I'd like the see the whole thing to get context and calling black people niggers was a stupid thing to do, but I have a problem with black people using it too. The word has roots in slavery and is derogatory, not a term of friendship or comradery. That being said, either it's wrong to use it or everyone can. That is...if they really want to remove the power from the word and not keep it as "their word" (which is a form of segregation and racism itself).
