"nigga" is a variant of the racial slur "nigger," which originates from the 17th–18th century English adaptation of the Spanish/Portuguese word negro (black) and was used derogatorily against Black people. In the late 20th century, primarily within some Black communities, "nigga" was reappropriated as a term of camaraderie, friendship, or endearment among peers. Its use is context-dependent: it can be neutral or affectionate within the community, but it remains highly offensive and unacceptable when used by outsiders or in general contexts.
