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.
