Joe...You are partly right IMO. The word is defined by it’s use of it and the context within the statement. But yes, I already knew that.
If you understand this, I guess this means you understand your post was a wrong before you even wrote it. Or at least partly wrong
BTW, I grew up and went to school in a very 'Black' environment, I really do not think there is much you could tell me about Blacks and their language as well as their feeling of racism. I have first hand knowledge of this subject from both sides of the argument.
FYI: From: The Readers Digest Encyclopedic Dictionary Funk & Wagnalls College Dictionary) 1975.
'Nigger' stems from the word 'Niggardly'; Meaning covetous or avaricious; parsimonious; stingy. Meaning insufficient; scanty; a niggardly portion - adv In the manner of a niggard. 'Niggard'; A stingy person.
NOTE: This definition was before the liberal socialist want-t-bees of the PC (PURE CRAPP) correct world had the very definition of the word changed to:
'Nigger' Dialect or slang for Negro. This is from the Webster’s New World College Dictionary 1999.
Politically correct is pure bull-shit! The liberals are going to keep changing things until nobody including him or her self is going to know what helll they are saying and what they mean. But then again, maybe confusion was their intentions all along. AH-HA!!!! Think About It!
May The Truth Keep Us Forever Free!
