Your Definition
Nigger is a term referring to people who have black or dark skin. This term comes from Latin (niger-a-um) meaning black. Hence [Niger] River (Black River). This can be used in a derogatory manner to insult [black people]. However this is the only official racial slur that actually has a definition and meaning concerning the skin color of blacks. This can be used racially and literally, only some people dislike the term for it's [uncomfortable] and MODERN slur meaning. Some people who do not have dark or black skin are afraid to use this term to describe actual black people because of the hating message it may convey, but blacks are allowed by some unconventional authority to use this term among themselves and use other racial slurs which do not officially concern whites (cracker). This is not [technically] a racial slur. But anyone can take something so simple and general and be offended by it so sometimes it seems that it is better not to talk at all, lest we offend someone, somehow.
