Malcolm X was told as a youngster that he needed to be “realistic about being a ni**er” in terms of his career goals. So it is not a mystery that the n word has serious implications in black history as a method of categorizing, stereotyping, insulting, and oppressing black people.
Though over time it became slang and I'm positive he'd be disgusted by it, like any other well educated black civil rights activist would including MLK Jr. It goes against everything they fought for tbh, but instead," it's a word only we can use" is the modern day excuse amongst the black youth. I won't speak on it any further though.. Just know somewhere out there a white girl is rapping along to Lookin Ass Niqqa as we speak.
