What is what does hard r mean?

The term "hard R" refers to the use of the N-word ending with the "-er" suffix, but specifically when it's uttered by someone who is not Black. It's considered a highly offensive and racist slur due to its historical association with slavery, discrimination, and violence against Black people.

The key distinction is that the "hard R" is almost universally viewed as unacceptable when used by non-Black individuals, regardless of intent. Its historical baggage and the power dynamics associated with its use make it a symbol of hate and oppression. The "hard R" is usually referred as "nigger".

Some people also make a distinction of the softer version of the word ending with -a (N-gga). However, most of the time, it is also considered an insult, so be very careful when referring to this word or the word containing "hard R".
