Does This Country Have a Racist Name?

- How did Niger end up with a name that is confused with a racial slur? The Country of Niger is a country in West Africa, just south of Algeria and Libya, west of Chad, North of Nigeria, and east of Mali. Just like puck or sit or any other innocent combination of letters, it is not a vulgarity. But lets face it, if you change the spelling of the word Niger in any way either by adding, subtracting or changing letters, it would no longer mean a country in West Africa, just as changing the spelling of any other word changes the meaning of that word. So, does this country have a racist name?

That thumbnail is wild lmfao.
British lady called the Country and Nigeria.
Although using a KKK to Associate the N word is Plausible. I would’ve used an Xbox player raging in the thumbnail instead. Lol
This thumbnail is HILARIOUS! I love the humor and educational content of this channel !!
Happy to hear! Cheers mate!
A wonderfully presented video; I don't believe the name has a racial connotation to it unless one is wanting it to be.
The can change it to shonghai Republic
Through this channel I learn a lot about Africa.
Happy to hear! Many thanks
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Giving thanks for being an advocate for Africa and not waiting for either the diaspora or other races to control the narrative for us.
Who gave names to African land? The Portugese, Latinos and Britian. The present name of these Africa. Country are not the countries language.
Depends on the country.
Eish they made us fools seriously
The thumbnail is diabolical 😭
Glad we changed our colonial name from “Gold Coast” to Ghana 🇬🇭
This was beautifully done
The names Niger and Nigeria were not names given by Afrikans. Nigeria was named by a colonist Flora Shaw - who I can assure was as racist as the men in cloaks you have in the thumbnail. These are the same people who's Grandparents would have been slave owners of Afrikans. I would not be surprised at all if they named these nations with intention of racially cursing Afrikan people. The only guarantee we have that this is not the case, is by naming our own nations ourselves.
Gratitude from America for this channel. I do love learning about the intricacies of Africa.
From Canada with Hava: 13 1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger,.......(Acts 13:1) We have been duped. Africa is the land of Shem; hence, a large portion of it is The Promised Land aka YahIsrael. HalleluYah and Baruch 2:28-35.
YES same with Nigeria. We hear dog whistles. We also understand latin roots. You make it worse with this video: still, the world understands and hears your dog whistle.
I am sure many people have had this idea float around their head. Including myself, Although I instinctually knew they were completely different, lol.
Only in American's minds for sure. America has such a toxic, racialized culture.
I wondered about this but never knew the answer until now.
PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO PEOPLE AS "BLACKS"! THE CORRECT TERM TO USE IS "BLACK PEOPLE"! WHO DE ARSE NARRATED THIS?
this gave Trump headache during his tenure 😂
I would still change the name to a more native name a la Burkina Faso
Makes sense! I did a video on Burkina Faso a while back, please check it out in case you missed it: Why The Name Burkina Faso? ruclips.net/video/INnr7g1hT3I/видео.html

5k views this propaganda fail😂
Even Zambia is named after the river Zambezi. Though actually it's Nzambi Enzi, a Lunda term which means , "a river of god".
Wow, didn't know that, cheers!
Very interesting. Thank you. ❤
You are so welcome! Cheers!
Imagines speaking an entirely different languages...
Same as Egypt simply means Black land 💡
Absolutely!
Kemet means Black land not Egypt
@@NatNyetla It all strings together 👍🏽. Egypt used to call their Kemet 💡
The black land is not in reference to people, though.
@@FreedomBiafra Almost every African country has its name meaning for black ppl . Only Egypt it doesn’t mean that ? Lol. Just google image ancient paintings of Egypt 💡. They are not white lol. So what does black land mean then lol. You have nothing .
I don't know for sure if it stems from a racial slur/tjhe word black in latin, but for sure people use it as an alternative to the n word...
Absolutely, correct. Actually, nigger is a derivative of the Latin 'nigrum or niger'. So, niger is tied up with nigger and nigrum in terms of linguistic origin. While the suggestion for Niger to change its name, the same would for Nigeria as well. Basically we (Nigerians and Nigeriens) accepted a name from the wazungu in reference to a nationality. We have taken an 'L'.
Thanks for making this video. American education teaches about the Latin stem over the obvious river. The river isn’t known colloquially as the “black river” so I think that was purely misinformation that they taught us. (At least I don’t think it is)
Haaa! He said Bottom 😂
Thank you for sharing this educational video.
How did you expand your vocabulary and talk so articulate did you finish a degree or is it by reading a thesaurus and dictionary?
Reading books*
@@chestersabajo5527 I don’t think a book can do this he must of to a philosophical class or something?
The thumbnail lookin' 🔥frl 💀
Many thanks! Cheers:-)
No leave the name
Great content thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
I am a blackman and i love who i am,honestly,other people's stereotype has never had a negative impact on me because i love God and my culture:The derogatory term n**ga don't bother me at all i would laugh at him or her;infact i have never had anyone call me that,why should i care if i had it said to me; negro is not my name anyway,i don't identify with that term;fancy someone would say to you,''Hey Negro !''😂😂🤣🤣
Lies
This name is also found in the scripture.
Which verse?
Acts 13.1@@FreedomBiafra
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
yes
That's fascinating, I knew it wasn't a racist name but I didn't realise the etymological similarly was just a coincidence!
1:24 Nice 🤣👌
Still, change the damned name. Nigeria too!
Bro change that thumbnail. What the puck?
Perfect illustrations ❤😂.
Good job
Glad you think so!
I AM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN. WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE ASSOCIATE WITH THE RIVER. IT JUST IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO MAKE IT SERIOUS.
