Seller Of Racist Bumper Sticker Defends Use Of The N-Word To Describe President Obama
Dont Re-Nig in 2012, reads the sticker a not-too-subtle play on a word that invokes one of the most repulsive racial epithets to attack the countrys first black president. Yet, Smith sees absolutely nothing wrong with it, as she told Forbes:
Ms. Smith insisted that the bumper sticker is not racist. I asked her about the N word, for which nig is the shortened version. According to the dictionary (the N word) does not mean black. It means a low down, lazy, sorry, low down person. Thats what the N word means.

(13,409 posts)She made that up out of whole cloth. It's not her ignorance that causes her to act as she does, it's her sickening hatred and racism. She's a racist to the core.

That's really fucking stupid.

white nigger
A white person who does not have the typical privelages associated with white people. So he is looked down on by "normal" whites.
Chet: Hey Tad, look at Joe driving that beat up old car.
Tad: What a white nigger, my dad bought me a 30,000 dollar car when I turned 16 cause I deserved it for going to school and getting all C's.
Chet: He must be lazy unlike us. We were smart and hard working enough to be born with money and privelages.
Tad: I agree now let's go back to the frat house and date rape some drunken sorority girls.
Chet: Good Idea, that will prepare us for our future as CEO's and then Senators.
