Negrophobia (literally "fear of black", from Spanish and/or Portuguese: negro, "black" and from Greek: φόβος, phóbos, "fear") is a fear of black people or people of African descent. Negrophobia can be caused by various things, but commonly, it is a effect of xenophobia. In contrast to popular belief, negrophobia is not associated with racism. A person with negrophobia does not believe his or her race is superior over the black race, but fears the black race. For an example of negrophobia please see this clip provided by The Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC. http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/07/21/4725628-scaring-white-people-for-fun-and-profit
