Pardon my ignorance, but why is negro a bad term?
Because it comes from the word "nigger" or vice versa?

Because it comes from the word "nigger" or vice versa?It's not bad exactly, it's more like suspect. Oftentimes blacks, especially young blacks, will refer to each other as "Negro" as a form of address, elongating the E sound: Neeeegro, like a form of mockery.

The federal government will no longer use the terms “Negro” and “Oriental” after President Barack Obama signed a bill into law.
The official terms will be African-American and Asian-American. Welcome to 2016.
In a rare show of bipartisan support, the measure H.R.4238, passed unanimously in the House of Representatives and the Senate earlier this year. Obama signed it into law Friday.
The measure updates the terms the U.S. federal government uses to describe minorities, including American Indian to Native American and “Spanish speaking individual of Spanish descent” to Hispanic.

That's a bit severe. He was trying to heap praise upon African-Americans. It's not like he was being niggardly.
