Title change request
Please change the title of the article from "Nigger" to "Nigger (slur)" or please delete this entire entry.
Reasons: - calling this out is critical for readers that have not previously been exposed to the history - Creates parity with other terms in the slur category (example: "Wetback (slur)") Grokante (talk) 14:32, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- I wholeheartedly agree. I'd move it myself, but the article is move protected so that only sysops can move it. Carlstak (talk) 15:19, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- As I pointed out in response to your similar request about Nigga; parenthetical qualifiers are there for ambiguous terms like Wetback; see WP:DAB for more info.

No, because that’s simply your opinion because it’s not a "slur" to me, and I'm proud to be a Nigger.
Being referred to as being Black or African-American, those are slurs to me, and yet, the so-called white people don’t care about my opinion, and they're not gonna stop using it.
As a so-called black man, I would much rather refer to myself as being a Nigger, than ignorantly refer to my nationality/race as a color "black" out of a crayon box. Just because the so-called white nation wants to ignorantly refer to themselves as "white", that doesn't default my nation to ignorantly being "black".
I'm a proud so-called black man and I most definitely will not ignorantly refer to myself as being an African-American. I'm a "Real Nigga" and I definitely didn't descend from two non-melanated and recessive genes so-called white men named Scipio Africanus and Amerigo Vespucci.
Also, the same so-called white nation that came up with the ignorant definition for nigger, is also the same people that came up with the more ignorantly definition for the color of "black". That definition for the color "black" is way worse than being called a "NIgger". That's the racial slur you should be focused on. SMDH, these so-called white people are laughing at these ignorant Negroes that are out here walking around and calling themselves "black".
One thing about these so-called white people, they actually know that they’re not "white", but these so-called black people, they actually think they’re "black".
They're not black, they are different shades of brown. Also, there’s no land of black, there’s no kingdom of black. SMDH, my people are destroyed. Charles H Moore 03:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
You need to provide me with actual evidence of why I need to remove it. Your opinion and feelings are not evidence of anything. Charles H Moore 03:38, 5 October 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuck51070 (talk • contribs)

Indian people were also subject of this verbally abusive word. Although not commonly talked about, often Indians would be called this word in their own country before receiving independence and in the United States as well. 128.6.37.153 (talk) 14:13, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
