<span style="font-weight: bold">The fact of the matter is that under Euro-centrism, "...the word for Black was typically associated with aspects of death. The word death is derived from the Greek word Necro which means dead and is similar in sound and meaning to the word Negro."
As part of "the manifestation of the evil genius of Europe," Euro-centric thought process deceitfully juxtaposed the words "Necro" and "Negro". "...to reference the physical, spiritual or mental death of a person, place or thing."
It is very instructive to note that "...the word usually employed in the classical Latin language to designate people of Afrikan origin was "Afer" and not "Niger", as some who are addicted to the term 'Negro' would like to have us believe."</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">The word Negro is derived from the Greek word necro (meaning dead). Negro is Spanish for black which originates from Classical Greek.</span> http://www.raceandhistory.com/historicalviews/negro.htm
<span style="font-weight: bold">"Negro" is a very interesting word because, first of all, it comes form a Greek origin meaning something that is dead.</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">The word N itself actually comes from the Spanish word, negro, which means Black. The color of inanimate objects, not people, such as shoes or a jacket. But that goes to show you how they viewed us as soulless, dead objects. But negro comes from the Latin word, necro, which means 1. Dead body; corpse: necrophilia. Death: necrobiosis. But I know some people will just say, “negro means Black people,” but it really doesn’t. We were described as Mauro or Moor before we were described as negro, which first started in 1442 at the beginning of the Portuguese slave trade of Africans. Moor or Mauro described the dark pigmentation or melanation of living creatures. negro describes the dark pigmentation of dead or inanimate objects. When they enslaved us and robbed us of knowledge of self and history and made Blacks into living machines, we became their inanimate objects and thus became their negroes or N. </span>

I don't know how you got the words, 'conspiracy' and 'racist' into this.</span>
