Used among African Americans, saying 'nigger' defies the idea that one person can be superior to another because of race, used among European Americans, saying 'nigger' reinforces that idea.
The slave trade of Europe and America was aided by the slave trade of the Africans themselves, they were practicing this before America was discovered. How many black people do you think know this? Do you believe they would approve of this?

Actually plenty of black people know this, it's one of the reasons for contentions between native African-Americans and African immigrants. There still quite a lot of resentment.
