It isn't hard at all not saying words like "n*gg*r" and "negro". While "negro" isn't as fucked up as "n*gg*r", plenty of white people know how to use it in a spiteful manner that really really offends black people. So even if you aren't deliberately trying to insult someone by using it, it's probably best that you just eliminate the word from your vocabulary altogether.
So what if you hear people sayin' things like "What up my nigga!!!" You won't ever hear black people saying "What up my n*gg*r!!!" Or maybe you heard some black guy say "Yo dawg I'm an educated negro!!!". That kind of vocab... words like "nigga" and "negro" really just ain't meant for you to use.
Maybe you've seen certain white folks talkin' like that around black folks who happened to be cool with it. That's cause they spent so much time around them, they're like family, and involved with the culture, so among that select crowd, they are an exception and its acceptable only because he or she is like a honorable brotha or sista among that particular crowd and they all know the white person has nothing against their race. But even then... it can still be awkward, and there are plenty of black folks who aren't cool with anyone using the word "nigga" around them even if they are the same race.
So really... there is no good, positive reason for you to keep those words in your vocabulary. No good reason at all.
