Wasn't the word ****** derived from the word negro which was derived from a German word that simply meant black?

Me being white I suppose I just cannot understand why a word that was okay to use twenty years ago is now racist. I am speaking of the word negro... not ****** which seems to be a word used by people who did not translate the word properly.
