The word Негр (pronounced nyegr) is not a racist term, it is like saying "black"... It's simply the word used in Russian... Another more modern term would be "afro-russian" афророссияне (pronounced afrorossiayanye)... However, the idea that because it sounds like the N-Word it carries the same negative symbolism in Russia is a poor assumption.
The US election campaign has plunged to new a level of accusation and toxicity after Donald Trump claimed Russian leader Vladimir Putin had no respect for Barack Obama and appeared to imply he used a racial epithet to describe the American president. He also encouraged Russia to hack the emails of his election rival Hillary Clinton.
In comments that were extreme even by the standards Mr Trump, the Republican candidate was asked by reporters in Florida about the controversy surrounding the alleged Russian hacking of Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails.
Mr Trump said Mr Putin had neither respect or affection for Mr Obama. He implied that he had heard the Russian leader use a racial slur to describe the US president. Trump talking Putin goes from "he called Obama the n-word" to "I hope he likes me" in 20 seconds.
“I was shocked to hear him mention the N-word,” said Mr Trump, who has previously spoken of his admiration for the Russian leader. “You know what the N-word is.”
He added: “Number one he doesn’t like him and number two he doesn’t respect him. I think he’s going to respect your president if I’m elected and I hope he likes me.”

SO how can Putin hack a server that no longer exists ??? Thats the only place 30,000 missing emails could be..... Quite a trick.
Can you prove or disprove any of your outlandish fantasy's....
The DNC emails have already been made public and still word on who did the hack.....unless you can prove differently....
Take it up with national security. They said it was Russia and i believe them.
ASPEN, Colorado — Senior U.S. national security officials tell NBC News they are confident that Russian intelligence agencies hacked the Democratic National Committee.
The open question, they say, is whether those same intelligence agencies directly leaked material to WikiLeaks, in what would seem to be an unprecedented effort to influence the U.S. election.
The Russian government had the "motive, means and opportunity," one official said, and many officials believe it is likely the Russians gave the emails to WikiLeaks, but there is not yet definitive evidence.
"It's a leading theory, but we couldn't prove it in court at the moment," the official added. The FBI and the NSA are now investigating who leaked the documents, U.S. officials say.
Trump for Prison 2016
No proof who did the hack, only suspicion,....and no proof who leaked the documents to Wiki....
They deny it....and we can't prove it....
The ONLY place that was missing 30,000 emails was Hillary's server....
how can Putin hack a server that no longer exists ???.... Quite a trick.
Trumps HOPES they FIND the missing emails....(actually so do a lot of people, probably including the FBI) but its obvious no one can now hack a server that no longer exists....thats been stripped
of hard drives by the FBI for investigation....so whats the problem...????
<sigh>
I don't know if he was a translator, just that he knew Russian.
I always knew the Russian word for "black" to be чёрный, pronunciation: [CHYOHR-niy]
Translation sites show "herp" to be "ni**er."

Well, my Russian wife says chyohr-niy is just the word for "black" (as in the color) and would be seen as more insulting if applied to a person than nyegr.
And there is no proof that Putin didn't use a slur about Obama....
Damocles has already won this debate.
Did I mis-state something or was the question too hard....
I realize hacking a server that doesn't exist might be a little tricky....but that seems to be a big deal about spinning Trump's sarcastic remark....
And there is no proof that Putin didn't use a slur about Obama....
