I saw that too when I got an error for something. It doesn't offend me b/c I have no idea what it is supposed to mean. And Niger is a place so...
But I am wondering what the picture means.

Its a take on the saying "nigger please". Instead, they use "niger".
I thought it was pretty funny.. maybe not appropriate though.

Actually, I never even understood that until just now. I just thought that was some error picture that would appear with this template by default, and hadn't been changed yet. lol

Oh okay, well then that's stupid
I think the question is, does it offend YOU?

I'm not black, so I guess not. But it probably will affend someone out there, once they figure out what it actually means.

i'm white, so it doesn't offend me, but it does kinda bother me. i hate when people use that word. if it's a black person using it, that's fine, but otherwise i associate it to a period of time that we don't really need to live again.

why is the race of the individual using the word relevant? either the term is offensive or it isn't, and there shouldn't be the double standard with regard to that term that clearly exists and that you apparently subscribe to.
by the way, given your logic, the phrase the picture in question alludes to (i.e. "nigga please") is one that is derived from one black person speaking to another, so it shouldn't bother you.
for the record, I'm not offended by it because I don't think the intent is to be racist in any way.

I thought it was hilarious and laughed for quite a while when I saw it the first time. The way it's presented, with the city Please in Niger, that's just the work of a genius!

well, for what it's worth, it's not "using that word"--it's alluding to it.
