Derogatory pieces from the past where black people were described using all variations of the word nigger should be used as teaching tools. There were many items named nigger or nigger was part of the name, today these pieces are hard to find, some items where the name appeared were household products, toys, games and a refreshment grandstand. In Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, there was a grandstand called E.S. "Nigger" Brown Stand” named for a famous white “footballer” Edward Stanley Brown. A lawsuit in 2002 was brought before one of Australia’s highest courts, to have the named changed, the judge who heard the case ruled the grandstand's name could remain. In 2003 the United Nations ruled the grandstand's name should be changed however, Australia’s Commonwealth ignored the United Nations and "E.S. Nigger Brown Stand" stood until it was demolished when it became a public hazard. The question Australia is left wrestling with is rather the replacement statue to honor Edward Stanley Brown should display the name Edward S. Brown or "E.S. “Nigger” Brown. Kiwi's shoe polish was another product that used the name Nigger Brown (see above). E.S. Brown sometimes used this color to polish his shoes. Kiwi changed the color on the can to Dark Tan when nigger became politically incorrect Dark Tan is still sold in stores today.

Parker's Brothers game, "Ten Little Niggers" (see above) played like old maid is only one of many companies that are still in business today who used nigger and other uncomplimentary racial epithets to promote their products. Until these words became politically incorrect companies continued to use these them, most exploitation didn't stop because a company CEO got a conscience but rather for the future of the company's stock.

Nigger, nigga, niggar, niggah, nigress, nigras, nigguh, nig, and yes niggaz, it does not matter how the "ugly word" is spelled or in which language, the n-word was created to denigrate black people niggativity, in any forum, will always have the history of negativity. Most importantly, the present cannot erase the pains of the past and the pass should not be forgotten. If you are a successful Black American you are more than likely walking on someone's back who was called a nigger and went through hell, so they would have the same opportunities, as those in charge of the word nigger enjoyed and your enjoying today! Why do some people in the Black race want to ignore their ugly history by changing the meaning of the n-word? Other ethnic groups respect and honor those who paved away for them. Could this be reason you never hear of other ethnic groups having the debate within their ethnic group, "Should they or should they not, respect those who struggled for them by using or not using a word known to humiliate, disrespect, suppress, subjugate, and dishonor their people?”

In an excerpt written by Brant Williams taken from http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2004/06/28_williamsb_nword/ states the word nigger might not be derived from any word. "In researching this story, I looked for the origins of 'nigger.' Some scholars say 'nigger' was derived from the Latin word for the color black which is spelled 'n-i-g-e-r.' Then I spoke with Professor Robin Lakoff. She's a sociolinguistics professor at the University of California's-Berkeley Campus.

She believes the word 'nigger' is a deliberate mispronunciation of the word 'negro.' That, she says, is why the word has so much negative power.

"There's something about deliberately, knowingly mis-pronouncing someone's name," says Lakoff. "That conveys, 'I don't even care what your name is, you have so little power you matter to me so little.' So it wasn't just the phonetics of the word, it was all that it conveyed about the power of one person to not even care about the other person."

The meaning of the n-word has not changed for those who continue to hate Black Americans. The White Arian Nation and other hate groups call black people the n-word when they talk and write about not mixing with American blacks, killing American blacks or sending all Black Americans to Africa. The n-word is still as dehumanizing today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow. Key nigger into the World Wide Web and several individuals and hate groups who disdainfully use the n-word can be found.

Some individuals who see these humiliating nigger images ideas’s change about keeping the n-word in their vocabulary. People ideas’ changing is one reason some Black Americana collectors, collect products, toys, etc. where the ugly word was used. Viewing these artifacts where the repulsive nigger word was used does more than mere words ever could. Knowing the history and seeing of the n- word on these everyday household items may give some people both young and old the reason they need to eliminate it from their vocabulary. After viewing black images with the n-word on every day household items, if people do continue to use the n-word their decision will be an informed decision. These historical artifacts speak for themselves which leaves the next step up to the viewer or in this case the reader and the viewer.
