Burning question......... " ? "

I've been thinking about the word Nigger recently, suprise aye?

But I've been thinking, looking around a few places, dicionary.com, etc. Of the meaning of the word Nigger. For one it is derogotory, plain and simple.

I ALWAYS used to think that a "Nigger" was somebody that was all around lazy, didn't have a job, was a neuisance to society. Then in my 8yrold MTV days I learned that the "n" word was often associated with the "Blacks". Which whatever, ok saying the "N" word is describing a black person.

But now it is at the point, where A white kid like myself can't even think about the word, let alone say it aloud. But one thing about the word that I love is how pissed off people get when you call them that. Over the years i've ALWAYS called my friends (white) niggers, niggas, spics, jews, wetbacks, anything that is racially offensive. But how can it be offensive to anybody who is what i'm saying, unless they are admitting that they are shitty people and fall into the stereotype.

Basically my question is, Is it ' O K ' for me to call my friends Niggers?
