2017-10-11 14:50:39 UTC  

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

2017-10-11 14:50:44 UTC  

but nigger by itself means black person

2017-10-11 14:50:54 UTC  

a derogatory word due to historical context

2017-10-11 14:50:57 UTC

2017-10-11 14:51:06 UTC  

meaning of the word is absolute

2017-10-11 14:51:09 UTC

2017-10-11 14:51:12 UTC

`In the present-day English language, the word nigger is an ethnic slur, usually directed at black people. The word originated as a neutral term referring to people with black skin,[1] as a variation of the Spanish and Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger (meaning the color "black").[2] It was often used derogatorily, and by the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the United States, its usage became unambiguously a pejorative, racist insult. Accordingly, it began to disappear from popular culture, and its continued inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy. Because the term is considered extremely offensive, published written media often replace it with the euphemism "the N-word".`
