Awesome! I am sure he feels so powerful and special to use that word!
It is pretty liberating. Kind of like throwing off the shackles that can restrict freedom.

I don’t know if he is Black or not Does that matter? I think you have read my thoughts on historical context of that word
You have made it clear that skin color matters when it comes to what people are allowed to do and not do. Even though you want to limit it to use of a word, that’s still racist.
If you don’t think taking such a position is racist, then give me another example of skin color restricting what we allow people to do or not do, but is not considered racist.

Thanks for the polite dialogue!
I understand what you are saying but maybe i can explain it differently-
1) ppl aren’t limited to what they say or don’t say- if white ppl want to use the N word …that’s on them
2) when a white person uses the N word today (in the 21st) …they have a knowledge that the word is taboo and has historically been an insult to Black people …with that knowledge, they still use it (in any variations) it carries the full impact of the historical context …that part is the offense.
3) When Black ppl use the N word …it doesn’t carry the same taboo and its implied context isn’t transferable
4) i know it’s a double standard and hypocritical but because of historical context ….it’s not a racist belief
