		It is worth noting that while the word has been partly "reclaimed" by some young African Americans, others consider the term offensive in all contexts and do not agree that it is ever appropriate to use it.

		The word nigger is a highly controversial term used in many countries, including the US, Canada, Britain and Russia, to refer to individuals with dark skin, especially those of indigenous African descent who previously were racially classified by the now outdated term Negro.
		The word is thought to have come into its current form via the Southern U.S. pronunciation of "negro," which yielded phonetic mistranscriptions as "nigra." For much of its history, until the early 20th Century in America, "nigger" was used, primarily by whites, as vulgar synonym for fls.
		It is a portmanteau word of "white" and "nigger".

		I understand that one word is derived from the other, but I think there is something far more complex going on than sanitization, and the use of "nigga" by NWA does NOT signify acceptance of the word "nigger." Slrubenstein
		I do think it matters, who uses the word and in what context (true about many words, by the way -- one of the main areas of sociolinguistics); my only point was that "nigga" and "nigger" are not the same, and by extension the rules governing their use are not identical either.

		Quoting Merriam-Webster’s online reference, the word nigger "now ranks as perhaps the most offensive and inflammatory racial slur in English." There are also those who advocate removing the word from dictionaries all together.
		The word is derived from niger, the Latin word for the colour fl, via Spanish (negro), French (negre) and the archaic English neger.
		This term, which had been regarded as typifying offensive and derogatory attitudes within the white community, was adopted by the fl community as a form of self-assertion, with the aim of reducing the term’s derogation.
