And after that, most people using it where using it as a slur, so it often was one, and even when it wasn't its not unreasonable to guess that it was meant as one since the odds would be with you. This has changed so much over time in my area of the country. Previous generations (my parents & my wife's parents) used the N-word openly and frequently and in the presence of black persons. It was not considered a slur by that generation in many places in the South. My wife's dad used the term until his dying day; yet, he was a hero amongst African Americans in his community for all of the charitable work he did for them.
