It is almost insulting to use a word that slave owners once referred to black people as.

I just think it is a stupid term and just stupid to distinguish between nigger and nigga. Neither should be used.

And this isnt just me, many significant black leaders think the usage of the word is offensive and shouldnt be used.
To me. saden, this is the main problem. I am very familiar with black culture, jokes and community. I still think it is a huge issue.
