I don't use it ever. Big difference between the endings er and a. ****** is racist. It's known to be directed towards black people because we've been called that for centuries. White people weren't called white people until other races came in. Same with black people. Nigga is directed towards a friend. It's exactly like saying dude except for black people. Kinda fucked up how the media cuts out when someone says nigga, but they're allowed to say ****** on tv ( saw it on MTV). I mean, if they're gonna blur any other word out it should actually a cuss word.
