Niger is a country of west-central Africa.

Definition:

A country of west-central Africa. The Tuareg and Hausa established states in the late Middle Ages, and the region was dominated by the Songhai and Bornu empires in the 16th century. Niger came under the French sphere of influence after the Conference of Berlin (1884-1885) and was made a separate colony within French West Africa in 1922. It achieved independence in 1960. Niamey is the capital and the largest city.

Population: 8,846,000.

im not necisarily saying it is racist, but i think its ironic that NG is so over sensitive about anything racist and then it shows its level icons turning more and more violent while its skin turns darker!
anyone else agree?

First of i bet this guy is white, white liberals always try to point out what other people should be offended by. Second are you trying to tell us we can't use black and white(the colors) as a symbol for good and evil. Should we also saying black as night because it offends you? This is refering to colors, just because your people branded black and white as skin colors means tiddily. Technically black people can be albino, i say stop looking for things to be offended at, take your head out of your ass, and live in the real world. Wanker.

Agreed, this is perhaps the most rediculous thread I've ever had the displeasure of reading.
