If you think yes then you don't belong on this site. It comes down to "was the reason for using it as an insult valid?" Most of the time the answer is yes.
Sadly Sheriff shooting uncc'd cop doesn't qualify as valid.

I only use it when I really hate someone and I think they're irreversibly stupid. So yes. That said, I'd rather not get reported for it because I seem to use it quite often on this site.

For the record......I am generally and emphatically offended by this whole thread and hop the mods will remove it. The whole thread is in bad taste and is obviously directed towards me because I am the most vocal about not using the R word.
oh really you hop are you a kangaroo

vote : no
reasoning : I don't believe in censorship via force unless someone is threatened in some way, literally fears the person who is to be censored, or is actually the target of **continued** harassment.

that being said like most discriminatory words i don't think they are inherently wrong to use, this is made quite clear by the fact that groups discriminated against often recycle words that were used to discriminate them. Giving them new meanings via tone and use of said words.

what about people who are bigoted against those who think only the genetically superior should survive
I also agree with Hitler that non superior races should be exterminated
