The word nigger is a racial slur directed at Black people. References to nigger have been increasingly replaced by the euphemistic "the N-word", notably in cases where nigger is mentioned but not directly used.[1] In an instance of linguistic reappropriation, the term nigger is also used casually and fraternally among African Americans, most commonly in the form of nigga, whose spelling reflects the phonology of African-American English.[1][2]
