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)BLACK, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

The nickname Niger means "black", which is usually taken to mean a dark complexion and/or African descent.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_Niger

Nigger is a noun in the English language. The word originated as a neutral term referring to black people,[1] as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger ("color black") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger
