Obviously they don't use it in the same sense as it was used all those years ago.
After N.W.A and other's started black people started using it to describe themselves it became common to some people.The whole point was to get rid of the "power" of the word.
So of course if you (who im assuming is a white dude) say it to a black man its going to sound offensive just based off the history.
And it's not used by all black people. It gets criticized just as much by other black Americans as it does whites.
