"Tucker Carlson defended the British Empire on the day of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The Fox News host argued she presided over a country whose global influence was unquestionably good. "

The N word is derived from the Latin word for black which is Niger. It’s original meaning was just for color. That’s why so many areas in Africa have places, countries and rivers with that root word. Romans weren’t thinking about race when they said negro, niger or nigrum. Of course, hundreds of years later it became an evil term. If you say any word with enough hatred for hundred of years, it will become a slur.

Ummm we know what Black and negro means, but the name Niger comes from a Berber word meaning water or river. The Berber are the people who live in the desert in Mali.

The river runs through roughly 5 modern countries in West Africa. It starts in the Guinea highlands near the border with Sierra Leone. The river then flows North through Mali It then bends and heads South through Niger near the border of modern day Benin and then it drains in Nigeria.

The earliest White people that came to Africa did not name that river. The river already had that name at the Mali bend. The river had different names as it passed through different regions, but eventually the Berber name was adopted for the entire river as the length of the river was explored. So White people did not name the river but they did name their colonial creations of Niger and Nigeria after the river.

Its whatever. Like I said. You weird internet nerds are tryna have weird contrarian internet debates. I live in one of those former colonies. You can have your weird nerd debates on your own.

Irish soccer fans celebrate Queen’s death, chant ‘Lizzy’s in a box’ at game

Actual ppl who live in these places who suffered under her rule but coli nerds are tryna Fox news debate their way into... "she wuz just a figurehead. She ain't do anything. Why are ppl so mad? "

This is why idiots on the internet and the actual real world vastly differ.

Be fake outraged at the mannequin and not the people that set up the mannequin, brehs.

The Niger has different names in the different languages of the region:

  • Fula: Maayo Jaaliba 𞤃𞤢𞥄𞤴𞤮 𞤔𞤢𞥄𞤤𞤭𞤦𞤢
  • Manding: Jeliba ߖߋߟߌߓߊ or Joliba ߖߏߟߌߓߊ "great river"
  • Tuareg: Egerew n-Igerewen ⴻⴳⴻⵔⴻⵡ ⵏⵉⴳⴻⵔⴻⵡⴻⵏ"river of rivers"
  • Songhay: Isa "the river"
  • Zarma: Isa Beeri "great river"
  • Hausa: Kwara كوَرَ
  • Nupe: Èdù
  • Yoruba: Ọya "named after the Yoruba goddess Ọya, who is believed to embody the river"
  • Igbo: Orimiri or Orimili "great water"
  • Ijaw: Toru Beni "the river water"
The earliest use of the name "Niger" for the river is by Leo Africanus in his Della descrittione dell’Africa et delle cose notabili che ivi sonopublished in Italian in 1550.[citation needed] The name may come from a Berber phrase ger-n-ger meaning "river of rivers". As Timbuktu was the southern end of the principal Trans-Saharan trade route to the western Mediterranean, it was the source of most European knowledge of the region.


There’s just as much evidence that Leo Africanus named it as the Berbers. And it’s not because I want to say a cac named it. I really don’t care. It’s because there’s too much of a similarity to the Latin word for black to be a coincidence. Outside of the Tauregs, the words that Africans use to describe it don’t even resemble Niger.

First of all negro in Spanish is not Niger. Niger is an African word that has somehow been attributed to Arabs. A lot of Spanish words have been adopted from Arabic, but they are not Spanish. However the word is a Berber word. Berbers live in North and West Africa. Leo Africanus never said he named the Niger River. He only mentioned the Niger River in his writings. You are confusing him mentioning the River with him actually naming it. He did not name it.. The specific Berber clan that the river's name is attributed to are the Tuareg. The Tuareg word for the river is erereou n-igerouen or river of rivers. So a White man did not name that river.
