Indeed.
I haven't seen anything on an online discussion forum to justify the use of this word yet & I belong to more than a few online discussion forums.
I wasn't shocked. I took note of who did it and why....It basically confirmed info I already had suspected.
I think it's an ugly word no matter who uses it or what color they are, or whether they say 'nigger' or 'niggah'. I jumped all over a group of 'black' (in quotes because race is an illusion) kids who were using that word on each other around my little boy. They were a bit stunned.
I hate the bullshit excuse of 'a nigger can be anyone of any color', because I just see that as a lame excuse to keep using an ugly, hurtful word when there is no call to do so. Yes, I am educated enough to know the origins of the word and what it means in the dictionary, but I don't think that's an excuse either.
In Duchess' case, I'm pretty sure she was just angry and trying to take a stab in a sore spot and going for shock value. Yes, I was a little surprised, because Duch usually isn't that crass in her mocking. I'm pretty certain she isn't racist though. Maybe in a deep sort of way that she never really thinks about, like "I wouldn't date a black man", but I seriously doubt she is the type to be overtly racist.
