Nigger is a racial epithet.

Nigga is a general slang word used by blacks and some whites to describe another black person.

They're not even close to the same. It takes more effort to pronounce the "-er", so you can tell when someone is trying to be a racist vs. just trying to use slang.
UGH!

There is waaaaaaaaaay too much negative history for me to even think that any spin off of the N word can be remotely considered good.




I hate it.

I will never forget going to an attorney party......and I was talking to this one african-american attorney who said he didn't like the word "n*gga".

So........there you have it. He's an educated man that knows how some consider it a 'term' of endearment.....but he despises the word.

Any word that has any hint of anything discriminatory........is a BAD IDEA in my opinion.

Sorry if I'm getting emotional......but I got d*amn hate discriminatory descriptions! UGH!
