i think blacks did, and i hate how they are the worst racists out there. they see what they want and act like crazy folks, what is up with eating chicken? some i see always ordering chicken they start to act like chicken the way the move their head and when they get upset you can see it. monique needs to go on adiet and learn that fat women are not what needs to be supported, this is not a good thing for women who are dying or have a hard time with their health and die form being what she calls PHAT.
she just needs to calm down and act like she is not a freak. take away her show and put her on mad tv for the raosting of monique!! balck people use the word so why should anyone else be called racist or offenseive for useing it they use it with pride so they shoud drop it them selves or jsut take it if they hear it from someone who is not black. slavery was years so many years ago and i think blacks should just get over it now, and life wil be easier for them and quit blaming the other non blacks for their issues and qiut making songs about stupid stuff like how they get rich off of taking other peoples money and call it hussling whenthis is why they go to jail black pride my bum, its more like ignorant pride. and they need to learn how to spell corredtly andtalk in english and not talk like they are retarded. mouf and adding s's to everything it sounds so gay and unintelligent. don't like it? deal, it america!!!

Answer 2

I think that this word needs to be banned from our society. Its bad enough that white slave masters invented it. But now today ignorant black people call each other this word. I don't think it should be used at all. Also educate people on the meaning of this word. Because the word n*gger means a stupid, ignorant person. Which is everyone that still uses that word.

Answer 3

The word "niXXer" is a highly controversial term used in many English-speaking countries, including the United States, Canada, Britain, and Australia to refer to individuals with dark skin, especially those of African descent who previously were racially classified by the now outdated term *****. It was once the standard, casual English term for black people.

Thankfully now a socially unacceptable term of reference.

Answer 4

Most of the romance languages (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese...) have the word "*****" meaning "black" (in colour) derived from the Latin "niger". During the period in America's history when black workers were shipped to America to work as slaves, this word came to be adopted from the hispanic South American languages to describe a person of dark skin. Essentially, a "*****" person simply means a "black" person. Through constant repetition of the Spanish word in the American accent, it seems likely that the word was corrupted from "*****" to "niggero" to simply "******". The term "******" has taken on perjorative qualities as it implies not only darkness of skin, but a general lack of intelligence and sophistication. At the time of the word's origin, various English speaking North American settlers who set cultural standards considered black people fundamentally inferior and less civilized. The term is generally considered offensive to black people not only because it singles them out on the basis of their skin colour, but also, because of its origin, it carries connotations of slavery, inferiority and oppression.

Answer 5

It's a bastardized form of the word ***** developed in the southern U.S. way too long ago for anyone to 'keep the flame burning' so to speak. (I really didn't intend a pun there.) So sad people have to be labeled and not just be 'people'.

Answer 6

I think the black people came up with that term for like a slang word for their boiz or somthing

Answer 7

****** came from ancient White slave owners who used to buy Black slaves at slave trades. The slave trades were coined, "Pic-A-******", which is where the word "picnic" comes from. So basically, the word ****** came from hatin *** White people who were mad that their dominant slaves were ******* their whorish White women with ***** bigger than the White slave owners body.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Nigeria, also known as Niger, was a prime exporter of slaves during the slavery era.... thus... the term...

Answer 10

is a term used to refer to dark-skinned peoples, especially Africans or people of African descent. From the time of the Atlantic slave trade to the 1960s, it was a standard, casual English term for black people. The word later became associated with an overt contempt, a racist assumption of black inherent inferiority, even of bestiality, making it extremely pejorative, and is now almost universally considered to be extremely vulgar. However, in the last 100 years, it has also become an informal and self-referential term among some African-Americans. In such a context, it is often spelled "*****," to mitigate offense, and to imitate the non-rhotic pronunciation used in AAVE.

Usage notes
Useage of this word to refer to blacks or people of African descent is usually considered pejorative (most often extremely, highly, or strongly so). The word is, however, used by some black people as a neutral or even affirmative term when used in the form of "*****". Usage by non-blacks, ****** is almost invariably considered offensive.

In its pejorative sense, it arguably ranks as the most insulting racial epithet in the English language, with strong connotations of cultural and intellectual inferiority or deficiency. The controversial nature of the word makes it unacceptable for use in most modern mainstream American media. The word is usually censored in direct quotations or euphemistically referred to as the "N-word" to blunt it's potential negative impact.
