description: 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.
