No, I don't go around calling people it, but I also don't gasp when I hear it.

while "we" have become desensitized to hearing it, pretty much any black person that isn't a friend, if they over heard it, would have a huge problem. as someone said above, you can use it if you in that group, but otherwise it's gonna cause a problem.
lpm, don't tell you sister to stop using it. she probably won't listen to that. her use of it now is probably a bit of a phase, like it's the word of the month or whatever. but try to get her to understand that using it in public is a big no-no and if she says it at the wrong time, could make her life rather unpleasant.
