how are they absolute?

with more than 1 meaning?

to you, to me, to anyone

and different languages?

nigger holds the same meaning

wrong

to you, nigger could mean friend

to a rich man 200 years ago, it could mean "my slave"

🤔

YES IT DOES

thanks for understanding

not really, in the context it was used it may mean slave or friend

but nigger by itself means black person

a derogatory word due to historical context

yes

meaning of the word is absolute

so callin someone black... isnt discriminating but correct

but the context it used in is relative

its historical context is extremely offensive

okay, youre better at explaining this than me

it can be

it was used as a word to describe black slaves by rich white people

doesnt have to

theres still the word nigga

so if you haev a white person call a black person nigger it can be percieved to be offensive and an act of belittling someone based of race

which existed before slavery

and still does

but its not okay if whites use it?

nigger is a word derived from the world negro

the original word is negro

and its a nickname/term adopted to describe black slaves

negro means black in some european language... dont remember whichone it was

the word negro wasnt very popular before calling black people negros im assuming

ah okay

because english is a germanic language and many other languages come from the same roots

its why you can see sharing words that have similar meanings

in german its schwarz though

a black guy is ein schwarzer mann

better than school teachers here LUL

english is still a germanic language

even if it is not identical as german
