The essential point you're making then, is that you dont want black people to be offended when you say the word n*****....because thats the one thing I was referring to in my post.

Good luck getting that to happen.
Which is a stupid point. It's like trying to pressure women to not get insulted when you call them a "bitch", or gays to get insulted when you call them "faggot" -

If I walked up to you oh so liberal progressive minded people and addressed your mother/sister/girlfriend "Hey bitch". . .or "Hey honky-bitch" (just so we can get some racist/sexist material in there) - are you REALLY going to let that roll off the side - please, you'd be ready to fight, even if I said it with a genuine smile and used it "humorously".
