 Nigger and Caricatures
Nigger has been used to describe a dark shade of color (nigger-brown, nigger-fl), the status of whites who interacted with fls (nigger-breaker, -dealer, -driver, -killer, -stealer, -worshipper, and -looking), and anything belonging to or associated with African Americans (nigger-baby, -boy, -girl, -mouth, -feet, -preacher, -job, -love, -culture, -college, -music, and so forth).
Nigger is the ultimate expression of white racism and white superiority, irrespective of the way it is pronounced.
Nigger may be viewed as an umbrella term – a way of saying that fls have the negative characteristics of the Coon, Buck, Tom, Mammy, Sambo, Picaninny, and other anti-fl caricatures.
