Interesting article on this

I include this taster reference the above snippet, hopefully to give some context:-
And in one of the most startling cross-references I've ever seen in a rock show, U2's pre-9/11 performances in 2001 added to "Bullet the Blue Sky" a short film clip about the need for gun control in the U.S., while Bono infused the song with a rap as he reenacted Mark David Chapman's 1980 murder of Lennon: "John, war is over, we don't need your help/America's waging war on itself... Pull the trigger on the rock-n-roll nigger/He's bigger than Jesus on a bumper sticker." The message, unnoticed by the musical press, was clear: an American gun killed John Lennon.
Cleraly, in this context, the "N" word is being used to reference the way that a white man (John Lennon) had been referred to in the popular press.
