Warning The use of the "N-word" will be used for educational purposes during this episode so please listen with caution.

The word "ngger" carries with it much of the hatred and repulsion directed toward Africans and African Americans. Historically, ngger defined, limited, and mocked African Americans. It was a term of exclusion, a verbal justification for discrimination. Whether used as a noun, verb, or adjective, it reinforced the stereotype of the lazy, stupid, dirty, worthless parasite. “N*gga” is a word that is used 500,000 times a day on Twitter while “bro” and “dude” — two of the terms with which the n-word is synonymous to many people younger than 35 — are used 300,000 and 200,000 times, respectively which means not only Black people use this term, which brings up the concern if anyone should be using it at all.

A few definitions of the use of "Ngger:

N*ggerish, adj. Acting in an indolent and irresponsible manner.

N*ggerlover, n. Derogatory term aimed at whites lacking in the necessary loathing of blacks.

N*gger rich, adj, Deeply in debt but ostentatious.

N*gger stick, n. police officer's baton.

N*gger tip, n. leaving a small tip or no tip in a restaurant.
