In my opinion it is only racist if you use it in a racist way like Kramer did. The majority of the time white people say "nigger" its in a racist way which is why whenever a white guy says that controversy breaks loose. I have black friends and I say "nigger" sometimes and it doesn't bother them at all because I do not use it in a racist way. It all depends on how you use it and what context you use it in.

..i see what you mean but I thought black people used the word so it should not have that negativ meaning...overuse it in a way so you take the meaning and the power away from the word...to me words like afro americans are more negativ cause it places a whole group....
