Wrong.  "Nigger" (a corruption of negro) was only used by whites and
always had derogatory connotations.  "Black" originated with blacks and
has no derogatory connotations (except as used by racist whites who
would say "nigger" if they could get away with it).  It is what blacks I
know call themselves.  "African-american", on the other hand, is a
euphemism manufactured by liberal whites.
