The word "Niger" only appears once in the King James Version of The Bible:

Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

and it is a NAME in that verse, it has nothing whatsoever to do with skin color. If you are asking about the word with TWO g's, that word is not in the Bible. At all.

What did God say about blackman will president in the bible?

A) God said nothing in the bible which refers to the United States of America - that country wasn't known about when the God of the bible was speaking to his people. B) The God of the bible said nothing to his people about black people. C) God said nothing about Presidents - that political position wasn't known about when the God of the bible was speaking to his people. So, to answer the question - God said nothing about a blackman, the presidency and America. Actually The Bible says: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin?" That refers to black people. No, it refers to Ethiopians - who happen to be black. Other black people were known then - the Nubians, for example - so if God wanted to refer to skin colour, he could have, but he didn't. Not even in the minds of the translators of the middle ages, who would have known "black" in the meaning the question asks of.
