Nigger is an adapation of the spanish word "Negro" which means the color black. As many captains of slave ships were spanish sailors, the term negro became popular through-out the slave trade culture. This word has now evolved into a racial-slur against african americans.
However, nigger has also become an accepted term amongst the black population. This has derived as a form of fighting an injustice. The majority population had give themselves a derogatory name to call the minority. Black people have taken this name and, through using it with each other, have weakened the power that white people have over them with it. The same thing has happened in the holocaust with the Jewish people calling each other the horrible monikers made up by the SS and Nazi Propaganda machine.
"You're my nigger." What used to mean "I own you slave" now means "You and I are close friends."

A term black people can use to call each other and not get in trouble. Once a white person calls a black person a nigger they get their ass kicked. But if black people call white people a cracker or honkey or nething else nothing happens.
white person talkin " hey nigger whats up" this is proceded by the white person gettin their ass kicked
Black person talkin " hey my nigger whats up" then nothing happens..
bunch of bullshit

A misspronounced version of the spanish and some african languages word for black, "Negro"
Apparently, it was this exact word that racially opressed black people, and this word alone.
further more, the racial tag that goes along with saying this word if you are not black compleatly contradicts its self in every way that black people say it is offensive because it
1)is only allowed to be said by black people (hmm i remember when other things were only allowed to be used by black people, i believe they were racist though O.o)
2)Is actually used FREQUENTLY by black people! having grown up around many black people, most of which society would call "ghetto" ive come across the explanation that it is a "term of endirment"
this by the way is complete bull shit as 90% of black people dont take any offence or most likely dont know the meaning of most other racial slurs against blacks.
ie spade, mooley, ect.
black guy: sup my nigga! how you doin?
Black guy2: nothin much nigga, just chillin at the crib.
