Any white person prepared to use the 'n' word, in any context whatsoever, has got to be a dedicated non-thinker with a respect deficit. If black people have chosen to reclaim the word, that's their choice. White people cannot decide what black people will or will not find offensive. I think black people have made it pretty clear that they feel it is okay for them to use the word, and offensive for white people to use it. It's quite easy to understand.
