In general it's not meant as an insult but it depends on how it's used and when. I agree that sometimes it's the connotation of what is being said...or implied.

He said that, "niggers were the ones with the ropes around their necks hanging from trees and "niggas" were the ones with the gold ropes around their necks hanging out at clubs."
