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.
