not necessarily. And not in this context either. But the use of this word isn't exactly a black and white issue. I think anyone here in the corporate world knows that the use of the n word towards any fellow employee of any type of work setting will at the very least have you an immediate visit to your HR directors office. The only difference here is that it was used on a work phone. Dude is a dumbass

Was it a work phone or are we assuming a president has a phone provided by AT&T?

It's a word. You're writing all of that garbage analyzing a fricking word

McDonalds and OT rap battles suit you much better

100% agree with this. The only thing that makes me double take when looking at this story is that it is deemed so racist and offensive that it warrants a $100MM lawsuit.

And we are talking about THIS context. Its not offensive to a logical person.

Fair, but in this context its pretty clearly not offensive and I have heard 1,000,000 times that using "as" is not offensive when referring to a group of "friendS" like this meme.

Sure. Do you call this the "N" word? If someone asked you what the "N" was, would you say "ni**as"?
