the music. Guess he didn't see me put the money in the jukebox. Anyway, two cops showed up and started to hassle the two Black guys. They took their coffee cups and smelled them, thinking they may have poured booze into them. The cops asked the two guys to leave. With that, I GOT PISSED OFF and told the cops and the owner behind the counter off. I started spouting off about liberty and the Constitution and individual rights. Yep, even then, fourteen years old, I was telling these two fucker cops that they were working for those two Black guys and not the other way around. I guess they listened, because they left and the two Black guys finished their coffee. They smiled at me when as the left the cafe. I kept boogying to the sounds of Joe Houston.
Man, to this day I love that music.
But then again, I'm not White ... I'm Italian.

Thats a great story Redd, too bad aint more of them in the world...
A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery in DC was
staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting
depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park bench.
Two of the figures had black weenies, but the one in the middle had a pink
weenie.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble
interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for
nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of
African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society. 'In fact,'
he pointed out,
'some serious critics believe that the pink weenie also reflects the
cultural and sociological
oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.'
After the curator left, a young man in a Kentucky T-shirt approached the
couple and said, 'Would you like to know what the painting is really
about?'
'Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the
gallery?' asked the couple.
'Because I'm the guy who painted it,' he replied. 'In fact, there are no
African-Americans depicted at all. They're just three Kentucky coal
miners, and the guy in the middle went home for lunch.''
