It's difficult to prove intent but we can try to assess context and tone.

So I don't want any nonblacks using any derivative of the "N word" around me.

I'll deal with the black people who use that word in a different manner. Groups can use whatever words they want to around each other. It isn't the role of outsiders to judge that and wonder why they can't do the same. I used to hate hearing whites say "but why can't WE say it?" Why do you want to say it? Does it kill you not to be able to? I only tolerate nonblack linguists saying it for educational purposes and even these linguists need not get too comfortable and say it too often.
