Nigger.

The term nigger  is now probably the most offensive word in English. Its degree of offensiveness has increased markedly in recent years, although it has been used in a derogatory manner since at least the Revolutionary War. Definitions 1a, 1b, and 2 represent meanings that are deeply disparaging and are used when the speaker deliberately wishes to cause great offense. Definition 1a, however, is sometimes used among African-Americans in a neutral or familiar way. Definition 3 is not normally considered disparaging—as in “The Irish are the niggers of Europe” from Roddy Doyle's The Commitments —but the other uses are considered contemptuous and hostile.

Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive.

  

a black person.

a member of any dark-skinned people.

a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc.  

a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks;

a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.

a hidden snag or hindrance

 

"Woman is the nigger of the world." (I'll get back to this in a later post.)

 

Now, can someone tell me what I just read (referring to the things underlined)? Also, watch the following video and tell me what I just saw and heard.

OK.That damn girl had some nerve posting that video to the internet. Number two, look at the definiton I found on dictionary.com. *raised eyebrow*

 

I am speechless, honestly. I am mad. I can't put together a rational statement of what I would like to say. My mind is scrambled up with so many comebacks to this NIGGER thing. I don't know anymore. *shaking my head* 

 

I personally believe Nigger needs to be removed from the dictionary.

 

First off, the whole meaning is a contradiction. The top meaning of nigger is 'a black person'. So, as you continue reading, why do you come upon persons OF ANY OTHER RACE OR ORIGIN? Persons who are dark-skinned, who suffered prejudice like blacks, who are contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc., and who are economically, poltically, or socially disenfranchised. Then there is a 'hidden snag' or 'hindrance'. Wow.

 

Are those the characteristics of a black person?

Are blacks low, mean, worthless, abdominable, disgusting, abhorrent, etc.?

Are blacks the only race that have suffered from the deprivation of rights and citzenship in this country?

Are blacks a hindrance to society?

 

Would that girl be considered a nigger because of her act of ignorance?
