Some nations (tribes) believe spiritually, that if they are associated with something seen as taboo or negative, the ennuciate, emphatically that they have nothing to do with that situation in their language. The idea only got transferred over as the slaves learned english. It's very, very uncanny... Then let's not talk about the derivations of english---like, yeah, right is derived from the Neanderthal... Okay...

Damn... some ignorant blowhard needs to do a little historical or linguistic research - unless of course that would call in to question the happy little world you concieved for yourself
English is derieved from the Indo-European language group, with the founding root languages being Latin (and subsequent romance languages), Germanic roots (from the invasion of the British Isles), and the Celtic group... as for being derived for Neanderthal is that the shit they "teach" you in the NOI or the New Black Panthers? Hmmm... perhaps a more believable lie could be made - it would only take a little more research...
