Would I say "Trump only sees you as a cotton-picking n----r" to a black Trump supporter? Yeah, if the context was right (like it is in the example). Hard r and all. Because it's true - that is what Trump thinks, even if he's smart enough not to say it (often).

That's not the same as me calling them the n-word, I'm stating what someone else thinks.

Of course I wouldn't call a black person the n-word. Not because I'm afraid of the word itself, but because I genuinely don't believe in the image of black people that word was meant to create.

But Trump absolutely does. And it's ok to call a spade a spade. Important, even.
