Tbf, I don’t even think actual slavers said it with as much frequency. You could remove a dozen and it would still have more than enough.
It was quite literally their common usage word for black people. It came up a lot when your “job” was enslaving black people as a result.
And yes, it was still a slur despite the daily usage.
Don’t kid yourself. It was used EVERY SINGLE TIME a black person was referenced. It wasn’t always an invective. It was just a word used to refer to a group of people, by another group of people. No avoidance was ever considered. It was a VERY COMMON word.
