General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

In the 1970s you could buy a bobbin of cotton, and the colour was printed on it as 'N****r Brown' and I was told that the term was used by Africans as a colloquial reference to people who came from the African country of Niger, they are referred to officially as Nigerians, and I would presume that a lot slaves were kidnapped from there, and the Americans who bought them, called them by that word.
