Can anyone translate a slang Italian word shagamay phonetically spelled used by Pino in the Spike Lee movie Do the Right Thing?

It does not tranlate directly but is a racial slur used to label someone of African-American descent. A similar term in English would be Ni##er, Spade, Coon, Sambo, Jiggaboo, Spear-Chucker, Porch-Monkey, Brillo-Head, Boy, Blue, or any of the other distastefully used epithets.
