There seems to be a general consensus that "blacks" have the right to use the infamous magic word. OK. If we grant that "right" or privilege to "blacks," we have to define exactly who is "black" and allowed to use the n-word. How much "black blood" is needed in order to use the n-word, especially given that it is a favorite hobby of black elites to denounce many white-identified people as "blacks" supposedly "passing for white"? If we concede that "black blood" gives one the right to use the n-word, why shouldn't Latinos and Arabs be able to use it since nearly all of them have the dreaded "black blood" to various extents?
A general excuse cited for NOT punishing blacks who use the n-word is that it is some kind of comforting, comradely expression of racial affection and solidarity that blacks use with each other. What about the blacks who scream at your biracial children, "You think you white. You ain't nothing but a n*****!" Are people known to have "black blood" expected to take that kind of treatment with masochistic, slavish docility? School administrators will do nothing to protect them because it is understood that blacks have the "right" to abuse their own "property."
Traditional mulatto elites often use the n-word to refer to the real blacks and they use it as an expression of contempt for the people with whom they felt forced to share a hated name and "racial" status. Should they be punished for this, or is it simply an "internal" embarrassment to be swept under the rug?
If black American rappers choose to create "art" using the n-word and sell that "art" to anyone who can buy it, why shouldn't the buyers have the right to repeat those songs/raps for their own enjoyment? They paid good money for them. Instead, there seems to be an agreement that a "white" or otherwise "non-black" buyer should be crucified for repeating the n-word in a rap song.
One drop will get you a pass if you’re a Lefty. Full black won’t protect you if you’re conservative. Sad that people think this way but the pay is good.

In your comment, you start to delve into the "analytic discussion" of this word's many "subtle" meanings that I hint at in another comment here.
