Out of curiosity do black/Afro Hispanics get angry when the term “negro” is used to describe them in Spanish speaking countries?
I’m sure in Mexico or in the Spanish Caribbean they are required to use the said word when referring to or talking about Africa; the blacks shouldn’t be upset at all when the term is used for educational or general purposes.
But here in America I feel the tables are turned and if I was to say the term to a black Hispanic who couldn’t speak proper English or a regular American black I would have a steel pipe launched on my skull or could spend up to six months in the county jail for even using the term.
The blacks in America are the most entitled individuals on earth that end up getting the most free shit and rarely work yet still wail about inequality but wear expensive Jordans.
I’m sure if I were in cuba nobody would care if I said negro but here it’s forbidden.
It’s basically the equivalent of nigger.

You can say the word "negro" either in a derogatory manner or a descriptive manner, depending on the context.
In Argentina "negro" is an old-fashioned term of endearment for children, pets and even friends and spouses. But it has fallen in disuse because now the word has a more derogatory connotation. "Negros" is what you call people of the lower class that are violent and uneducated, and happen to be brown-skinned.

My grandfather isn't Argentinian, he's French, but his side of the family does have some French-Argentinian connections.

And as a term of endearment when I was a child, he used to call me "that little nigger" or that "little black one".

Well, my cat is called "Negro" (he's a black cat) and he doesn't seem to mind all that much.

You can call black hispanics "negro". The reason is because unlike in the United States, people in Latin America don't care about race politics. There is no such thing as black victimization or white replacement. So yes, you can, in spanish, refer to a dark-skinned latin person as "negro". There is a good chance they'd laugh at it, too. Remember that latin americans literally refer to white people as "gringo" and "blanco". Latin people can tell if you're being hateful, so just go ahead and jokingly call them "primo" (cousin) or whatever, and they'll playfully return with a fun label for you.

One thing to remember is that while race isn't a thing in latin america, they DO care about nationalism. So you won't upset a dark-skinned Dominican by calling them "negro", but they will get pissed off if you call them "Haitiano" (haitian).

From my experience no because negro is just the literal word for black in spanish, just like blanco is for white and blanco isn't a slur but you got slurs for whites there like guero or gringo, tho the later varies by country and nowadays its more a slur for us americanos in general, even seen a few pochos (US-born latinos) and blacks seethe hard at that.

Depending on location, Latin Americans may call you "negro" just for having dark hair, while someone with light hair will get called "rusio", and someone with redish hair would get "un sin alma! mátalo! detrás de ti, imbecil!"

Or maybe just "coloro"
