Calling them "Negro" is really the correct name for them. It aptly used to describe their race. i.e. the Negroid race. But, this word has had negative connotations associated with it, so they moved on to "colored".

"Colored" is something of a euphemism. It hearkens to something cheerful. Nevertheless, Negroes have managed to give the word "colored" a bad connotation, and so they moved on to "black".

The word "black" already had negative connotations, and so associating it with the Negroes just made a bad situation worse. Now, the media tries to enforce people calling them "African-Americans". Which is attempting to mix the positive connotations people have with "Americans" with the negative connotations they have with "Africans". This also claims that all Africans are Negroes, which, in all senses, is not accurate.

No matter what you call them, the term may start off with having positive connotations, but will always end up having negative connotations. Then they move on to another word.

What do you predict the next word will be?

hate -- healthy, virile hate -- for what the German personifies
and for what persists in the German. To do otherwise would be
a betrayal of the dead." - Elie Wiesel

According to Uncle Ruckus, white racists made a crucial mistake in using the word nigger so much because blacks get too use to it, and built up a bit of immunity.

And the word nigger was used to describe Negroes, just like 'black people'

The only difference is that it was used during slave times.
