Context is only context for that person. For some people the context is of the word being 'taken back' from racists or used in solidarity as has been highlighted before in this thread. For other people the context is historic racial abuse and a few football fans trying to argue with them isnt going to convince them. For that reason I will not say that word, it's not a hard thing to do.
It's a nice idea to reclaim a word from racists but do you know what's even better? Not using it at all and letting it fade into obscurity.
