>An arabber (or a-rabber) is a street vendor (hawker) selling fruits and vegetables from a colorful, horse-drawn cart. Once a common sight in American East Coast cities, only a handful of arabbers still walk the streets of Baltimore. They rely on street cries to attract the attention of their customers.

Curious why you think it's a slur? Hard to find much information, but it seems as though the consensus is that it is not a slur. It is the "preferred spelling of the Arabber Preservation Society, created in 1994 for the support of arabbing, βan African-American folk tradition,β"
