But they're not complete synonyms, exactly because the society decided one of them is more powerful, and more demeaning to the one who used is (depending on the social circle). I'm not sure if those shades of meaning are only learned from one's peers, or if there's a certain difference of passion-bearing property of the sounds themselves that make us innately recognize the word for what it is. After all, if you see such word used in a language you never heard, it's likely you'll be able to recognize the word as such passion-bearer.
Assuming the common axioms of mathematics:
Proof 1:
x = (e^(ln(dif(e^(x)))*i*pi/x))/(i^2)
Proof 2:
x = 1
Take a person now learning calculus; to him, the first answer is a spectacular way to represent the second. He is dumbfounded by the effort made to bring about such a complicated and beautiful way to say something so simple. To him, the second is crude, the first, a true expression of the mathematical vernacular.
Now take someone who is actually a proficient and experienced mathematician; to him, both equations are the same, but the first is a mere exaggeration created to express a trifle of a number. A waste of time and paper, if you will. The second to him is the true expression, and it's a waste to have to go out of your way to express it as the first.
Thus are people in regards to words like NlGGER. Some (usually those less educated - though more educated than the crudest ones; they would be the analogue of the calculus student: knows the basics, and is now starting the understand the new complexities) believe NlGGER to be an abhorrence on society, and should be extinguished, while others (the more experienced) understand they're both just ways to express the same thing, though one may be crude, and the other complex, the end result is the same, and you just waste your time trying to be pc.
