about the Word Negro from Wikipedia
Nigger is a slur term used to refer to dark-skinned peoples, especially people of African ancestry. Although sometimes used by black people themselves (especially those who feel an affinity for hip hop culture) as a somewhat self-deprecating term that is suggestive of familiarity and endearment, the word is most often regarded as offensive.
t the time of the Atlantic slave trade, nigger was a casual English language term for black people. The word later became associated with an overt contempt, a racist assumption of inherent black inferiority, making it extremely pejorative
Negro means "black" in the Spanish and Portuguese, being derived from the Latin word niger of the same
meaning. It came in the English tongue through the Portuguese and Spanish slave trade. Prior to the 1970s, it was the dominant term for Black people of African origin; in the great majority of English-language contexts (except its inclusion in the names of some organizations founded when the term had currency, e.g. the United Negro College Fund), it is now considered either archaic or a slur in most contexts (see also nigger).
In English
Around 1442, the Portuguese began to enslave Africans in Portugal. The term negro, literally "black", was used by the Spanish and Portuguese to refer to dark-skinned people, especially indigenous Africans.
From the 18th century to the mid-20th century, "negro" (later capitalized) was considered the correct and proper English word for slaves and freed slaves of sub-Saharan African origin. It fell out of favor by the 1970s in the United States. In current English language usage, "Negro" generally is considered acceptable in a historical context or in the name of older organizations, as in the United Negro College Fund, and is used more commonly by those born before the post World War II baby boom.
Lyndon B. Johnson was the last American president to publicly refer to the African American population as Negroes, which, for much of his life, he pronounced "nig-ruhs", widely considered an insult by African Americans. Johnson learned, while running for president, to use a more generally acceptable pronunciation of the word and before he left office, he had begun to employ the word blacks, too.
The related word Negroid was used by 19th and 20th century anthropologists (ending variously in the mid-to-late 20th century) to refer to a race from some parts of Africa.
A specifically female form of the word—negress (sometimes capitalized) —was sometimes used; but, like another gender-specific word "Jewess", it has all but completely fallen from use. (An exception is its extremely unusual use in the titles of paintings, drawings[1] and sculptures,[2] largely as an allusion to the formerly common occurrence of the word in such titles, but such usage has dropped off dramatically.) Both are considered racist and sexist, although as with other racial, ethnic, and sexual words that are seen as pejoratives, some individuals have tried "reclaiming" the word. An example of this is artist Kara Walker. [3]
Sometimes African Americans use a variant of the term "negro" playfully among themselves (as in, "wassup negro!"), especially throughout the American South and other areas with a high percentage of African Americans. When used in such a manner, it is often in jest with the word pronounced, in an exaggerated fashion. Although this usage is similar to that of the word nigga, it generally is not considered offensive.
