The word shiite means "followers; members of party". As such, the term "Shi'a"alone has no negative or positive meaning unless we specify the leader of the party. If one is a Shi'a (follower) of the most righteous servants, then there is nothing wrong with being Shi'a, specially if the leader of such party has been assigned by Allah.
On the other hand, if one becomes the Shi'a a tyrant or a wrong-doer, he shall meet with the fate of his leader. In fact, Qur'an indicates that on the day of Judgment people will come in groups, and each group has its leader in front of it.
Currently Shiite mostly means followers of Ali a.s
shia say Imamat is one of 5 pillars of Islam and only God can select leader for people. but sunni say Imamat is not part of Islam and leader can be selected by people by any method like shura (for example for Abubakr) or by will of previous leader for example for Omar) or by people (for example for Ali).
the conflict of shia and sunni has been always amplified by world Imperialism to prevent Islam from spreading in world.

There was a minority of Muslims in 633 C.E. that supported the candidacy of 'Ali, the Prophet Mohammed's son-in-law, as Mohammed's successor. This political faction became known as the "Supporters of 'Ali" which in Arabic is Shiat 'Ali (where the modern term "Shiite" comes from). They derived their support from specific hadiths and events that they claimed showed that God had revealed to Mohammed that 'Ali would succeed him.
