but that also it can be used as an ironic and affctionate term between black people as a term of endearment.

the same way, some parents might call their children "little piggy" it sounds offense on the outside, and if you called a woman at work "little piggy" they would be horribly offended, but if it's used in an affectionate way in a family, it's not offensive.

As I said, its all in your usage and your intention behind it, he was saying that it can be a general purpose derogatory term.

With that many connotations behind the word, none of them good, there is no justification for using it.
