To: Right Wing Assault

nig·gard·ly ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ngrd-l)
adj.
Grudging and petty in giving or spending.
Meanly small; scanty or meager: left the waiter a niggardly tip.

Has nothing to do with skin color, some politician got in trouble some years ago for using niggardly because the people criticizing him were too niggardly to buy dictionaries
