Pardon the ignorance but isn’t there a significant difference in how you pronounce this word? There is one way to say it that is the taboo version (phonetic spelling sort of) and another - with -a in the end which is how it’s used in songs etc.? I have never heard the first pronunciation used in the US, but the second, accepted version is used everywhere, mostly by black people, but by white people too. Even though white people using the accepted version may raise some eyebrows, it’s nothing compared to what I imagine would happen if the first, phonetic pronunciation was used. Asking this because it seems many people here refer to rap / movies / street use of the word, where in 100% of the cases (besides maybe some historic prose) the word has been used in its modified, accepted form. As for the first, historic/ phonetic pronunciation, it seems unreasonable to use it in any context, besides maybe speaking of some historical usage in prose etc., unless, of course, one actually intends to be offensive.
