It's called reclaiming a word.

1. it makes no difference. As he was explaining, much has to do with the intention when using the word. Its actually quite ridiculous to say someone black can't be racist as there are many different sub categories within every race that can then be further targeted.

2. He was explaining why he used it. Doesn't stop it being racist, and his explanation backed up the fact that it was being used in a derogatory fashion.

3. That's what anyone who is racist would say, although I know that's not what you meant.
