“Don’t call me African” – Black America’s identity crisis

[Rhapture]

African American women winning that beauty contest must have really left a lot of hurt feelings. People getting mad at distinguishing ethnicities and bumping old threads lol. It really isn't that serious.

"nikka" comes from "******" which is a Southern slur of "Negro" or Black.
Niger comes from the name of the Niger river, called the "river of rivers" or "gher n-gheren" in the Native language.

nikka does NOT come from Niger.

Edit: @Thomas beat me to it.

where do you think the word Negro comes from

Negro is Spanish, derived from the Latin word niger
Which is one of the words for black in Latin

I frankly don't give a shyt about Niger the country
