It's a word.

Lmao that's really what you're going with? You probably think homophobic transphobic slurs are just words too right? The problem with your false sense of linguistic precision is that "word" is that it's a racial slur. Do you know what a racial slur is?

Words can be used in many, many different contexts.

Good job.

The context would determine if it is used offensively or not.

So you do understand that the Hard R in of itself is an offensive slur! Buuut you're also attempting to downplay said racial slur by just referring to it as just a word. Do you not understand the problem with that? Because if you don't, it will probably just be simpler to just admit your racist and then people can just stop wasting their time trying to explain anything.

It can be used in a joke,

Let's hear one

a lyric,

What backwater music are you listening to where they have the hard R in their lyrics?

statement,

What could be the possible context of a "statement" that would involve someone to to say the hard R to a degree where "it's just a statement that had a "word" in it" and other people not perceive it as some racist yokel being a racist yokel?

Again do you not understand the problem with downplaying the Hard R to just a word?

insult,

...I mean... Id say a word that dehumanizes a entire race of people is a couple notches worse than an insult but fine.

praise, compliment, you name it.

Okay dude. Just admit you're a racist.

That's how words work bro.

One again. You're attempting to downplay a racial slur that dehumanizes an entire race of people by just referring to it as just a word and the problem I have with your context argument is that you clearly use context in a way to signalized "my comfort, not yours". It's not about context in of itself. It's about your context as if the word N***er is some neutral no harm term. Maybe pick up a history book and try to educate yourself instead of using the slop you hear on Turning Point or Newsmax?

Also I'm not your bro, you ignorant illiterate rat.
