It all started with the impossible union of two different cultures: Northern Europe (United Kingdom/Netherlands) and Southern Europe(Spain/Portugal) and an unprecidented opportunity to call a truce. To make a long story short, the word was made possible by the union of the Spanish word for black, NEGRO, and the English WORD FORMULATOR in the form of the hyphenated r, or 'r. The word keep'r means one who keeps, the word speak'r means one who speaks, and finally .... guess what negro'r means ... one who literally does black. Putting the two together you get NEGRO'r, pronounced classically as negrah as we see in the old movies like Roots. But, why? Aren't there words for HUMAN in each African (or any dark skinned) culture that are independent of skin color in meaning. Human in Swahili just means human. What was the motivation to strike a healthy self definition from the victim population? Well, money, drugs, and the beginning of human trafficking cartels mixed with how language is used to conjugate a false identity in this case. You know how language (conjugation) structures work: el (as in el nino) for the 'male' words and la (as in la nina) for the 'female' words/concepts. Is it so difficult to understand that if gender can be conjugated then 'race' can be conjugated as well. This implies what we all know, specifically that the darker your skin is the 'less valuable' are the items associated with you. It's in the implied languare of 'white and black'. It's why, if you follow me, we went through that stage of development where we had to PROVE that BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, the old BLACK VS WHITE thing. But, you see, racism is just runaway drunken imagery concocted by those who hastily emptied their Galapagos-intended vessels of the new species of turtles and lizards and quickly replaced them with ...... BLACK PEOPLE (from 'white' people's point of view from that time period).
You have to know a bit of history here. At the time in history between the 1490's and c. 1880 ad, the European Renaissance was in full swing with colonists leaving European prisons (mostly) 'discovering' NEW WORLDS all over the place. Mind you, the darker skinned people from around the equator were no more important than the turtles and the lizards (who they were commonly compared to). The European colonists treated them like shit, and they were likened to vermin to be killed or run from their own land. Moreover, if they were NOT KILLED, they were ENSLAVED as animals and often hauled miles away to be used as animals. Whole societies, their structures, their libraries, their ways of life were destroyed ... because they were 'niggers' from the racist perspective, a waste of flesh on their own landscape. Words have power, and no other word has had more negative power than the word nigger, negra, nigga applied to people, however they want to pronounce it. It was created by drunken pirate exiles calling themselves pilgrims for Jesus, and like Cortez they killed not only in the name of Jesus (blaspheming against Christianity with their actions), but destroying the self concepts and self identities in their victims. This is why it pains me so much to hear that scar coming out of our own mouths, calling each other nigger. Remember that scene from Roots where Kunta Kinte was beaten into saying his name was Toby? Well, that was the nice version. Most victims weren't given a name until much later, and that name was subject to change. After all, when you have multiple different people beating you, they were each apt to give you another name, like dogs.
So, to answer the question: What is a nigger? Unlike the explanation given by Whoopi Goldberg on Hollywood Squares using the word Nigardly (which by the way means selfish) as the starting point, the word nigger (negro'r) is an opportunity for Satan to walk the Earth in the form of the racists themselves. It's written as "negro'r" on the pirate cargo manifests if you look closely. But, as Martin Luther King, Jr. put it there is no greater evil in the universe than racism. Racism uses the word nigger as an OPPORTUNITY to colorize a victim population, via skin color in this case, (as opposed to the one used against the Jews) in order to make the victim feel dirty. I sincerely believe that racists have trouble with the color because its the color of shit, as they say. It's the color that they associate with potty training and filth from birth with nothing else to reference it to. But, if you take the time to think about two things, (1) the real skin coloring agent is MELANIN, if you have never been told that, and (2) when shit gets old, doesn't it turn ..... "white"? These are dreadful metaphors (please stop calling each other names), but nonetheless they are the things I've heard directed at me personally. Remember what that olympic athlete said about that nigger jungle smell? And she got away with it.
What I'm definitely not doing is endorsing racism in any way against anyone. Nor am I ashamed of the way that I look or anyone else's physical appearance. But, it's the LANGUAGE that has formulated a VERY REAL TRAP of sorts, a human conceptual rat trap BASED ONLY ON HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT COLORS! It is so important to realize that if this could happen to the dark skinned people of Africa (the worst victims) then a human rat trap can be fashioned for ANYONE. Imagine a cargo hold of people selected on the basis of hair color, or the most funky athletic smell, or ear lobe shape. etc. Sounds stupid? Well, Adolph Hitler got away with it, as well as Sadam Huessen, and Idi Amin Dada. There are other examples like what's happened in Rawanda, Vietnam's killing fields, and Basnia. What they have in common is a conceptual target (a human rat) and those who would carry out extermination against a target population, against rats in a trap!!!
What is a nigger? It's just one of the most classic examples of this targetting mechanism, an opportunity to be stupid, designed to make the victims associate themselves with the opposite "color concept" on a political pinwheel. The multiple cultures, languages, and the wealth of personal self interpretations have been lost. Who knows who the first people in those dark animal cargo holds really were? No one has asked, really. Will it happen again? Definitely. We have to keep our eyes open. France today is a good example of how things can get out of hand. I want to leave you with this: NO ONE BELONGS IN A RAT TRAP!!! THERE IS REALLY NO SUCH THING AS A NIGGER!!! ANON!!!
