Well, fuck. Studies, man!
One issue was Elder's pronunciation of the N-word. He used an exaggerated tone, enunciating the "er" at the end of the word rather than using the "a" pronunciation, which is more commonly accepted among and used by Black people, studies have shown.
I personally think the whole -er or -a pronunciation distinction is a load of horseshit.
"Niggger" -
regardless of how it's pronounced, either as a white person or black person, is either a crass, insulting and impolite word, not to used in song and everyday conversation, or it is not.
Trying to have it both ways at the same time, is just a Marxist, Orwellian mind fuck of words, similar to forcing a person to address insane men in woman's dresses and fake tits as "women".
This is one of the top ten rap "songs" of 2021:
