Black people do call themselves that, which in any degree is degrading. If for an instance there was a group of friends hanging out and one walked up and said "yo whatz up nigga", they find it to be okay, but in another scene a person of a different race where to say the same thing, they want to get angry and say negative things about that person, calling them racist and things. Its not right. I have witnessed it happen and have siad a few things to make the ones in the wrong think on what was said and done. Either way the word is degrading.
