I interpret it as a counter-argument to the axiomatic social status quo upon which racism relies for its existence. I say it's axiomatic because of the stark contrasts between good and evil, white and black that exist in the social consciousness. The status quo relies on the assumption that it is good while anyone who exists contrary to its mechanisms is obviously evil. It's an polarized and narrow mentality that flies in the face of a gradient reality, defiant of the rigid consensus.
In the case of the word nigger, it's often imbued with the worst, most misguided sentiments people are capable of expressing towards each other. Want to write off people who are different as "niggers?" Okay, then chances are, you're the "nigger," who's simply too myopic and pretentious to witness and accept the vibrant menagerie of human diversity. We're all different and they're nothing wrong with that, but don't exaggerate the fact based on entirely arbitrary premises and expect anyone to take you seriously.
