In what context did you use the word negro? Seems to me that is whats relevant.

The word can obviously be a racial slur depending on the context but if you were just quoting someone or making historical references thats different. Not too long ago they had tv commercials for the united negro college fund. Not sure if that organization is still a thing or if they changed the name.

I'm of the mind that there must be a rule for all or none, not a rule for some. If any slur is deemed acceptable for some, then it must be allowed by all. Rather as a lesson, I prefer that if it's thought ok for just some, it should actually be banned for all. Voila, decades of shit ghetto music wiped off the shelf.

I believe it was like "how's it going my negro," and not "those dirty negros..." It was not a righteous moderation action.

The mod should be cancelled for attempting to erase African American culture.

"how's it going my negro,".

"My negro" is at the intersection of modern slavery.
Negro is a Spanish word for black.
You explicitly stating that this black is your possession.

You have revealed yourself to be a slaver.

We oppose all forms of oppression.
