English is Confusing: Black and White

They say that English is hard for foreigners to learn. Not being a foreigner I can’t really comment on this. But, I can say that English does get a little tricky when it comes to the difference between whites and blacks.

Almost everyone knows what a piglet is. As a result, almost everyone knows what is meant by the word niglet.

If you look up the word, egret, you will see that it is a white bird. If someone says they saw a negret, what are they talking about?

If you look up the word, egress, you will see that it just means a way out of something. If someone says that there is a negress, what are they talking about?

Wow, really? You think words that rhyme should be related? Too much Dr. Seuss as a kid, maybe...

Hint: Every language is like this.

Why are people who do not leave adequate tips called niggardly?

It is 2014, Grow up. Just stop using racist words. It is like the Taliban in the middle east or hillbillies. Primitive uneducated people talk like that not most FF Country residents.

To jYded I say you have made a horrible analogy comparing the Taliban and hillbillies.

Firstly, you have insulted a culture of American people which is exactly the same as insulting a race of people.

Secondly if you are so educated, why did refer to our county as a country?

This is probably a troll, but I can't resist: because the two words are unrelated and just happen to sound similar. Google it.

Because it comes from a Scandinavian word and has nothing to do with niggers, unless you work for the DC government, in which case it gets you fired by a nigger who doesn't know what a dictionary is.

Baby was a black sheep,

Baby was a whore.

Baby got big, and baby got bigger.

Baby baby baby was a rock and roll nigger.

What's a nigger? I heard the president say it and asked my parents and they won't tell me.

A "jigger" is a liquid measure, often used by bartenders. From that, can you figure out what a "nigger" might be?
