I didn't just say knowing the meaning, I said knowing it's wrong and using it anyway.  See that last line again.  And I'm sorry but the pejorative and derogatory nature of the word is not up for you to determine.  You don't get to decide whether using it wrong or not.  That's already been decided long ago.  But go ahead and use it with wild abandon and let me know how that goes for you.

No its not up to me to determine but i aint for people to start using that word more and its also not up to you to determine it is racist, words can be used for different things even when something like a dictonary exists that you really implement badly for this and depending on sentence and further context words can be manipulated.

I would never tell you that i like people using that word but that counts for everyone and i do my research to determine whether its use was racist and not base it solely from definitions out of the dictonary cause thats a flawed and incomplete way to look at it.

" But go ahead and use it with wild abandon and let me know how that goes for you"

You really see a speck of prove in that a slur cannot be used freely among the masses,you make a connection to racism because of that?

I am a polite person so i do not use it like you suggest me doing but even if i did it should not make me racist.

 

Edit: Also outside of the mildly negative back and forth, have a great Christmas!
