I agree that there can be subtle differences between the use of "nigger" vs. "nigga". Nonetheless it is the use of term with derogatory connotations. If people think it is acceptable to use terms with such double standards, then surely they cannot complain about other double standards. You don't hear Jewish people calling one another heebs. Why would one think it is acceptable to hear black people calling one another nigga. Doesn't seem to make sense.
