Nigger.
n. Offensive Slang
1. A. Used as a disparaging term for a Black person: "You can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world calls a nigger" (James Baldwin).
B. Used as a disparaging term for a member of any dark-skinned people.
2. Used as a disparaging term for a member of any socially, economically, or politically deprived group of people.
I really think this definition needs an update. Racism has morphed in to whatever the black person throwing it wants it to mean. If someone, it doesn't matter who or for what real reason, somehow slights a black person that none black person gets labeled a racist. Somehow that just smacks or racism in and of its self. It's as if black people believe that it is fundamentally impossible for every none-black person to not be racist.
