    It’s inherently a word. Denigrate and words like it come from the latin word nigrus which means black. Negro, negra, nigga, and yes nigger are all derived from this. The words are not racist. Words are just a way to describe something. The feelings and context in which certain words are used are what’s racist. But there’s nothing we can do about it. The word black itself is synonymous with evil, according to Webster. But seeing these things can help you understand why you have a lot of black people who either hate white people, or love white people and hate themselves. It’s hard to like yourself when you constantly encounter subliminal indications that you are evil, and you can’t help but wonder if white people feel the opposite since white means pure, according to Webster.
