@CentaurBreeder To be serious, nigger slang comes from white "cracker culture", poor whites who the rich whites looked down on for their ways, they were extremely braggadocios, and would physically attack any who questioned or insulted them or their claims. They fought "rough and tumble" style, meaning when crackers fought, ears were getting ripped off, eyes were being gouged, bites would occur, genitals would often be attacked and occasionally would even be ripped off. The poor blacks of the era, looking for belonging, since they were yet barred from high society, saught social mobility through their association with "crackers" or "peckerwoods" (poor whites). They started talking like the crackers, bragging like the crackers, and even fighting like the crackers. This is historical fact not liberal nonsense. Niggers act like niggers do because they adopted cracker culture and never let it go, the afrocentric movement of the 60s-90s seems to me to have been a way for black intellectuals to try and re-identify "blackness", since the "black identity" had become nothing more than a descriptor for black people who had adopted the culture of an other, and not just any other, but the outcasts and lowest social members of an other culture, and thus the "black american culture" was born
