The so-called "N-word" was never a slur, historically. That in and of itself is a lie of the left. It comes from the Latin [niger] and it just means "black". That's it. It's as much of a "slur" as calling someone "white".
Here's how you know that the Left's narrative is false. In English, we use Latin to sanitize things. (It's why all new medications or fancy technologies employ Latinate words.) This comes from the time when William the Conqueror invaded England from France. The new ruling elite used French (a language derived from Latin), so Latin became the "classy language" and Anglo-Saxon became the "bad language," as the conquered people were stigmatized by their oppressors. Analyze why you think that "vagina" is the proper word and "cunt" is the bad word. It's because vagina is from Latin and cunt is the Anglo-Saxon for the same thing.
Hemingway called "bad words" Anglo-Saxonisms.
Long story short, we NEVER put something in Latin to "make it worse". No, Latin is ALWAYS used to sanitize things. You want to dress it up, make it fancy, you use the Latin. English has two parallel vocabularies, one from Latin and one from Anglo-Saxons. It's why we have "kingly" and "regal," "height" and "altitude," "raise" and "rear".
In "Das Kapital," Karl Marx observes: "In English writers of the 17th century we frequently find 'worth' in the sense of value in use, and 'value' in the sense of exchange value. This is quite in accordance with the spirit of a language that likes to use a Teutonic word for the actual thing, and a Romance word for its reflexion."
Whenever someone wants to sound refined, they ditch the Saxon and go to the Latin.
Long story short, the Saxon for an African would have been to call him "black". The Latin version of this is "niger" [one G]. Let's repeat this, so that it sinks in: Latin was NEVER used to stigmatize something. Quite the contrary. It was used to dress something up, make it palatable, fancy.
Nigger was NEVER a slur. E-V-E-R.
STOP BELIEVING THE LEFT. (Hint: They lie.)
This isn't about getting rid of slurs. This is about language-control. Once you cede that, you permit your enemy to control the parameters of the debate, and ultimately to control your mind. Soon they'll be telling you that "American" is a slur. Or "male". Or "cereal". Stop believing them. They're pathological liars. Deal with them accordingly.
