29. "RE: except that the white man made it up n/m" In response to In response to 24
<yeah thats great you can still blame niggas for everyone using that word.> you really can... white people attached it to slaves as the word 'nigger' originally meant one who is ignorant. over time it somehow became attached to skin color. then black people adopted it among themselves for some reason (to mock white people? to take away the stigma?) and changed the spelling in the process. the way i see it, anybody that uses the word without being conscious of it's history or meaning is... a nigger, in the original sense of the word, whether they're black, white, or other color.
