Lynn,I am sorry that you are so sensitized to the racism in this country that your hackles are agitated by a good english word, which originated from Latin. Although the Romans surely held some African slaves along with the Greeks, Gauls, Jews and most other ethnic groups of their age, they probably did not have any idea of racial prejudice. They only believed that every one who was not Roman was inferior. Don’t we all do that in some way? I believe the word denigrate predates African slavery in this country and did not include any intent to defame the African race.
