I'll answer my own question, since it obviously happened to me.
In context, the person wasn't saying "damn _____'s" and forgot I was around. It wasn't an act of hate. He sent me an IM that was meant for someone else.
He basically said he was being stupid and he apologized. He also blamed it on pop culture, saying that "shizzle my nizzle" was the same thing.
I lean toward AKA_monet. The relationship has changed. I can't trust someone who will use the word. Period, stupid or not. And maybe for that person, slip ups happen. But still, it's like damn.... you have it in you to say it.
It's someone who I respected, went to bat for, and even ignored some of the things they did or said that I didn't agree with. Yeah, they didn't ask for that kind of support...but when you really do value someone's friendship, you build up their character, whether they know it or not.
So that's that.....it was a hurtful moment, but I'm glad it's out there and over. At least I won't look like Boo Boo the Fool supporting someone who will use a racial slur when I'm not "around" so to speak.
