The cultural and popular media landscape of the United States of America changed after
the Civil-Rights movement of the 1960s. The word "Nigger" was changed during that same
period of American history. There are several authors and a comic that helped change this word
during the 1960s. The post Civil-Rights American has a different experience and understanding
with this word than those born before 1970.
This work triangulates the current cultural location of the word "Nigger," "nigga," and
"the n-word" using linguistics, law, and two media case studies. The "Nigger" trinity is a model
that adds value to the discourse that surrounds this one word in post civil-rights/post 1960s
America.
