Same thing with gay men. They call each other "fag" all the time, but it's still a racial slur.

I'm Polish and Irish. You can call me what ever you fucking like.

You can't say that black/rap pop stars represent the black community any more than you can say Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton represent the white community. Most black people I know don't go around calling each other "nigga" and most white people I know don't run around getting drunk without panties every night.

Saying that all black people call each other "nigga" is just another stereotype on the pile I think.
