I was responding to this...
And I'm just saying that I have witnessed be ok on a few occasions. Again, it's not often but it does happen.

Under no circumstances is it ok for you as a white person to refer to a black person as the n-word

For him to be right it would mean that any hip hop artist who says it would be racist. Because context doesn’t matter only the word does by his judgment. It would mean that when the Harrison twins used the term to describe Frank Kaminski, since it was a cross race reference, they for certain became racist right? This guy obviously has no idea what he’s talking about and has no idea how people who grew up together communicate when they’re of separate races or creeds. He’s totally ignorant to this entire topic just spewing stupidity left and right.

Just a word. No more no less.

I’m sure they were posting exactly what they were told. I’m sure the social media person doesn’t have the authority to freewheel a response

Clemson's Dabo Swinney defends response to assistant coach's use of racial slur
This is a perfect illustration of a non-racist use of the N-word.
This is no "strawman" or hypothetical situation. This actually happened.
I think it's stupid the guy even apologized. He was correcting a player telling him not to say the word. He probably shouldn't have said it, but in the heat of the moment he did. That doesn't make it racist.

Swinney said former tight end D.J. Greenlee and Pearman were on a separate part of the practice field when an argument happened in 2017. Greenlee told The State newspaper, "Me and the coach got into it, and I was speaking with one of my teammates. He heard me use the N-word, basically, and basically tried to correct me by saying the N-word back."
Swinney said Greenlee approached him privately to discuss what happened. According to Swinney, Pearman was "profusely apologetic."
quote:
"I would fire a coach immediately if he called a player an N-word. No questions asked," Swinney said Monday. "That did not happen. Absolutely did not happen. It has not happened. Coach Pearman was correcting D.J., and another player was talking to D.J., or D.J. was yelling at the player, and D.J. said something he probably shouldn't have said. He said, 'I blocked the wrong F'ing N-word,' and Coach Pearman thought he was saying it to him, and he's mad, and he reacted, and in correcting him, he repeated the phrase.
"And [Pearman] said, 'We don't say we blocked the wrong F'ing N-word.' And he repeated it. He shouldn't have done that. There's no excuse for even saying that. But there is a big difference. He did not call someone an N-word."
I think it's stupid the guy even apologized. He was correcting a player telling him not to say the word. He probably shouldn't have said it, but in the heat of the moment he did. That doesn't make it racist.

You’re talking in circles. Which one is it?

As I've said multiple times, words can be socially unacceptable to say and not be racist, depending on the context.
This situation is one where it was not wise for him to say it, but in no way was it racist and apparently none of the parties involved, including the players, thought it was racist.

It protects all forms of speech even hate speech. Otherwise it isn't freedom of speech.
