RE: The True Meaning Of The "N-word" - How The Words We Use Literally Birth Matter

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Someone pointed out that "nigger" was meant to denote an ignorant person. Ive heard this for years as well. If you take the first 3 letters of the word ignorant, you have an anagram for "nig". IGN is nanagrammatically NIG.

And ignorance is a lack of knowledge, the negation of knowledge.

Man, I love language.

Very thought provoking, and I appreciate the time and thought you put into this. I've noticed myself using the word lately, when I used to never say it. This article makes me want to dive into what changed for me.
