"Racism- 1. a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2. racial prejudice or discrimination" -merraiam-webster
"Ni***r- 1. usually offensive; a black person 2. usually offensive; a member of any dark-skinned race 3. a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons" -merraiam-webster
Usage Discussion(merraiam-webster )- Ni***r in senses 1 and 2 can be found in the works of such writers of the past as Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain, and Charles Dickens, but it now ranks as perhaps the most offensive and inflammatory racial slur in English. Its use by and among blacks is not always intended or taken as offensive, but, except in sense 3, it is otherwise a word expressive of racial hatred and bigotry.
Since we're already on the subject, and I didn't get the chance to fully express myself in the UBR for a player who had pm'd another player, lets discuss the slang word Ni**a as well. As it is a slang word, it is not able to be defined by dictionaries.
Urban Dictionary- Ni**a is a word which evolved from the derogative term "ni***r"
Dictionary.reference.com- Ni**a is used mainly among African Americans, but also among other minorities and ethnicities, in a neutral or familiar way and as a friendly term of address. It is also common in rap music. However, ni**a is taken to be extremely offensive when used by outsiders. Many people consider this word to be equally as offensive as ni***r. The words ni***r and ni**a are pronounced alike in certain dialects, and so it has been claimed that they are one and the same word.
noun, Slang: Usually Disparaging and Offensive.
Wikipedia- Ni**a (/ˈnɪɡə/, pronounced identically to ni***r in some dialects) is a colloquial term used in Black English Vernacular that began as an eye dialect form of the word ni***r (a word originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, meaning the color "black").
