@trokoro no need to say negro if you can say black then.

Negro means just Black in Spanish. Like saying Blanco instead of White.

If you go to a Webster dictionary and look under the term "black", within it or below it you will find "black amoor" ."Negro" is only a Latin adjective synonomous with the term "black" where "Moor" is the proper noun. That's like "Blanco's" a Latin adjective(blank in english) is synonomous with the adjective "white" that caucasions(a proper noun) use. So-called "black people" are Moors, in the past they were called the "Barbary Powers".

You can't accept a people by how they want to define themselves. Why? EVERYBODY DEFINES THEMSELVES DIFFERENTLY. There ARE blacks that refer to themselves as "Negro". You're not a hive mind.
Don't like the term? Tough! The selection was logical. To account every member's preference. That's why there's "black" & "Afro-American" choices, particularly for those who don't prefer "Negro". Just check the damn box!

They will not put thiere true names on the cesurs sheet. They are not white;they are pale,european eu -meaning caves and rope-meaning that they had been forced back into the caves and roped. We used the arabs to gaurd the caves. They lived in the caves for thousands of years. No speach,writing,proper diet. Lived like animals. This is truth and not to be mean;but truth does not change. This is what they try to hide from the world. We are the original man but we must claim are Nationality.

That is a damn lie. Grow up and learn truth before you open your mouth. The 'Slave Labels' of "Negro" "Blacks" and "Colored" were given to the West African Nationals as official marks that declared they had been duly reduced from Pioples into Slaves, Property and Beasts of Burden. These names are not who we are. We are the original man. We are civilization and without us returning to are original satus there will be no light in this world.
Negro??? this a trip.

Daniel 10:5 Then I lift up mine eyes and looked, and behold, a certaine man clothed in linen, whose loynes were girded with fine gold of Uphaz.
6 His body also was like the Berill, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lampes of fire, and his arms, and his feet in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. Yahshua is Black!!!
