About Negro in brief
Negro is a term historically used to denote persons considered to be of Negroid heritage. The term can be construed as offensive, inoffensive, or completely neutral, largely depending on the region or country where it is used. A specifically female form of the word, negress, was occasionally used. The word Negro fell out of favor by the early 1970s. Since the late 1960s, various other terms have been more widespread in popular usage. These include black, Black African, Afro-American and African American. Like many other similar words, the word black is of Anglo-SaxonGermanic origin. It has a greater impact than \”Negro\”, of FrenchLatinate origin. However, many older African Americans initially found the term black more offensive than Negro. In the early 20th century, Negro is still used in some historical contexts, such as the spiritual songs known as the Negro Leagues of Sports. The academic journal published by Howard University bears the title The Journal of Negro History and Education. The journal became the Association for the Study of African American Life and History in 1973.

The American Negro Academy was founded by Marcus Garvey in 1897 to support black nationalist and pan-Africanist organizations. In 17th-century Colonial America, the term negro was also, according to one historian, used to describe Native Americans. It superseded colored as the most polite word for African Americans at a time when black was considered more offensive. It does not embrace the free inhabitants of Africa, like the Egyptians, Moors, or the negro Asiatics,such as the Lascars. The suffix -oid means ‘similar to’ or ‘negroid’ as a noun; as an adjective, it qualified a noun as in, for example, ‘Negroid features’
