the word nigger/nigga originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, meaning the color "black". now it's used as a pejorative for the black people. so why are we even arguing about this when we know it's not a good word to express the color or to use it anyway. black people shouldn't use this either nor should white. thread closed
