Obviously, you have never heard the statement "History is written by the victors." Last I checked people made into slaves are NOT the victors. So, you can keep your head in the sand and pretend that all of the Africans that were ripped from their families and homeland were 100% ok with being called "nigger."
I'm leaving this discussion because your "facts" are starting to turn my stomach.

I'm sorry that you are getting angry. But - and I don't mean this disrespectfully - the fact that your great grandmother was alive in the 1800's, and the fact that her mother and grandmother were slaves - does not make you an expert on the meaning or connotation of terms from the middle of the 19th century. It's a non-falsifiable statement that precludes anyone else from participating in the discussion.
