NOT to say that it was right to use the word but I SERIOUSLY doubt that it was meant to be hurtful more like emulating what she saw/heard. Her being born white she's born with a natural ignorance, she won't understand the shock we/some of us get hearing that word from a caucasion person. It also seems as if everyone uses and didn't mine if she used it either. I gurantee KE-KE wasn't too offended as it may seem and can also can bet money they've exchange the word back as so-called "Endearment". Trust i seen this before, where a white was born raised around Africans and they accept him/her using the word in endearment.

HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID
K.W.: My mom was raised around African-American people all her life. She can cornrow and everything. All she knows is the African-American way of living, because her stepfather was Black and she was raised by his family. She will use the N-word like it’s going out of style. I say, “Mama you can’t just go around using the N-word,” and she’s like, “I don’t give a damn. I say what I want to say. N---a ain’t no color, it’s an ignorant person.”

2.) they didn't need a movie to know that the word started out to be/or is negative, that's obvious. This lady (her mother) was not racist just ignorant as the BLACK people she grew up around, period.

Racism is white supremacy supported by gun and law. She displayed neither. She may be ignorant, but not racist.
