I agree with most of the sentiment here, but predominantly I feel its about intent and the person you're communicating with. Frankly, I think the only time I've ever used it is quoting someone else using it. ("N-ah please.") The fact that its used in some accepted parlance means that some of the animosity and racism behind it has fallen away. (Because we are a specie that depends on our sight to process data, it will be nearly impossible to ever be truly free of pre-judgment.)
But, I'll be damned if I ever forget Mississippi Burning.
Bottom line, its how you carry yourself and what you're willing to accept. If others that are part of your life, be they friends or children, see your example, they will process it and modify their behavior accordingly.
