I tend to view Nigger as a "situational swearword" - in other words, it is sometimes offensive, and sometimes not.
I am a white middle class person, and if I call someone a nigger it is probably offensive.
I have known black guys call their black friends nigger (as in "Yo, Niggaz, Word!") and it is clearly not offensive when used like that.
It's all in the intent.
