[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [qb] Negro is simply a euphemism for Nigger and Nigger is a word that means Black but was associated with the Congo. Negro therefore means Congo or pertaining to the people of the Congo. In essence a central African person. In America it is a term used for anyone of African ancestry that is recognizable. Mahilda already knows this. [/qb][/QUOTE]Osirian you never cease to amaze me with your ideas about United States and its blacks. I guess that's what comes from being brought up in North Africa where whiteness is still worshipped. FYI - Negro wasn't used for just Africans in America. The term "Negro" was used for Africans in general but also for Chinese and south Asians probably up until the early 20th century because these people were not considered that much different from peoples coming from Africa. Of course Arabs and even southern Europeans were refered to as such especially in the south. It is really a term that has until recently been utilized like the term "koolie". Also, for your information Osirian in case you hadn't noticed the term negro is not used in America any more, but is only used by Afrocentrics on these sites mainly facetiously because of the continued more or less political use of the term by Euronuts. Its more as a backlash to the notion of a stereotypical black type which you have derived from "Tarzan" movies and National Geographic explorers. There are many populations in the sub-Saharan region and Congo is just one of the regions in sub-Sahara. The so-called Congoids in fact don't even fit the typical stereotype of the anthropologists "true negro" category which was dolichocephalic, something the so-called "Congoid" is not. BTW - the word "Negro" was not and is not the same thing is "Nigger" in America or what might be termed "abid" in your homeland. I know a lot of you Maghrebins and Moroccans like to think so, but it is not. It is what black people were called and called themselves and people like yourself in the 1960s when some of us were growing up. It is "black" that used to be a fighting word, not Negro.
