No, I don't care if it's a swear word or not. I found the overabundant and unnecessary use of the word to be dislikable. Maybe it's because I'm not an American and English is not my first language, but every time I hear phrases like "these niggas out here" I'm thinking "which niggas? Can't you be specific?" Maybe it also feels a bit like I'm excluded from the audience, because by the polysemous use of the word, the rapper is himself a nigga, all his friends are niggas, "they out there" are niggas and the addressed listener is a nigga. It almost feels inappropriate to listen to music that places me, a white person, outside of the rapper's world. I do not fit in.
And yet I know from experience that there are a lot of rappers who's music and lyrics translate to all people, who don't address themselves or their environment, but something panhuman.

Eastern Europeans do tend to be white-skinned. There's nothing offensive about it, that's just reality. The "white guilt" that Americans seem to feel does not apply to us, my people were slaves to the German overlords for several hundred years, with similar conditions (were forced to work, were not allowed to learn how to read, were not allowed to move away, were bought and sold etc.). Slavery wasn't invented by the Americans, in fact African slaves were traded to America first by Western-European nations (Portugal, Spain, Lowlands, England, etc.).
