Nigger because they were mostly brought from Nigeria, no? and you see
something happened with language - the black did not like white calling
them negro or nigger, but they accepted calling themselves like this.
AFAIK white accepted calling them black. Now suddenly black becomes a
problem. Why? Again some liberals stir up the waters the wrong way?
I did not hear any black complaining being called black - might be I am
wrong, but challenging black/white list and other technical terms is
supreme stupidity.
