Nubaka if we look at webster definition: Negro, a mbr of the African branch of the black race formerly called Ethiopians. As you already know :-) The word black was typically associated with death. And is derived from the greek word Necro- which means death. And is similar sounded with Negro. Another point- When the Portegese went down to Senegal river, the people they saw they called Moors and Azengus. These terms were later transposed in english as Negro. There is much history behind the term that others adapted besides the Portegese and Latin. Great topic! www.trinicenter.com/kwame/2007/0901.htm |
