And some black people are ok with a white person using that word, depending on context

And some black people aren't ok with even black people using it. Like ever.

It's all just a matter of context and opinion.
I guess if i were black, i probably wouldn't use it (impossible to know for sure though). Especially not at the level it's used today. It was an oppressive word then. And i think it still is.
Way i see it anyways.
