No, That's not the history of the word Nigger. Nigger was not meant to be a bad thing at first. Africans were first called Nigras because they came from Algeria. They changed it to Nigger. Some of the whites used it a negative way. As slavery ended, Africans did'nt want to be called Nigger because it remined it them of how they were oppressed. So they changed it to Negro. Soon or later, that word was outdated so they turned it into blacks or African Americans.
ALso Nigger and Nigga are two different meanings.
Why should people be bothered by the word?
You should.
