Joe posted a few days ago about Black folks taking a stand against the use of ‘nigga’ in their community. Specifically Black Enterprise Magazine against Eddie Griffin’s use of the word at their event in Miami.
I’ve made my feelings regarding the use of the word quite clear here.

I am helping spread the word in the blogosphere about the Jena Six. I’ve just read a post by Shanikka that turned my blood cold.
