The white teacher should never have apologized. Another coward, in my opinion.

On noozz, the "N" word.

You mean NIGGER!!!

What a fucken pussy! I never back down from that shit. And I NEVER say nigga... It's always NIGGER with a strong accent on the final R.

What the fuck? The news "reader"? Renee Murphy? A nigger called Murphy?
Disgraceful.

LOL, `verbal brutality`, what a term. How fucked up the world has become, when some nigger getting correctly addressed as a nigger is a newsworthy story.

However, it was incredibly funny how often the teacher repeated the word nigger, priceless.

That was very funny, especially when, in the same breath, he's telling the nig news woman how he's been cured of saying it.

Nigger is an extremely controversial term used in many English-speaking countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia (but also in other languages such as German as a loanword) to refer to people of African descent. During the chattel enslavement of Africans, it was once the standard, casual English term for black people. Associations with the word traditionally have been an institutional contempt, a presumption of inherent inferiority, even of bestiality, making it extremely pejorative and abusive.

The word "nigger" originates from the Dutch and German "neger," which is their orthography and phonetics for the Portuguese and Spanish "negro." The English distorted neger to "negar" to "nigger." "Neger" (sometimes spelled "neggar") prevailed in the North in New York under the Dutch and in Philadelphia in the Moravian and "Pennsylvania Dutch" [German] communities. For example, the New York City "African Burial Ground" was originally known as "Begraaf Plaats van de Neger." It acquired its offensive and dehumanizing character from the confluence of Catholic and Protestant religious doctrine of nations engaged in slavery and, in America, the American Revolution, which could not admit to black equality, even after freedom. Thus, after the Revolution nigger became a racial epithet, a word of hatred, for the black presence in "white" America.

Historically, African Americans have appropriated the slur, subverting it to a self-referential term that is often suggestive of familiarity, endearment, or kinship. When spelled phonetically, the word often was represented as nigguh]http://www.answers.com/topic/nigger
