Yes, the term 'nigger' was most likely started in a derogatory way by us evil white folk, however, in today's world, it is used much more by the black community in a negative and I guess postive? way. Either way, it's a nasty term that typically shouldn't be used.

I am glad you like me. At least someone does. Anyway, back to the point. Ryan, just imagine you hearing a word over and over again to describe people that look just like you. Over time, you and the generations after you will use that word to describe each other. Granted, many have try to change the spelling and say that the word Nigga is different then the word nigger, but that is not the point.
The point is in which context the word is used. Here is a example. Hey, look at those niggers over there looting! Hell, get the gun! They, might try and go for the boat. Sam, you know niggers can't swim.
Chris is my nigga for life. No, matter what went down, he always had my back.
The interesting thing is that the tone is completely different in which the way the word was used.
