I’ll give you my opinion on it. First, when other races use the word ‘nigger,’ it’s meant to degrade black people and make them feel less than human. When black people use the word with other black people, it’s not meant to degrade or make you feel low. Now the word has a totally different meaning with some black people. It could mean your homie or friend, not a low, dumb stupid, ignorant being. For some black people, there is no difference. Nigger is a bad word no matter who says it. To me, there are two different meanings: One is someone who is ignorant and doesn’t act like they have any sense. The other is just meaning your boy, homie or friend. I don’t use ‘nigger’ every day, just sometimes. Yet if other races use the term, they mean it to be derogatory and to degrade. And they use the word with the intent of having some sort of hold on you and power over you.
