    You've got it backwards. The way you're talking, it's as if the word is neutral, and any offense you cause by saying it is merely accidental.

    It's 2017, the overwhelming majority of the black population has declared the word categorically offensive. As an informed person, you know this. So saying it, with that knowledge, automatically makes it offensive. I mean, if you ever become an actor, and get cast in a movie as Robert E. Lee, then you'll probably get a pass. But other than that, saying the word, in any context, when you KNOW how offensive it is to so very many people, is just trollish.

    FWIW this being the case is a bad thing.

    We, as a society, shouldn't put up with it, but we do.
