Since the word has only one definition, it's not about context.
The number of definitions is now related to context? Well that's a new one. Should've expected as much from a Christian.

Oh, but it is. let's look at it:

"There are thousands of people treated unfairly daily," O'Kelly said. "Hell, your number just happened to come up in the lottery. I'm guessing it was more than just luck, Roger, right?"
Stone was silent, then it sounded like he was either away from the phone or covering it up when he said, "I don't really feel like arguing with this negro."

"I'm sorry, what was that?" O'Kelly responded. "Roger? I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Stone denied calling him that, saying on air, "I did not. You're out of your mind. You're out of your mind."

If, Stone actually said, "I don't really feel like arguing with this negro" he was obviously talking to someone else who was most likely white. Now, why would he refer to Morris W. O’Kelly as a "negro" in the first place? Why not "this radio host"? or "O'Kelly"? Why refer to him as a negro?
