''Negro'' means the color black in both Spanish language and Portuguese language languages, being derived from the Latin word ''niger'' of the same meaning. The term ''"negro"'', literally "black," was used by the Spanish people and Portuguese to refer to blacksns and people with that heritage. From the 18th century to the mid-20th century, "negro" (later capitalized) was considered the correct and proper term for African Americans. It fell out of favor by the 1970s in the United States. In current English language usage, "Negro" generally is considered acceptable in only a historical context or in the name of older organizations, as in the United Negro College Fund, and is in more common use among those born before the post-WW2 baby boom. Lyndon B. Johnson was the last American president to publicly refer to the African American population as ''Negroes'' (to which, for much of his life, he gave the Texas pronunciation ''nigras'', widely considered an insult by African Americans). Before he left office, he had begun to employ the word ''blacks'', too. The related word ''Negroid'' was used by 19th century and 20th century anthropology (ending variously in the mid-to-late 20th century) to refer to a race of people from Africa. This word is now widely considered offensive. The word has had a similar history in languages such as Italian language. Today in Italy, using the term ''"negro"'' to refer to a black person would be considered a racism insult, suggestive of fascism. However, in Portuguese, the socially accepted term nowadays is ''"negro"'' (literally, "black"), while ''"preto"'' (meaning, in this context, "dark-skinned") usually is seen as an insult because of societal color bias. But, today some Portuguese people and Portuguese speaking Africans prefer the term ''preto'' in opposition of ''branco'' (white), than ''negro'' (that also can mean "dirty"). In French language, ''nègre'' was the word generally used in the 19th century and earlier times to describe blacks persons of African origin. However, it now has heavy colonialism undertones, and the word ''noir'' (literally, "black") is always used instead, except occasionally when specifically discussing slavery or colonialism, or when ''nègre'' is used as slang for ghost writer''. In Argentina and Cuba, ''negro'' is a word commonly usually used to refer to friends or people in general, and does not have a blatantly racist connotation. For example, one may say to a friend, ''"Oye, negrito. ¿Como estás?"'' Literally, that translates as, "Listen (or "Hey"), little black man, how are you?" Here, ''"negro"'' is used in its diminutive form, as a term of endearment meaning "pal", or "buddy" or "friend." ''"Negrito"'' has come to be used to refer to a person of any ethnicity or color, and also can have a sentimental or romantic connotation similar to "sweetheart," or "dear" in English. Controversy about word "Negro" has spread to many languages, because many people perceive usage of any word similar to "Negro" about black people in any language as a racist insult. While some people argue that people of America should have no business deciding what words people use in other languages, many people are still trying to avoid using "Negro", which can offend somebody. That is not always easy, because in some languages the word for "black" does not sound better at all (In Russian ''chornyi'' is racist name for minorities like chechens, in Estonian ''must'' means also "dirty" etc.) Other options are "dark skinned" or "African". However, many languages presently do not have any widely accepted alternatives for "Negro". A specifically female form of the word—''negress''—was sometimes used; but, like another gender-specific word "Jewess", it has all but completely fallen from use. Both are considered racist and Sexism. 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. [http://www.gregkucera.com/walker.htm] ==See also== *Coloured *Creole *Race *Racial segregation *African American *Blacks *Colored Multiracial affairs
"a trivial and racist insult, suggestive of holding fascist opinions" I would guess this needs rewording since I'd imagine hold fascists opinions isn't "trivial" in Italy. But I don't really know anything of the subject. --User:Eean 04:58, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC) == "an often cited poll" == Recently and anonymously added: "According to an often cited poll, more than 3% of American blacks choose "Negro" as their first choice in describing themselves."

