    Like all words, the definition of ‘nigger’ in a social setting relies largely on context. How familiar the two parties are with each other, wether it is said in fun or anger, and what color their skins are. It does not mean the same thing when a white person calls a black person nigger as it does when a black person says it. For a white person to address a black as ‘nigger’ is, in most cases, brash and exceedingly rude. There is too much bad history in that situation. When a black person refers to other blacks as ‘nigger,’ it is usually a familiar term that acknowledges common ground and a willingness to be frank. Of course, as always, these examples are vague generalizations.
