Negroland or Nigritia, was a term invented and used by Europeans in colonial times, for various West African inland states and areas which was described as populated with "Negro people". This area would compromize at least the western part of the region called Sudan (not to be confused with the modern country). Some of the greatest states of those considered part of Negroland was the Bornu Empire and the Sokoto Caliphate. When Asians and Indians are named after Asia and India, respectivly, the term Negroland came around the other way as a use for the areas populated with dark colored people in Sub-Saharan Africa which at the time was called negroes. After about the 1960s, however, when civil rights started improving for people of African ancestry, the term Negro, and thus Negroland, has been widely considered an ethnic slur. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negroland http://asp.african-institute.org/debate_show.asp?Subject=Where+on+earth+is+Lado%3F Oct 28 08, 8:57 AM
