@ John - And you would be correct in that understanding, to a point. Most people assume that race is part of the definition whenever anything to do with 'Nigger' is involved. Saying that anyone could be a Nigger is usually done by mothers who wish to make their children feel good about themselves after someone else has called them by that term. 'Nigga'' is usually used by Black people towards another Black person. 'Nigardly' an 'Niggerish' can aply to anyone though.
My understanding was that skin color was irrelevant to the application of that particular word.
