When it boils down to an entire population believing that a single word implies racism (though this word altered to end with a different sound or used by someone of a certain race is fine apparently) then something's wrong.
Nothing is wrong and there's no implication. It was a word used when black people were enslaved by your ancestors. Surely you can understand why white people shouldn't use it.
If its a word that truly causes them to feel offended then they wouldn't use it themselves, and changing the ER to an A wouldn't entirely change its meaning. It was your ancestors too might I add.
