First, he wouldn't say "nigger" he would say "nigga". Big difference.
Only time I hear whites saying "nigger" is if they are a hardcore racist and talking amongst other whites.
"Nigga" is used for a much wider variety of purposes, some deragotory, but other times as a friendly, comical term of endearment, like "yo wassup my niggaz?
In contrast, "nigger" is only used for one purpose -- to spread hate. At least in my experience.
Everyone's experience is different
That being said, why is it OK for black people to say yo wassup my nigga, but it is not OK for two white people to do it? And no, I'm not saying that a white person should go around saying it to black people....he shouldn't. Unless that black person was a good buddy of his and nobody else was in earshot.
