Thanks for the link, Azizi. What an interesting site. After lox's self-serving rationale, I decided to quit returning to this particular thread.

per lox:
"When I've been in the right setting I have said "Nigger", the right setting being where I know that people understand and trust my motivation and the meaning and context of my words, where I know that people will not take my words and abuse them to satisfy a derogatory agenda, where I am sure that noone will be made to feel uncomfortable, victimized, bullied etc".

Well, lox, good luck defending yourself where you might guess wrong. The only context I could come up with where all those conditions could be assumed was a Klan meeting.
