What is a negro?

In: Definitions and Word Differences

"Negro" is a term given to African-Americans while their race was enslaved. While it was originally meant to be a neutral word, it became an ethnic slur and is offensive to most of the dark-skinned race today. It probably originated from the Spanish word "negro" meaning black.
