I made my point, it’s easier to not say it at all because at the end of the day, nobody should be saying that word (especially if you’re not black - I gave my reasons for this) regardless of context. Whether he meant it or not, it’s the principle and he was doubling down & putting sytho in a headlock for little to no reason in his response which is why this blew up more than it should’ve in the first place.
Let’s think about a timeline where he said the n word and he responded to the backlash saying “i’m sorry, i understand the weight of the word, i won’t say it again”. Nobody would give a shit, and if anything it’d just be funny in a year. Stop trying to enable poor actions from others because you’re starting to sound just as bad as him.
