  • in reply to: How the word nigger has evolved #28207

    The word nigger orginated from the latin word niger, meaning black. It was first cited in a dictionary in the 1700’s. The reason the word was offensive is the same reason words such as bitch, kike, and others are offensive. It is not only calling a person out of his name, but it is a way of expressing superiority over a person or group of people. The reason the word is even more offensive now is because it now reminds black people of a time full of hatred, murder, rape, and other violent acts. We as African Americans today have tried to adopt the word in order to taint its offensiveness. Tupac Shakur adapted the word as an acronym in his album Strictly for My Niggaz. NIGGA; Never Ignorant, Getting Goals Accomplished. It’s the same way that many women have adopted the word bitch, but a man should dare not call a woman a bitch.

    I’m glad you explained the meaning of the word. Some people find it offensive because they don’t know what it means. Others find it offensive because its a word that is uncommon, and used mostly in slave narratives or stories related to the ninteenth century. Many people don’t know what it means.

    I was 16 and anxious as hell. She was 18 and had a bangin ass body. Right before: Help me put this condom on. During: I hope I got in the right hole. Right after: Let’s try a different position.
