   Once upon a time, a very famous white man sang those words. His   
   Japanese wife, an avant-garde artist, had coined the phrase in an   
   interview a few years prior. The very famous white man recognized   
   the phrase she’d casually uttered had great power. It compared and   
   united in metaphor two struggling peoples — niggers and women. When   
   Yoko Ono and John Lennon were interviewed by Nova magazine in 1969,   
   she used her extreme choice of language in a sort of offhanded way,   
   like it was shorthand for a much larger idea of social injustice.   
   She felt the comparison and presumed solidarity called attention to   
   the plight of women. The phrase became a seed of thought and took   
   root in John Lennon’s fertile mind. Years later, he wrote a song   
   that used that phrase as the title, one that John and Yoko planned   
   to use to gain attention for the feminist struggle.   
      
   That's why John Lennon got shot.
