It comes from the Spanish word for black, yes when some sailors met some Africans for the first time I think.
But as time goes on words and culture change and it's considered offensive, same as with colored.
Ironically at a time I think black was actually offensive (as in in the past 200 years)

Negro up here in the US largely originated as a "Gentleman's Word" for black people of African descent. Somewhere along the line, it got warped a bit more and encompassed Black people from any outlying, generally thought of as Savage, region of the world.

There's a reason the White Man's Burden is worded the way it is; by that point Negro became coded language and polite terminology to refer to blacks as a collective group, and it developed a variety of subtext that made it be seen by blacks themselves as generally offensive (Negro was quickly associated with uneducated, savage, lazy, and worthless. The south has their own supra-derogatory version that gets you modded/banned pretty much everywhere if you use it now).

It actually has no relation to negro, with a lowercase n, that refers to the color in several languages, one of which is indeed Spanish.

Although people really should make up their minds. If PoC is positive and refers to person of color, why is the term "colored" wrong?

Outdated.
Person of colour puts the identity of them as a person first and race second
Whereas colored actually removes the entire identity of them as a person since it was never "colored person" just "colored"
It's why black people is okay but blacks is usually considered offensive, within reason.

Is it wrong that I find this funny?
The more I watch it the funnier it is.
It's funny to me because you can tell he genuinely is about to snap and scream the word he wants to but is having so much trouble struggling to control himself.

Al right shit gets you more money since , it is so outlandish people who have these views want to hold on to anyone who agrees with them. If is civil still most people will not care .

There it is. Nobody complains about not being able to say offensive words unless they really want to say offensive words. Dude is trash.

I know you're trolling but for anyone who might not understand this:
"My friend is black."
"My friend is a black."

Which of these is okay to say? Take your time. I know it's really hard to grasp.

I have never met anyone who would say "my friend is a black"

I don't need to be told it's wrong to refer to black people as "blacks" or "colored". I know that it is dehumanizing. My entire presence in this topic has been thinking that "People of Color" is a weird term to use, but then again I rarely see any non-white people use PoC.

I guess PoC is really just something white people who want to be offended on everyone's behalf use. I'm glad there has been a lot of push back in ethnic groups to exclude whites from their issues.

"Negro(id)" is a technical term that isn't really polite anymore.
"Colored" never really served much purpose. Even "white" people range from a bizarre pale green to uncanny magenta.
