lol, Grav ya that's some comedy, as always. Oh I found this definition from dictionary.com, it did mention black in #1, but in #2, it didn't say anything about black.
nig·ger ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ngr)
n. Offensive Slang
1.
a. Used as a disparaging term for a Black person: You can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world calls a nigger (James Baldwin).
b.Used as a disparaging term for a member of any dark-skinned people.
2. Used as a disparaging term for a member of any socially, economically, or politically deprived group of people: Gun owners are the new niggers... of society (John Aquilino).

Yes, and since you don't know what it means, or how it's used, let me tell you. It was what white people called black people when we were slaves. When a person says it in society, it's generally meant as a degrading term towards a black person, much like "chink" is for Chinese people. Now, even if you did mean it with the second definition, you know that it's generally used as a degrading term for a black man, so why use it in the first place. Using that is just looking for trouble.
