🤔
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?
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
it is still a germanic language
i do not know about that
@Deleted User i was jokin
because they teach a lot of shit at school while leavin out important stuff
`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".`
might as well rename history to "hitler is bad and heres why"
it originated as a word referring to people as black skin
but due to its historical context and the context it was used in
