Because back then they didn't see them as human beings just animals so they said there black people. Now that they were given freedom, they were as equal as any other race. And its slang because people are not educated, its not called white people its Caucasians. When you see a Spanish speaking person you don't assume its a Mexican and call them Mexican they are Latin Americans. Just because they have a different skin color dosnt give you the right to call them by there skin but by their heritage or race (African American).
