"Nigger" is a word that was used in incredibly racist and cruel ways against black people for many many years. Using that word makes people think that you are incredibly racist and consider black people to be inferior.

The trick is that there are some people in the black community who have taken that word and use it for themselves, as a way of trying to reclaim something that had once been used to hurt them. The big thing here is that if you are not black, using that word will make people think you're racist, not that you're standing on solidarity with the part of the black community trying to reclaim that word.

Okay, this explanation helps with my confusion. It did not make sense to me why it is used so much in media, if it offensive. Reclamation of the word makes some sense.
