This is just becoming way too much.

Why would you WANT to call them that name? It's a derogatory term, and it has no place in common usage.
If a few street thug wanna-be's use that term towards each other, so be it. That's their prerogative to do so. It doesn't make it right for them to use the term, and it doesn't make it right for them to kick your ass if you use the term. I guarantee you don't hear any black engineers, scientists, or congressmen using that term towards each other.
If a word is generally known to offend a group of people, using it towards them is just wrong. The fact that the lower class people have adopted that term as a term to use towards each other is sad, but a reality. Some people are just looking for an excuse to start fights and trouble.
