    African Americans sometimes use the “N-word” with one another as an expression of familiarity, even a term of affection and not generally as an insult. It’s similar, I believe, to children calling their siblings names. You might call your kid brother a “squirt” or “Shorty” all the time, but if someone outside your family called him that, it would be seen as an insult.
