@GrahamZ: what do you mean? I'm only saying that this world is not offensive anywhere (almost) but US, it just means black man, in their language. Should they restrain from this word just because some nig in US donesn't like it? Nope.
There's a tonn of slangs in prisons too, but to a regular person, they mean nothing. In russian prisons a very offensive word is rooster (petuh). Should we now ban this word - rooster?
@GrahamZ: You need to pick up a book sometime and stody some WORLD's history, asshat. Just because a word is offensive in a hole you live in, doesn't mean others should deny it's true meaning and origins. The world doesn't spin around you alone.
@Calikidd86: some sensitive mod deleted the previous comment. Anyway, you searched the meaning of slang, but failed to look up the actual origin which comes from latin. Here wiki info: The word originated as a neutral term referring to people with black skin,[1] as a variation of the Spanish and Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger (meaning the color "black").
