Hi, well I don´t know why the previous answerer only translated the opossite tranlation and gave the meaning:

let nothing be said of the blacks but what is bad

and nigris here is the plural nominative of niger, nigra, nigrum that in latin referrs to the color black, the adjective black which could also mean bad, dark, gloomy or it also meant death like in nigromant .

During Roman times and greek times they used either the word Aethiops, opis, which in Latin meant negro, that came from the greek Aithiops or literally "burnt-face". Much later in history when the Europeans discovered the river Niger, which the people living there had of course discovered much earlier, they used the word niger, to refer also to the people living on the banks of the niger river.

So black person in latin is Aethiops
Since the nominative plural of Aethiops is Aethiopês your sentence should be:

De Aethiopês nil nisi bonum dicendum est

or

let nothing be said of the blacks (negroes) but what is good

and the opposite

De Aethiopês nil nisi malum dicendum est

or

let nothing be said of the blacks (negroes) but what is bad


Anyway, these are the two sentences you asked for

Hope it helps

Maybe the reason black people get so mad at being called a nigger is that they don't want to be reminded of being black.  Even the word black has become politically incorrect.

negro is Spanish for black
nigrum is Latin for black

Acer nigrum = black maple
Piper nigrum = Black Pepper
Allium nigrum = Black Garlic
Solanum nigrum = Black Nightshade
albus nigrum = white nigger

Um no.

Look at my name, foo lol.  <3 blackness ty

Anyway

If anything the people who use these words flippantly have a problem with being black. 

Most of these comedians and rap artists who use the N word and vilify black culture are usually married to white women--not just any white woman--the whitest Scandinavian looking chick they can find.  Most of whom aren't even "hot" by white standards. 


Those blacks who purport positive aspects of black culture: Samuel L. Jackson, Will Smith (and OMFG is jada gorgeous), Denzel Washington, Al Sharpton -- are married to black women.  But the media doesn't focus on them.  In fact most of powerful black hollywood are black couples--except those that call their women "ho's" and "bitches"

Now hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

There has to be some correlation between refusing to date your own people and constantly chiding your people.

I know PROUD PROUD Italians and Asians who would definately react  to being called a Wop or Chink/Gook respectively. 

But they're making money--a negro's gotta eat I suppose. 
( I say negro all the time--it isn't degrading )

The problem lies within ignorance--most don't understand how degrading this word is. No other culture employs this technique of using a derragatory word and precipitously lessening it's power.

Speaking from experience; I was held by my shirt and called a "dirty rotten nigger," by a acquaintance at college. He responded by saying "Well I come from a very racist background. there are no blacks where I live and the KKK passes out flyers weekly--plus that Dave Chappell guy says it so I figured it was ok with u all now."

Yeah....and don't even say he's the only one with these perceptions.

Asians do not refer to themselves as "Gooks" and it is not colloquial.
Jews do not refer to themselves as Kikes.
Most Hispanics do not refer to themselves as Spics or wetbacks.
Italians don't enjoy the word Wop--I've seen them react :-)

oddly enough, I have known at least 1 person of each of these ethnicities who referred to themselves comically with these words..and many more.

my favorite though was what my old roommate (half Jewish, half Italian) used to call himself - pizza bagel
