"Nigger" is an amazing book that gives the history and usage of the word. It explains why blacks should be upset when hearing a non-black person saying the word. The basic gist is that the word signifies the brutal treatment of blacks and the use of the word by blacks removes the negativity that the word has long implied. When a white or non-black says nigger or nigga it reaffirms the negative connotation that history has developed. I highly recommend anyone to read it.
But my question is do other minorities get to address themselves or blacks with nigger/nigga?
