The word "nigger" has kinda been reclaimed by the black community. They've turned it around on itself so, while it was originally used against them, it's now almost a term of endearment.
I still don't like that word though. And I agree that it does seem comical at times to hear black people use it.
Gay people have done a similar thing with the word "queer" I suppose, although to a much lesser extent.
