So, to sum up:

- From the supposed quotes, it looks like he was trying to appropriate black culture (i.e. use the word similarly to how blacks use it to address each other in a friendly matter), not using it in a disparaging manner. Don't get me wrong, that's still wrong and racist for a white person to do, but it may not be actively malicious, just ignorant and tone-deaf.
