We have this discussion every semester in my sociology class. Uniformly, all of the African American students are adamant that, if you are not Black, it is NOT okay to use that word in ANY context. Invariably, a White or Hispanic kid will argue, “I have lots of friends who are Black. I can use the word.” They are always told in no uncertain terms that they are mistaken.

Please tell all the African American students that Grandma agrees and said it's not ok for people who are not African American to use the word Nigger.
See what I did there, I used the n-word in a context that was necessary to explain my exact sentiment. Are you offended by my use of it?
Illini expressing outrage because he can't comprehend Leawood's intent when he posted what he did is comical. On second thought, it's not really funny at all.

You old white people just don't get it.

It's still not okay for you to say it in that context....or at least it shouldn't be ok.

Forgetting all the other ignorant shit you have spewed this evening, you have referred to me as "old" (I am 53 years old) and a "self righteous libtard".
Any other labels you wish to cast upon me - for me to laugh at?

Again, the word is not for you — not in story form, not in scenario form, not in music nor pop culture form."

Take her word for it. She's an educated black woman.

53 is pretty young to be a grandmother. When did you start having kids? Like, 18?

15.
Or maybe I was 28 and my 25 year old daughter has a kid? I forget.
I assume you are well aware I am not a grandmother.
Why would it possibly matter to you how old I would have been when I had my first child if I was indeed a 53 year old grandmother?
