        You know what, his flippant and ready use of it in public speaks volumes about what he says in private.

        I would start a 'yes it does' 'no it doesn't' back and forth Twitter war, but you clearly don't understand the mindset of racism.

        Plenty of context. The man used a forbidden word. That doesn't happen unless you are familiar with its use.

        It is such a vulgar word and anyone with any sense would cringe at even hearing the word let alone say it.

        Can't believe Bill apologized. He didn't mean it as an offense. If he's apologizing for shit, then we're all doomed.

        I am saddened that he apologised for it. It is an entertainment show - he says things in an unfiltered way. Don't watch if you don't like it

        There's two contexts here: the context of the joke in which he used the word, and the irredeemable historic context of the word itself.