First, with a new heading "Census Bureau tally of Negroes in the United States" were (accurate) census figures, reproduced here: *1790 757,208 (19.3% of the total population of the United States). *1800 1,002,037 18.9% *1810 1,377,808 19.0% *1820 1,771,656 18.4% *1830 2,328,642 18.1% *1840 2,873,648 16.8% *1850 3,638,808 15.7% *1860 4,441,830 14.1% *1870 4,880,009 12.7% *1880 6,580,793 13.1% *1890 7,488,788 11.9% *1900 8,833,994 11.6% *1910 9,827,763 10.7% This seems inappropriate because this is an article about a word that is now considered, well, politically incorrect. This would belong in the article African American — in fact, I see that it is not there and I will put it there — which is about the people. This article is about a word. Second, with respect to Lyndon Johnson: :He knew that the pseudo-aristocratic President John Kennedy had introduced the word ''blacks'' in 1961 at his press conferences before the National Press Corps. Also, of course, he knew that there were no ''blacks'' in the United States prior to 1960. Very POV. "He knew", "pseudo-aristocratic", "there were no ''blacks''". There may be something worth saying here, which may belong in the article, but, if so, this is not the way to say it. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 19:40, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC) GOOD GRIEF! The item Negro is not a good subject for a wikipedia article. People are resolutely determined to change colored people into blacks and African-Americans. Like Rudyard Kipling said: colored people are "White Man's Burden." Until recently, Chinese and Jews were laughing stock, too, until they developed nuclear weapons. People from India were forced to develop nuclear weapons, too. (Rudyard Kipling was born in India, so his ideas were born there, too). ''When Iran and North Korea continue to develop nuclear weapons, it is due to the fact that nuclear weapons provide them with the machinery that brings freedom.'' It is not because they are "AN AXIS OF EVIL." Liars plague the Internet, today. Every U.S.A. city that I have seen being described on the Internet includes a statistic called "% of African-Americans." Until recently, there were no "blacks" or "African-Americans" in the U.S.A. Where the hell did they come from all of a sudden? People who want to write their own history must do what Russia did: develop nuclear weapons so that other human beings won't treat them like buffoons. I don't know if Wikipedia has a Rosa Parks wiki. If it does, people will write that she took a seat on the bus in the white folks section. Nothing could be further from the truth, because she was not suicidal. She has tried to explain that she took a seat in the colored (rear) PART OF THE BUS. People dislike her true rendition of the event, so they change it to where it suits them for propaganda purposes. Actually (of course), a white man walked to the rear of the bus and told her to surrender her seat to him. The National Television networks of all types insist that Rosa Parks sat in the white folks section. I believe that they are LIARS. I am old enough to remember when Negroes stood in the aisle of a bus beside empty seats because they were afraid to sit down on a seat that was reserved for white people. Rosa Parks would never have taken a seat in the white folks section of a bus because she would have been dragged off of the bus, beaten, jailed, fined, and run out of town. She knew that she could not offend the white folks by breaking their rule. The Wikipedia article called American Colonization Society is also beseiged by LIARS who are constructing a facetious version of history. GOOD GRIEF. February 4th, 2005 11:55 A.M. GMT. :A word can be a perfectly appropriate topic for an article, and that is what this article is about. You are basically correct on Rosa Parks. And other than that, you make some remarks that I won't dignify by responding to them. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 18:18, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC) == "jocularly" == The recent claim that Johnson used the word "blacks" only "jocularly": is there a citation for that? Even a specific instance of him using it that is at all clearly jocular? Otherwise, I'm inclined to revert it.

I misread it. :-) User:Deeceevoice 03:22, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC) == "Leftist" == The recent anon edit that the word is now disparaged "especially among leftist thinkers" seems very wrong to me. I haven't exactly heard, say, Karl Rove or Margaret Thatcher say "negro", either.

I don't know Portuguese well enough to be comfortable on connotations. I'm always a little worried when a new contributor's first edits are on a controversial matter, which is what we've got here.

I made the corrections to the relevant passage, which Wolfsburg subsequently reverted. Certainly in Spanish, "negro" is ''literally'' black, and "pr''i''eto" is a term referring to darkness of skin tone. (My bad. I didn't see the "Portuguese" qualification when I edited it. Portuguese ''does'', indeed, differ, of course, from Spanish in some respects; and "preto" is the Portuguese variant of "prieto.") In Spanish and Portuguese, the word "negro" literally is "black" and is used generically in just about every possible context one would use "black" in any other language. "Prieto," however, refers to darkness of skin tone in both Spanish and Portuguese and absolutely would not be used to refer to someone who was a cafe-au-lait black person. And, yes, because Brazileños and other Latinos are generally notoriously "color struck," being considered "preto"/"prieto" is undesirable, and the word often is used as a put-down. :From an online Portuguese-English dictionary: :1. preto [a] (black, achromatic) being of the achromatic color of maximum darkness; having little or no hue owing to absorption of almost all incident light. More... :2. preto [a] (black, pitch-black, pitch-dark) extremely dark. More... :3. preto [a] (black, blackened) (of the face) made black especially as with suffused blood.
