Also, I always wonder the difference between the whole "black people saying ****a" argument and pretty much any other offensive word.

Girls, these days anyway, call each other bitch in a playful/friendly manner all the time ("She's my bitch" "I love you, bitch."). They don't get mad when they do it; its almost a term of endearment. Let a man or another woman call them a bitch in a different setting though and it'll be a big issue.

I guess I feel like its human nature to take a word that may be offensive to you and use it amongst yourselves.

I suppose but, I look at it as, either it's offensive or it's not. I would never say it to my friends, eventhough they say it's ok, out of respect. I just think that if a word is so offensive that you would kick person A's ass for saying it then you should do the same to person B who says it in the same context no matter what.
