In fact, sometimes when I go back to Oregon my pals and I have white trash parties - cheap beer, bad hot dogs, greasy potato salad, Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynrd on the stereo, and TV in the front yard. What that has to do with a slur against black people...I have no idea.

Most people use the term ni**er to refer to black people who are lower in class a la the people of your hometown as opposed to terming all black people as ni**ers. The difference is black people were once slaves and have a history of oppression. Most white people do not, though certainly some do.
