Nothing to do with the girl:
You hear the black dudes standing by say 'nigga,' as one might use dude, guy, or man. They use it in reference to the kid who got beat up. Yet if white guys started saying nigga this, nigga that, besides sounding like a wigger, the black dudes probably wouldn't take too kindly to that. It's like if chicks tossed around the word cunt, and called you a cunt, but the moment you called a chick a cunt, you got in big trouble. The only fair solutions are either to not to use the word at all, use it only when non-black dudes aren't around (or girls with the cunt example) or just let anyone use the word (and similar equivalent words). It's like linguistic segregation by where you can't even talk like the person next to you, in what's supposed to be neutral grounds (in your own private clubs, businesses and groups is a different matter). Intra-racial friendships would be hard to maintain when there are different rules of engagement for the different races - which may be the point.
