im not sure bout the spelling
i think its khuuz or somethin like that

Answer 1

it was originally spelled N I G G E R and used by americans to describe ******* slaves. the whole issue of slavery in the united states is a very difficult one, remaining a constant source of strife and bitterness between the ethnic groups of todays united states, and while many afro americans today use the word among each other with a kind of grim pride, it is considered highly inappropriate if not unlawful for white americans to do the same.

As for the origin, look here.

//edit// alright, it seems i cannot even put in a link to the word... look it up in Wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ (add the word in question here)

I have no idea what you mean by khuuz... could be a slang or dialect variation of -'cause-, which in turn is short for -because-

Answer 2

***** is a slang version of ******* meaning something black yes I find the word offensive when it is used to aggravate or humiliate another person just as the term dago was used on me cause I am italian-american

Answer 3

It's offensive to black people shut up and never say it!
