Nigga obviously stemmed from nigger. So why is it all of the sudden okay to say "nigga" rather than nigger? And it is perfectly fine for blacks to say such, but not whites.

I just say whatever, there is no difference in my eyes.

So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last.
Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand.
The things you think are precious I can't understand.

Nigga is like sayin "Wassup homie?" but 'Nigger' is calling a black person a bad name-ish.

saying "Nigger" to a black man is like calling a Mexican a "wetback" or a white guy "white trash".
