We are in an information and language war with an an "anti-racist" enemy. This political correctness agenda that has been running since at least the 80s has to such an extent weaponised language, with a list of censored terms to create total havoc in society. Since we are effectively at war with the censors, it is a lesser evil at this point in history to turn a blind eye to a few racial slurs than to try to bleach everything with political correctness.
It is one of the most useless and dumb things ever to have a middle ground with literal Marxists. I don't have to remind everyone here as to who coined the society destroying term of "racism". I feel like even Trotsky himself would shiver at what people call racist today.
The argument for associating it with a religious forum is something I disagree with. I have to say, and I seriously hope you guys follow this, no one here would go far on judging someone for their color, or skin. "I have a black friend" and all that, but unironically. If rich people from big cities did not live in ethnic enclaves, they would put KKK leaders from Mississippi in tears. I live in Brazil of all places, so I feel like I have a say on this.
If it was about color, then take a look at African albinos and tell me those guys are part of the "master race". If it was about the shape of their faces and all that, then we would have debates here on whether Arabs, Italians, Berbers, Greeks, etc. are white or not, which would ruin this site instantly. I also type the word that sparked this controversy while referring to some whites, mostly out of muscle memory, but also because of nog behavior, or wigger behavior. The post that sparked this mentions Somalis, but I'm sure there are a few good Somalis. I used to lurk somalispot, a Somali forum, out of curiosity for what African forums were like, and most of the posters were just autists who wouldn't hurt a fly or couldn't even talk to women. Not the majority, probably, but, all judgement should be based on Christian morality.
It is just a word. The sort of language Jesus would approve, as OP puts it, would undoubtedly change over the years with their connotations. Look at a few words in the Bible, like "hypocrites", or "Synagogue of Satan", and tell me these wouldn't change if the left tacked on to them. I would put the you know what word at the same tier as faggot, since it is also a choice to act like a you know what.
The difference is that America, and a lot of the West, have created an idol of the individuals from sub-Saharan Africa, so every single blasphemy or slur you can think of it pales in comparison to black in Spanish or ni-
