Also when people say "the 'n-word'", I lose all respect for them for being that skittish about a sound we can make with our vocal cords.
But think of all the black people who have never known slavery, use the word numerous times each day, don't know their own fathers, have absolutely no connection whatsoever to their past, have known nothing but luxury compared to their distant relatives in africa? That word is hurtful to them because ...well...it just is, okay.
