Etymology can't be used to justify whether a term is racist or not.  That's a kind of genetic fallacy. Otherwise I could just say nigger simply means black-colored instead of anything offensive since that's what the original latin term means.

You do know when black people says Nigga, they are demeaning themselves right? Its ignorance. He even called Zimmerman a "Nigga", which means "guy" interchangably if you paid attention to the testimony. 

Most African Americans don't even know the reason why they say cracker, they just say it, but they aren't doing their ancestors any favors. 

To be fair, "nigga" was a way of spinning the other word if you know what i mean. You have to understand that it's not exactly the same word.

 

The hilarious thing is that everybody says "nigga" now. EVERYBODY! Blacks, whites, spanish, Asian and everything else

Yes it is hilarious that a lot of people are using it, but obviously its kept within certain communities and it can only be used outside if you command the same dialect...

Its a spin on the word, but ignorance allowed it to breed itself from a similar term. You can use it in peaceful situations and you can use it in heated situations and obviously with black people the world "nigga" holds no racial barrier, however, when one does not understand why the term has been deformed mass confusion ensues, especially when blacks get angry when non-blacks use it. Hypocrisy....there is no spin if certain people cannot use it. It shouldn't be said at all, even within a community.
