I’m not black, and I don’t live in the US, but I believe blacks call themselves that to actually make fun of the expression, and in a friendly way. Here in Venezuela people in general call each other negro (black or nigga), catire (blonde or honky), flaco (skinny), gordo (fat), etc. and there is no offense taken. The only expression I haven’t heard is ‘indian’ said to a ‘brown’ guy. A blonde guy can say to a black guy something like ‘c’mon nigga, give me a better price’ and he would answer ‘no way honky, you know it’s already dirt cheap’. The terms are also used among people of the same race, and always, it’s in a friendly way, because we consider that being black, brown or white is not something good or bad, it just . . . is.
