    Some blacks tend to call their friends ‘nigga’ as a term of endearment. You must understand that: 1) The term ‘nigga’ has a different definition than ‘nigger’. 2) The term ‘nigger’ throughout black American history has been used by whites as a means to place blacks at a lower level. Thus, even to this day blacks are offended (and rightly so) whenever we are referred to as ‘nigger’. I often greet blacks as ‘brother’ or ‘sister’. This too is a term of endearment. During the civil rights movement, blacks saw each other as brothers and sisters working for the same cause. Blacks wanted equal opportunity and a right to be heard. Today, when you hear blacks greet each other in this manner, keep in mind that it is a carryover from the days of the Civil Rights Movement.
