But there is no point. What the heck is the point in bringing the 'n' word into a conversation where I have clearly said that I don't think certain things were ever moral or ever will be?
The point is, though, that the morality of using the word "nigger" has, indeed changed over time.
Back when the word was invented, it was considered a normal word to refer to the "Negro" sub-humans. It was perfectly moral to use it.
Then later, it was considered a very terrible, immoral word in pretty much all cases where it was used. It was a terrible put-down to anybody.
Nowadays, however,
in certain cases calling someone "nigger" is not a put down, but a term of affection or group identification. It has been kind of "reclaimed" by the group that used to be most affected by it.
So, it can be considered both moral and immoral, depending upon context.
What you seem to be saying is that once an action, like calling someone "nigger", is considered immoral, it always is.
That is demonstrably not true.
I think you are once again trying to reduce human social behavior into simplistic, soundbites and it just doesn't work.
