well, being black i do actually use the word. i call my boys this very regularly. but i'm not a racist nor am i praising slave lords when i use it. it's just how we use it; when i use it the word carries no negative connotations with it. and you can't use the word around anyone. one must be cautious when and where to drop the bomb. i do agree i have no idea why latinos use it, that makes no sense to me. i take my education seriously as well, currently enrolled at Boston College. it's not just the "dumb" rappers you see on t.v. that use it. overall, it's cool with me. if you use it too frequently then there's a problem. plus you can tell if how someone is using it (positively or negatively) by the way it's delivered

 exactly the problem. If it carries no negative connotations with it why do latinos use it?

you see some of us black people calling each other nigger or nigga is like other white people calling each other white boi, or jews calling each other dirty jews, or cheap jews.
