Meanings
- offensiveuncountableA liking for black people.
His negrophilism seems to be nothing beyond a fashion statement, almost a way of accessorizing. It's black pride without ever having to endure the downsides of being black.
1998, Jim Goad, The Redneck Manifesto, page 2481 more example
The only trouble with this negrophilism is that it doesn't recognize the Negro as a man. It recognizes him only as a Negro—if sometimes as a Negro Jesus Christ. And that is the worst condescension of all.
1965, Robert Penn Warren, Who Speaks for the Negro?
