“Racism: How words have been used throughout history”
Is the word ‘nigger’ a word of hate or friendship? ... Throughout time the word ‘nigger’ has changed many times between the 1930’s, 1950’s, and today. ...
In the 1950’s when Harper Lee wrote the novel, racism was beginning to be an issue and blacks were starting to have more rights. ... The use of the word ‘nigger’ is being used less and less everyday, and the meaning behind it, is becoming part of the past and is beginning to be forgotten.
The word ‘nigger’ has been used as a word of hatred and for friendship. As Lee pointed out in the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, in the 1930’s the word ‘nigger’ was not a very harsh word, it was just a word that was used to describe black people. In today’s society, that word could be used as a meaning of hate toward someone or mean that someone is a friend.
