[edit]Noun
[edit]negrophilism (uncountable)
- (now offensive) A liking for black people.
- 1965, Robert Penn Warren, Who Speaks for the Negro?:
- The only trouble with this negrophilism is that it doesn't recognize the Negro as a man. It recognizes him only as a Negro—if sometimes as a Negro Jesus Christ. And that is the worst condescension of all.
- 1998, Jim Goad, The Redneck Manifesto, page 248:
- His negrophilism seems to be nothing beyond a fashion statement, almost a way of accessorizing. It's black pride without ever having to endure the downsides of being black.
