Nigg(a) and Nigg(er) have two different meanings. Sometime in the 80s, black youth took it upon themselves to take power out of the word by using it as a form of "brother". The thing is like most slang the (er) was dropped and (a) was used instead meaning when racists said it you knew what they meant because that (er) was "ER" and very well emphasized on.
The same thing can be said about the word fa(g) vs ***(got) which have the same meaning but obviously it would be more offensive if a straight man or a homophobic woman called you the word versus a gay friend or your close pals.
Regardless of how you feel, the ****ing word has a negative meaning, there is no debate there. This is a word that was shouted out during a MANHUNT with guns and nooses right before they shot and hung black people FOR NO REASON other than fun, like it was a sport or something.
See this: They are CELEBRATING hanging people, learn something.
