Why were and are african americans called the N word? Where did it begin and did someone just come up with it on the fly or something? I mean why not call people Daisy Tulips instead the n word? (lemmy.world)

Just checked and no, it's theirs. I hope it's not as extensive as some. That can be a bitch.
