I feel it should be used with discretion, and should not be made apart of one's standard vocabulary. I know plenty of my colored friends are offended by being referred to as a n*****. Even I am offended by its usage in certain scenarios. I have nothing but contempt for the word, or at least what it stands for. I hate it. That hatred is on record. It conjures up images that I can barely imagine. But I do imagine. Centuries of utter horror and inhumanity, encapsulated in one six-letter word. And the bit that always makes me simultaneously choke with tears and turn over with nausea is the basis for such treatment: the amount of melanin in a person's skin. It sickens me.
i understand your point , but the part that interested me the point of vocabulary . I do agree that it shouldn't become your daily phrase. But the thing that impacts me is the word in context . If i give you 2 scenarios using the same word , only one sounds offensive . 1. Hey whats sup my ****** , 2. Hey **** you stupid ******. Thats the part that puzzles me the most .

but at the end of the day its the same word just modernized . Like for example my cousin (whose a chick) , when she finds something delicious she saids she found it deli . Its still the same word at the end of the day , with a small edit.
