The use of offensive words as slang.

[Odin1199]

Niger is a bad word, but Niga isn't. Niga means gangster, thug, homie and stuff like that. It's slang now. Hey, if Tupac or any other rappers use it, then why can't we? Now ***** is used throughout the music industry, so it's completely ok to be used, but you might get a reaction if use it near blacks. Then just tell them MTV taught me and if it finds it acceptable, so do I.

Also, most people usually take things in the worst possible way, because they're dumb, insecure and self lacking. That's why getting reactions is a common sight for any word.
