But it just blurs the line with the word, and it can cause confusion among people who aren't black who think all of sudden, there's times when it's ok to use the word.
Not saying it's ok for Peters to say what he said, and not saying I know what his intent was when using the word. But lets just say for the sake of argument he was using the word the same way he would use to describe country music as "hillbilly effing music", all of a sudden, it loses part to of the negative racial tone.
Just my opinion anyways. To be safe, I just never use the word at all. But I do get times where the word gets used and it wasn't intended to be a racial slur. (again, not saying that's the case with Peters here).

This take still exists in 2019 whewwwww
Its not "apparently" okay it just IS okay and if you're confused by that and use the word you're an idiot.
Since you don't know what his intent was, I'll tell you. His intent was to shame his player by associating his music, which he views as negative, with black people, who he also views as negative. Now bring on the free speech absolutists! I want to hear more about how this is a slippery slope and how we should be careful about "ruining" this millionaire racist's life.
