“No one should use it. And a politician doing so has a death wish.”
The word does have negative connotations - so I can understand objections to its use in public and in private, and to people imagining the word in their heads.
Setting that aside, can you remember the last time an elected official was removed from office for using the Lord’s name in vain?
Seems perfectly acceptable in Rap music and Athletic fields
Social rules for an era matter. Only the stupid politicians will flaunt those that are uniquely important.
That said, the “n” word truly does have a history of intent to demean.
So, it’s not just about social rules that are important. For me, it also involves my Christianity. It is wrong for me to demean another human just because of their race.
