Wrong. "Nigger" (a corruption of negro) was only used by whites and always had derogatory connotations. "Black" originated with blacks and has no derogatory connotations (except as used by racist whites who would say "nigger" if they could get away with it). It is what blacks I know call themselves. "African-american", on the other hand, is a euphemism manufactured by liberal whites. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
