Text and/or other creative content from
this version of
Nigger was copied or moved into
Use of nigger in the arts with
this edit on 23:10, June 19, 2019. The former page's
history now serves to
provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
This article is written in
American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other
varieties of English. According to the
relevant style guide, this should not be changed without
broad consensus.
For the record: I agree with VexVector; it's not a proper noun and is used in the disputed case (puns rule) within a sentence, so should be all lower case. Fred Gandt ·

The "US slave-era phrase denoting escaped slaves hiding in train-transported woodpiles" ALSO refers to concealed/denied mixed-race ancestry. I don't know how that information should best be included/acknowledged, but it shouldn't be ignored.
