Again, i am not arguing that it's not a racist word when used in a racist context. If your intent with the word is to "knock a black man down a notch" then it's obviously racist. Im arguing that simply using the word does not change the context into a racial one.
Look at the context and interpret the use of the word. Don't look at the word and interpret the context. That's all im saying.
