and so what if he did?
should he have called the gentleman Chinese?
Satch played for the Cleveland Indians.
He should be cancelled!
Hopefully FJB didn’t refer to the great Paige as fellow Democrats Woodrow Wilson and Robert Byrd would have.
What is it with the media? Can they not once call a spade a spade?
I think the [n word] is derived from the French word, negre; your word for stingy is derived from a Scandinavian word called nigon.
I saw the video......he said it!
“You know, I’ve adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time, pitcher in the negro leagues, went on to become a great pitcher in the pros, in the Major League Baseball after Jackie Robison, his name was Satchel Paige”

I agree with you but was fascinated to see Cary Grant use the word in that context in the film Bringing Baby in 1938. So it must have been used in that context on the streets earlier than that.
“The president obviously began to say “Great Negro League pitcher...”
But he didn’t. He said “great negro”. I’ve fact checked it, so it’s true.

niggard (n.)
"mean or stingy person, miser," late 14c., nigard, nygard, nygart, also with a variant nigoun, nygun (c. 1300), a word of uncertain origin. The suffix suggests French origin (see -ard?), but the root word is possibly from earlier nig "stingy" (c. 1300), which is perhaps from a Scandinavian source related to Old Norse *hniggw, related to hnøggr "stingy," from Proto-Germanic *khnauwjaz (source of Swedish njugg "close, careful," German genau "precise, exact"). Perhaps also related to Old English hneaw "stingy, niggardly," which did not survive in Middle English. A noun nig "niggardly person" is attested from c. 1300, but OED considers this unlikely to be the source of the longer word.
